I was first exposed to drum corps in my junior year of high school. We watched the Cavaliers' performance of "007" (it was back in '04) and I recall saying to myself "People can really do that?!" Needless to say, I was captivated.

SCV 1999 Carolina Crown 2009 Cavaliers 2002

Cavaliers 2005. Basically, the whole section following the baseball movement.

I don't hate any of them this year. In fact, of all the DCI shows I've ever seen, there are only 3 or 4 of them that I actually don't care for. "Hate" is a term we should use for horrible things like murder; using it for drum corps shows is a bit much.

It was November 2009.

I never marched corps, but I remember Pacific Crest's drum major getting killed in a car crash on the 60 freeway three years ago. This hit me hard because I live close to that area.

7/25 Hattiesburg, MS Blue Devils- 91 Phantom Regiment- 89.1 Spread- 1.9 Edmond, OK The Cadets- 88.8 Academy- 76.75 Spread- 12.05

SCV 1999 "The Canyon" by Philip Glass

I like that the Cadets are doing a Christmas-themed show this year. Its message should be one remembered throughout the whole year, not just when it's December.
