Hey everyone,
I just posted this blog: Goliath Awakens!
I look forward to joining everyone at Spring Fling and then catching the Community Night performance back in Castleton, VT on Monday the 17th.
Just as an fyi.....Ron isn't the director. Chris Holland is. Ron is his assistant.
And did you receive permission to take photos of the corps during rehearsal and of any possible items to be used in the show (props)? Last thing I knew was the corps didn't mind people viewing practice, but no photos/videos/audio recordings were allowed. Sure fire way to have the corps, or any corps, decide to close rehearsals is to not respect their requests.

True. But whomever nails a performance that night could win it, so why not Boston? It’s not like they finished several points back. And I’m telling you, they will come out strong. Their brass line is for real, guard is picking up where they left off and percussion will impress.
Careful Lab. You don't want to be accused of over- hyping here on DCP.
See you Friday.

It does not. But the ventilation and air flow is much improved over the previous truck.

Boston was 13th after the 2016 semifinals. They didn’t have a mind set to ease back into higher placements. I don’t know if they already had their future hired staff lined up, but the director and BOD basically said enough is enough. I feel the Cadets want to improve as soon as possible also. As do the Cavies.
For the sake of accuracy...... Boston was 13th after 2016 quarterfinals. If they had been 13th after semi's, they would not have been in finals.
Back on topic, looking forward to seeing what the Cadets put on the field this season..

The final production camp of the 2019 season is complete after a successful late April weekend in Lakewood Ranch, FL. Without question, the buzz of drum corps season was present throughout the weekend.
Guard auditions brought back many familiar faces returning for another season of BACCG. New talent was in abundance as the brand of the award winning color guard is at an all time high. The choreography, the design, and the writing of the guard work attracts a special type of performer. Michael Townsend, Brady Sanders, and the full team were all on hand to teach and evaluate. No doubt the 2019 guard will be another great chapter for all to enjoy. Congrats to all who went after it and to those chosen to travel to Castleton, Vermont for move-ins.
Brass and percussion spent the remainder of the weekend putting together several show productions for the design team. Ryan George, Colin McNutt, Keith Potter, Mike Zellers and Iain Moyer were on site to bring more sections of the 2019 production to life. The brass learned the first minute and a half of drill on Saturday morning under the watchful eye of designer Leon May. It was a good introduction to the learning process. At the public performance on Sunday, the ensemble performed 9 minutes of show material. By the reaction of the crowd on hand – we are on to something special.
Many thanks to all of our volunteers, our admin team, and the unsung heroes behind the scenes that make it possible for our members to experience drum corps on the highest level. Dr. Vivien completed all the necessary medical on-boarding of our 2019 guard, while Barb Ferguson and Jeanne Cirillo captured the measurements for costumes.
The Lakewood Ranch community came out in full support and we had lots of local alumni, parents, and friends in the stadium on Sunday afternoon.

yeah, we're considering not going to finals at all now. The DCI person I've been dealing with shared some of the challenges of Lucas Oil Stadium and those nasty glass panels. It sounds like there are many, many seats that have similar obstructions. There was no indication that seeing over the panel in these particular seats is possible, and seeing photos from that general area lead me to believe that you have to look through the glass. I've hated Lucas Oil Stadium for years, and I continue to hate it. Where's Camp Randall when you need it???
The whole point of becoming a Friend was to get great seats - we aren't rolling in money, so this was a bit of an extravagance for us, and something that I've really been looking forward to. I can't believe they are giving obstructed view seats to Friends. I guess I'm grateful that they've told me about this in advance, as it would have been really bad to discover it when we got there.
Murfreesboro is a great show, and good seats are still available. We are exploring other options.
Perhaps Jeff Ream, or someone else, can confirm or debunk.
It's my understanding that Friends of DCI seat locations are (or at least used to be) assigned based on length of time as a member in Friends of DCI. Meaning someone who's been in for many years gets better seats than someone who just signed up this season, like Xena45.

Is this thread about Cadets 2019? I'm not sure, so thought I would check.

Yes. I clearly acknowledged this above in my comments above on this thread too. I'd imagine most DCP posters understood where I was not asking for such " show material " audio/ videos from Corps camps either in my remarks above. Thus, the concern over music " licensing " ( a legit one in DC, imo )is really not germaine here to any of my remarks above.
From another thread, but an appropriate response:

On 4/4/2019 at 12:32 PM, Jeff Ream said:exactly. the proof is out there...you can suffocate under unrealistic expectations. Cadets many years, Phantom last year...hell Madison with the Kenton show
Anyway, back on topic - congrats to YEA for what sounds like a very successful fundraiser!

Just now, garfield said:
And your input for our deep consideration is...?
It was a quote from the original poster. And my point was the same one the OP made just a few posts ago, about the thread drifting and derailing.
No need for the attitude. Thanks.

I think we got it.... 😀
And I hope DCI is looking for ways to spread the good news other than website only. My biggest worry with the new policy is not reviewing it annually to look for shortcomings that come up or society changes. Will have to check the website for any latest
I agree with the above emphasized quote, not for people like Jim, garfield, myself, etc. but more for the casual fan or someone who isn't a fan.
They are the ones who read the original article (s), most likely form a negative opinion/perception (rightly or wrongly), and not invested/interested enough to follow up. It's important that they hear that things are changing/improving. And if they're casual fans or not fans, spreading the news other ways, in addition to the website, is important.
They could be people who very possibly make the decision on hosting a corps or having a show. They could be people who "put pressure" on the decision makers to host or not host, etc.

craiga you've supported the corps in good times and bad (and lord knows there's been plenty of bad times over the last 79 years). And your love for the corps has never wavered. seems like the complete opposite of a fair-weather fan to me. Obviously the person who made that comment has NO clue.
