MAX Studios

Yes, I guess I should have said the New iPhone that will be out. I currently have a 4S and am able to stream very well on 3G, but once again you can't stream live events as it is HTML5 coding that Apple does not support. Don't know about other mobil devices. I only know what my phone will do.

4G might work depending on newer iPhones, you could stream to a HDTV via the apple tv module. The only hang up is that you can forget about live streaming events as they (DCI) uses HTML5 coding which is not supported by Apple. You would have to wait till it is put up in the On Demand section where the video are mp4, there for Quicktime can play them on the Apple Device.

Did not call them pros, said " being TRAINED to be Pros"

I believe this is the case.

MARCHING MUSIC'S MAJOR LEAGUE. The kids that are marching corps today know exactly what they are getting into! A professional environment to succeed in life. The only difference about this Major League is that the judges and DCI get paid. The kids don't. But hey, they are being TRAINED to be pros. With that said, a little booing toward the judges (scores) and some of the show designs should be unnerving.

Don't know if it is possible or can be done based on rules, but what if corps were to use the Fanfare brass samples created by Sample Logic. They were recorded using the BD horn line. Making it possible to increase actual tuba, and any other brass instruments volume for that matter. Maybe some one here knows if any corps are using it.

I say open the books or lose status. Better yet, go to a salary cap type system and spread the wealth among the other corps. So that they can have similar staffs, traveling accommodations, etc. Try to level the playing(Marching) field kind of like what NASCAR does with rules and specs based on the physical car, and let it be determined by the driver or in this case the actual performer. It just seems to me that with how many staff members jump from corps to corps, that it is about George Washington beeing your best friend. I for one can understand why with today's economic problems, but if a cap was put into place it would not only put less emphasis on individuals wanting to march with say a top eight corps(TOC) with a shot at a title, and staying local to a corps that has a down stream of money from the cap.

I think I remember seeing that some where. Thanks for the reminder.

That's good to hear.

After seeing tonights show here in the Buffalo NY area, one thought comes to mind. Will Blue Coats "Masquerade" opener be blacked out for sync license on the blue rays?

You might want to check out Blue Rocks campground. It is down the interstate by only 15 minutes and is easy to get to stadium at the Dorney park exit. They have regulare tent and RV sites along with small cabins for rent. They have a nice out door pool and shower facilities, along with a general store at the main entrance. It is way cheaper then the rooms in Allentown. My family of three has stayed there four times now and never had any issues. Plenty of trees for shade, and a natural blue rock glacier deposit that you can hike to. Here is link for your viewing pleasure. http://www.bluerockscampground.com

My son and I will be going to The Regal Transit 16 theater in Williamsville NY. Only five minutes away and there is a Quaker Steak and lube right next to it. So beer and wings before and then showtime!
