Phantom 03 and 08! Those hornlines were absolutely killer, any brass players dreams!
-
Troopers are going to be in the fight for Finals this year no doubt. Gotta catch up to Crossmen, which is within their reach, and Trooper could easily take the 12 slot at Finals! Exciting times!
-
BK is definitely working hard this year and will be a force to contend with at Finals. Beating Phantom Regiment...probably not. But going toe to toe with Cavaliers is certainly a possibility.

I would have to say SCV 2013. Very spiffy.
-
I would love to see Crown take it all the way this year! BD has a long history of success and I respect that immensely. BD has always been one of my favorites, but it is time for Crown to have their glory! It's time to stop settling for brass titles and take it all! Give us more of that in-your-face brass!!!!

i guess I'll show my youth, my first experience was in the 8th Grade. My band director took a few of us brass players into his office and told us to gather around the computer. He showed us a video of the Blue Devils playing "When a Man Loves a Woman" we were all dumbfounded. Here we were, only playing our horns for 2 1/2 years and there are these guys on a screen doing things I can't even imagine. So of course, it sparked my curiosity and started the fire. Ever since I have been a drum corps addict. I have had the oppurtunity to attend a live show in 2011. Incredible! Phantom's low brass was blowing me away! I have a few years left till I age-out and I fully intend to. Plan on trying my luck at Crossmen auditions in November. The Blue Devils will always be close to my heart though and I hope to march with them before I age-out.

Well not so far. Only one I know of is JD Shaw at UNM. I wear my SCV alumni hat at times but no one seems to know what that is. I went to one of the ABQ DC shows and ran into a fellow SCV alum who taught at one of the local ABQ HS here but he's moved on and now resides in LA. One of SCV show designers has resided in Roswell for some time.
I have heard the rumor about the SCV show designer. He/She supposedly resides right behind my high school. Our band director always tell us that if we play loud enough and the "old lady" hears us she brings cookies. Then he told me that the "old lady" was really an SCV show designer. I was awestruck! I wish I could meet the legend.

I'm in ABQ!

Not too far away! I bet in a town that size there are quite a few corps alumni huh?
-
Has Carolina Crown ever messed around with some Tchaikovsky? If not, they totally should!!!
-
As long as it has some blaring brass and the same level of excellence as last year I'll be more than happy. If they get the drumline cleaned up this could definitely be their year to take it all!
-
Hey. I live in Roswell.
Really? Awesome!
-
I know of at least one Trooper alum there. I'll point them to your post!
Thank you!

was it a truck or a "weather balloon" and did the guy have a huge round head?
Very clever guys! Very clever! Can't go anywhere without at least one alien joke! Haha

This sounds like a weird request I'm sure, but I am looking for any drum corps alumni living in the Roswell, NM area. A few months ago I passed a truck with a Madison Scouts Alumni sticker on it and it peaked my interest. I know it is a relatively small community (50,000), but I was wondering if there possibly were any alumni in the area and this seemed liked the perfect place to try and find out. Oh the joys of the internet!

A few weeks ago I was driving home from school and pull up to a stoplight. I look to my left and in the turn lane is a truck with a Madison Scouts Alumni sticker. Before I even had the chance to roll down my window he had already turned. I am still on the search for that man, lol, which you wouldn't think that would be too hard in a little town like Roswell. Oh well...

I love the Blue Devils, I really do. But I think that Crown got robbed last year. The brass was ridiculously good, sure the line needed some work, but I'm sure they'll have that fixed this year. Get in some amazing general effects and the title is theirs. I think that BD has finally met its match
Good job Carolina Crown. Can't wait to see what you do this year.-

Looking forward to some booming low brass this year!
-
Thanks guys! I will contact him. I'm a brass guy by the way, trumpet. But I could probably pull off mello if need be. I have a baritone friend that wants to audition with me. The only thing that keeps us from it, is we don't know how we would get to auditions. If we could figure that out we would already be registered.
-
I was wondering if anyone out there in the wonderful world of DCP could give me any insight into the audition methods used by Genesis. Or other similar open class corps. Especially anyone that has attended one of their camps. Any information would be very greatly appreciated.
-
Thank you!!! I looked about a week ago I think and there was nothing. You're a life saver!
-
In your opinion what was the most underrated hornline in DCI this last season and why. My personal opinion is the Crossmen. That hornline was rocking!

Does anyone know when Genesis auditions are? I really want to get prepared. I'm excited to see how I do at a corps audition. And Genesis is my pick!
-
I was perfectly ok with the semi-religious theme of their show. I actually thought it was pretty ballsy.

Genesis did absolutely great last year and I was wondering how they are doing this year. If anyone has seen their show give me some insight, I haven't really been able to find any good footage.
