  1. I haven't watched as closely as you have, no doubt, from what little I have seen they're both beastly this year and that has me very excited! I did make a prediction that BD may very well pass them in overall score tonight. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to the results from this show, great lineup and good to have BK lined up with the larger group of West Coast competition finally!
  2. Got to see ensemble and run through tonight. Wow.....this show is COOKING! Lots of potential and opportunity for adjusting but as far as early season goes, I can't remember being this excited for a Crown show in several years. Jeff's drill writing is outstanding and it feels almost like quintessential Sacktig at first viewing. Can't wait to see what everyone else brings to the field this year, but I feel like this show will end up getting massive standing Os. That closer just oozes energy and swagger. Love it!
  3. I'm curious about this as well. I'll be on the way back to the area from Flint around 5:30, hoping to catch ensemble this evening. Edit: Their schedule posted on FB says Warmup at 7 with Ensemble scheduled to start at 7:30!
  4. Thank you! That's the same spot as last year, yeah?
  5. Does anyone know where the corps housing site will be while in Detroit? This show coincides with a board meeting for me every year so I will be in the area. Stopped by for a run through last year on the Wednesday night before the premier show, would love to do so again!
  6. Go solo for sure, unless you have a friend that might enjoy it as much as you! Though it is nice having an extra set of hands for all the merch you wanna buy. :)
  7. You absolutely need to make it! For all the bashing people do of DCI hosting finals there (quite a bit of which is earned) it's still an absolute blast to experience. I too went through a drought of attending finals (about 10 years, also known as first marriage) and ever since I've been going back starting in 2013 I haven't once been disappointed. Hope to see you there next year!
  8. Hi are these tickets sold yet? I'd be interested in buying all four of them.
  9. If you haven't sold these I'd be interested in all four. Looks like a few have already expressed interest but let me know please!
  10. We're on page 459. Preview show is tonight. Think it'll hit 500 first??? I'm super excited, tonight will be so awesome I might have to just go back to sleep so I can wake up and just head to the theater. Lmao.
  11. We have more than drum corps in common then. Lol.
  12. I'm considering taking that day off this year. Last year, I was so amped all day with anticipation for the theater show that I was totally worthless at work....lol.
  13. This. You and I share an opinion on this topic completely. It's like seeing the dessert menu at a restaurant and deciding not to order something because you just know there's no way that peice of pie can be as good as the ones Grandma used to make.
  14. Guess I'll stop in and give my annual "Super pumped for this show" post of enthusiasm. =) I don't post much, but man, this one does have me excited. Hoping to see another super competitive year!
  15. This connection you speak of..... It's referred to as "the force". It's strong in you, I sensed an awakening..... :) lol
  16. Sunny and 60 today in Denver. :) I do feel for you guys though. Be safe!
  17. I'm pumped for 2016. This show has a lot of potential for story lines to develop while at the same time holding to (hopefully so) the super talent level of execution for the spectacular Brass line performance from 2015 (Ott winner) and Percussion line (didn't with the Sanford but was darn close, some say should've won). While I loved 2015 from a difficulty perspective, it certainly lacked in the story line cohesion perspective (at least in regards to what is rewarded in the GE department these days). The early going of this show seems that strides were made in addressing that area. That said, 2015's top 5 was the most enjoyable group of corps I've witnessed in a very long time. Regardless of how shows placed, there were smiles from ear to ear in my group of spectators. I'm hoping we see as compelling (if not more so) this year. Looking forward to what all this year holds from all corps!
  18. Well, there's a minor detail. Safe travels all and good luck!
  19. Cmon. 99 pages.....can we get to 100 before Christmas day????
  20. I have nothing to add to this debate about the name. But I will say that yet again, the Cadets have helped fill the void of the off season for us as fans, alums, prospective members etc. Both by way of naming convention discussion and perhaps not discussed enough is the repeated openess of the program and us even having the opportunity to b!t@h and moan about something. Just thankful to see and hear drum crops......its a long 7 months or so in front of us!
