I do know that my one and only year in Senior corps (73) they were abbreviated preliminary shows.
Maybe for you guys but I know at Sky we did a full show in prelims

Not in DCA, 73 was my 1st year in Sky and I was at the 72 DCA. All shows were complete

In 1975 at the Beantown Invitational Jackie Lester the electric pencil zeroed out 8 of the 10 percussion sections, we (Sky) ended up 2nd with a .04 and the Hurcs won that night with a 0.6
-
btw, both C2 and Fusion had penalties of 2.8 and 2.6 respectively for unfinished programs

1977 was the first year of full-show prelims.
Full show prelims were way before that, at least from 1972

Andrew Hill was a young man dedicated to his community and a fine snare drummer, His sudden loss came as a major shock to all of us that knew and cared about him, may he RIP

Mr. Pratt is in my thoughts and prayers, he is an icon in the rudimental drumming world

This could turn out to be one of the most exciting finishes in DCA history. Has been a weird season the way the adjudicated opportunities have been stretched out for some groups but I expect to see some hellified performances coming from everyone over the next couple weeks. The ultimate winner will be the crowds that come to the shows

The midwest will be getting numbers on Aug 5, don't think there will be any South DCA numbers till the end of Aug

But how many of the judges on this panel will realistically be on one of the Rochester panels? They clearly sent a message that Buccs are pretty untouchable.
Wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few. That being said, right now the Buccs are untouchable, who knows in 6 weeks
-
AS we all know, until it's all in the same arena,it's numbers on a page. I will put this out there though, DCA may be "must see TV" this season. Some really cool shows out there that will be hell come Aug

It is a little silly to start the season off like this. All that time committed to learning the show in the winter, the drill in the spring and when you go out for the 1st show it's an exhibition.
The only difference is no scores, the corps are getting the same feedback from the judging community that they would get had there been scores and placements. I don't see what the big deal is

Hey Fran
Was great seeing you on Saturday. the one thing I will say is that DCA could be "must see TV", so to speak this season. Some cool things going on and the competition may be tighter than ever.

Cool looking unis

Sky made some good strides last year and put on an excellent exhibition at finals, good to see

Looks like the full recaps were just delayed, not withheld. Here's the Bayonne recap and the Woodbridge recap.
Those are the summary results everyone has been talking about, actual full recaps were provided to the corps at the show

how can a group be young, but yet mostly adults? what classifies as young? under 18? under 22?
Younger than most of DCA was at the time, I guess you never heard the term "young adult"
-
When Bushwackers won their first titles in DCA, and for several years following, I remember their average age was somewhere like 19-20...and they certainly didn't have the market cornered on that age group by any means. Seeing that a large number of performers use DCA as a "stepping stone" to prepare them to march in DCI corps, it shouldn't be surprising at all. Look under the unis when you watch DCA corps next season. While I personally don't agree with a hard and fast "rule" within a corps limiting the maximum age, as C. Holland said it's their group, it's not against the present rules so they can run it as they desire.
Wrong, while the overall age group was somewhat younger, most of the corps was adults, I'd say mid 20's to late avg might be more like it. And yes I was there

So you like to drum and it's been a while since you were part of a drumcorps, band or any type of music ensemble. You're looking for a place to perform great music in a friendly atmosphere and a limited schedule. The St Rita's Brassmen Alumni corps is looking for you.
We're interested in percussionists of all genres, including drumset and keyboards as well as obviously marching percussion. We utliize a diversified approach to percussion so, all are welcome, no matter what your music background is.
The corps is looking to expand for 2016 and is planning a great program that will continue to give our audiences the quality performances that they have come to expect from the St Rita's Brassmen Alumni, so brass and color guard are also more than welcome.
You can contact me regarding percussion at my e-mail address (idrum52@yahoo.com) or on Facebook for further information. Should you wish information regarding Brass and Guard, inquires can also be made and I will direct you to the proper people.

Oh, come on everybody, don't over-react. Crown's percussion is fine. I mean, why do they need to compete with the top battery lines? I mean, there are corps that would be thrilled to be in the top 6. Percussion is soo competitive. Crown even brought in new people this year and they have turned a corner in percussion, haven't they? With the new people the percussion has brought in, no one should expect a turn around in the section for three years or so. Consequently, no one should be concerned in the least, right?
I love Crowns percussion this year, however, when you're talking scant tenths of a point making the difference between 1st and 4th place, being out of the top 3 is dangerous territory
-
However, if I'm not mistaken for DCA purposes that 70.55 score holds up
-
Why would you take a show if you know in advance a large number of members couldn't make it

This has been a strange year with the weather playing a big part, prelims should be a great show
