Sad News from Music City
bobjective replied to The Other Mike's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
The answer is open class corps need to have more local or regional contest to perform in and then maybe DCI open class finals. MAYBE! -
How would you have ranked the top 12?

Crown BD SCV Cadets Blue Coats Phantom Scouts Boston Cavies Blue Knights Spirit Troopers -
I said it at the beginning of the year that the scout's' drumline was smoking! But at the time no one was giving them credit. Well, they are one if the best lines in drum corps! They could easily be top 3 next year. Lee Beddis and his staff have my deepest respect. And after talking with Robert Smith, if we think the horn line is awesome now, just wait. We haven't seen anything yet. Visual/guard I don't know about them. That's another story. Maybe it just takes longer. Or maybe those judges have a built in bias against Madison in those captions. But to me those two captions are the weak links for the Scouts right now.

Which show moves you emotionally?
bobjective replied to JKT90's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Madison, Troopers and SCV!!!!! -
I may be a conspiracy person. But, I don't think the judges will allow Madison or BAC to beat the Cavaliers this year. As under achieving as the Cavaliers' hornline is this year, Madison and BAC should both be ahead of them right now. But, neither BAC or Madison is a part of the G7 Click. Uh Oh, I should not have said that!'n

It might be tight down the stretch. But, BD will win the title in Indy.

I had to go back take off the green colored glasses and objectively look at the corps ahead of Madison. I looked at cavaliers and SCV. And it is true that although the cavaliers are boring and esoteric at times, they have a better overall visual package than scouts. SCV is not so boring musically and has a much better visual program as well. I feel that until Madison does get their visual program on track their horns and percussion will not get their just due scores.
-
There has to be a legitimate reasoning why the visual staff is writing these less visually complex types of shows. But, what is it? Lack of talent, lack of money to field it, or just plain lack of creativity? I honestly don't think it's the latter. But, I do think however it is time to make a move to the next level.

Seems like there was not a lot of interest in this show.

Best World Class Guards Ever?
bobjective replied to DrumManTx's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Madison won best guard in 1983. Check that year out as well. -
Yes apparently so.

Can someone please explain with PR being from Illinois how they have a sponsored home show in West Virginia?

I liked the blue devils of the 80s and 90s. Certainly not the blue devils of today. I would be willing to bet that the blue devil design team could care less about the fans. They care more about titles and championships. I got a former blue devil drum major to admitt this several years ago. The sad thing is that DCI feels that the blue devils have earned the right to do these type of esoteric shows because they have won so many championships. They feel that the blue devils will be the corps to push the activity future. In reality they will push the activity, they will push it right OUT of a future if someone in DCI that has the courage does not step up and speak out really quick! If I am a young person and want to march in a corps and have only one shot to win a title, guess where I'm going? Concord, CA! I am so glad that I marched during the 80s when there was a more even playing field, real bugles, great recognizable musical books and more competitive parody. -

The Greyhound Throwdown!
bobjective replied to loopin' froot loops's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
You are correct his son is in special forces. And, there have been several veterans that have commented on the show and they love it!!! The fact of the matter is war is not pretty! At least they're not showing the reality of scooping up body parts and putting them in body bags!!! For the sake of reality, man up a bit!!! -
