Cinemark Connecticut Post Mall, Milford, CT, with the better half, as well as Cathy from Hurricanes' HG & souvies, in our remote-controlled "luxury loungers", sporting our purple. Go Mandarins! -

Mandarins 2018
grenadasmoothie replied to Cadevilina Crown's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Now THAT would be the best drum corps story EVER for me!!!!!!!!!!!! And, btw, surprising, yes, but I don't know I'd say astonishing. A great organization, with a great show, with their best talent ever, with big mo seemingly on their side now, as well as the what feels like the majority of the drum corps community pulling for them. . . OTOH, I'll be thrilled to see them hang on to 10th, but, oh, man, would my wife and I ever pop open a bottle of champagne at home Saturday night on hearing the news they pulled off 8th. -
Better this week than next, at least.

Nothing AT ALL against PR, but it would make my (& my better half's) summer to see this happen with our own eyes in Allentown on Friday -

Might not necessarily be a significant weakness to lose to Spartans' guard. They're VERY good. -
DCI Southeastern Regional - July 28, 2018
grenadasmoothie replied to Barneveld's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'd give them a better than 85% chance. Some of the corps below them are improving VERY quickly (Knock, knock!!!), but so are they! In fact, I think they have a very strong chance of passing PR (OK, I hope and wish, too, but I don't think many people would be surprised if they do). -

Great job in ATL last night, beloved purple team! So close to knocking off yet one more "big name" corps.. We might even stick around for scores in Allentown in case it happens then . -
Peckville Order Or Times?

Here live. Thinking Cincy ahead of Sun. We'll see in a minute or two. -
How does flooding probably making the originally planned housing unavailable, either because it's being used as shelter or because it's flooded itself, have anything to do with whether YEA should remain in Allentown or not?

380 mile round trip for me, $225 for a hotel room last night, five and a half hours for the 168 miles from lunch in Phillipsburg today to home. Big mess of suck. I STILL feel the right decision was made last night . And seeing the source of the first "like" on this post, it was all worth it just to exchange this week's hello with kamaraq and his lovely bride .

Yup, same thing I noticed when I saw them. Brass all down by the right side 30. Heard them from the left side speakers. Love the show, great brass/drums/drill writing, best use of vocalists I've seen, but, c'mon, can't this be fixed pretty easily?

We are going absolutely bonkers having to wait two more weeks to see them live finally in Allentown. Heard from a friend who saw them in TX last night, and he was totally sold! Nothing really to add to the conversation here, except, GO PURPLE TEAM!!!!! -

A little anecdote to show how Mandarins' popularity is spreading: I worked the Clifton, NJ DCA show last Saturday night. Until then, for years I had described myself and my wife as the only diehard Mandarins fans in the northeast. On Saturday, though, we saw a lady with the purple Mandarins logo T-shirt at the show . Welcome to the club, unknown drum corps fan in New Jersey!
