It looks like Colt Cadets will get a higher score tonight than Phantom Regiment, Bluecoats, or the Cavaliers.

I think Bluecoats show is amazing, but it was designed with indoor stadiums in mind. Wet floor or a little rain could really derail it.

Did Vessel have no horns ? I guess they did OK with what they had to work with. I thought I heard something, but I never saw a horn (on Flo)

PR needs their absolute best run to stay with the Blue Stars tonight. I didn't see any props really getting in the way for BS .

Colts have a much better theme and a better written show than Scouts. Scouts show is probably below their ability level. Anyway both corps huge improvement over 3 weeks ago (jf you can tell anything from watching it on Flo.)

Well Colt Cadets is showing improvement from 3 weeks ago. They really need to get the guard involved in the show though. The music parts are improving but the guard seems disconnected from the rest of the corps

As far as the show goes spoke to the show designers a few weeks ago and they said that they will be adding the walk as the season progresses. So by finals there will actually be a walk. I think you can see parts of it right now, but I am sure that by finals it will be easy to understand the show.

Good to see some open class corps looking good

I think the replay tomorrow is my best shot at seeing BD and SCV

I have been puzzled by the scores especially PR this season. However last night PR seemed a little off. I think they took some things that didn't work out of the show and they were not sure what they were doing in those spots. I was thinking a few moments of awkward visual silence . They did not appear to be moving with confidence I think maybe they made some changes kinda late in the practice cycle. I think the next outing there will be a drastic improvement in scores. As much as I like the show last night was was not the best showing for them

PR Guard needs to build its confidence. everyone else has that confidence on the field but the Guard needs to get a little attitude,

I really liked Boston's show. I liked the pacing and staging though I think the brass has a good tone, I like it louder,

Working with a small corps is rewarding. If proper techniques are taught your kids move on to world class corps, then at DCI you can cheer for probably 8 of the top 12 corps since your kids all stepped up and made it with world Class corps. So spending time with a small learning corps can be very worthwhlie for the marchers

Lf I remember correctly this was a free show in 99 or 2000. I talked to many Crown members after the show and many said they wanted to go to Glassmen next year. It was also one of the first shows where Corpvets (the atlanta DCA Corps performed.

I believe the policy is if you spend more than 8 hours in contact with the members. So if you came out one day to work the food truck you would be OK w/o a background check. but you would need it for the second day. It is good to have it regardless just to be safe for you and the corps.

No

I agree SUTA is just for the members. However I do not think someone should ask people to shout out something that they do no understand

There are many moving parts in a Drum Corps show. people moving props, handing off instruments to others. Even just empty space on the field can get marchers disoriented and lead to collisions. I think the corps I was with earlier the # 15 people missing they could not safely perform the show

4 points between each corps

I guess they figure if you get bored enough you will go out and get that 18th regiment shirt to hang in your closet for the next 15 years

So were the local authorities informed of this abuse ? Were charges filed against the abuser ?

The show cancellation has to do with many moving parts in the show. If one of the people moving props is not there then people will be running into the props and that's what a thing. Also there are parts that require two people working together like people dancing together or even the soloist handing off their instruments to someone else. And when too many pieces are missing it just becomes dangerous for everyone so that is why you would do a standstill

I think that BD not going to Indy last year may have an effect on this years scores.

Pretty amazing how all of the sudden this year the oil companies got greedy I am glad that 2 years ago they were not greedy and they gave us low prices. Maybe they knew corps would be back on the road.
