  1. This is a joke, right?

    Not a joke. He actually said it. I don't know enough about the man to know whether or not he was putting it out there under an intentionally false name or if he was being genuine. But, he did say it. Here, I will screen record the video and post it.

    The video isn't public so you have to go from this link. Also, he does mention it again later in the periscope, doesn't share anymore information, just repeats the same thing.

  2. I'd have to agree with many on BD 2012. The Dada show. Seeing it in the movie theater, I hated it. Absolutely abhorred it. Now, I wish I could have seen it live.

    ^ Never liked 2013.

    I started following the activity in 1997, and I was completely addicted to it. 2006, I got married, had a career change, and somehow just stopped following closely. You could say I took a break from DCI but didn't really know why, it just happened. 2013 was my first year back at a show and coming around here frequently.

    Now, I told you that to tell you this. At the time, there was a tremendous sentiment here and around the DCI community in general about Crown having been robbed the year before and how the BD show was this or that or other things. So I never saw the Dada show until last year on the Fan Network archives (I really hope this feature comes back) and for me, I have come to enjoy that show quite a bit. Not my favorite, not even close, but enjoy it yes.

    BD 2013, not a chance. I've tried over and over. I. Just. Can't.

  3. Are there ANY cities where a new football stadium was built and the old one was left standing?

    I think that's a pretty cool-looking stadium. I wouldn't mind seeing a drum corps show in there.

    I believe Detroit did. Ford Field is where the Lions play but the old Pontiac Silverdome is still standing. Albiet the roof collapsed a few years ago if I recall.

  4. I'll try my best to stick around.

    I am remaining hopeful that the organization will build on this year (hell THEY TOOK BRASS!!!!) and come out with something even more spectacular. Couldn't be anymore prouder of them this season regardless of the placement.

    And they were close to winning other captions! Lots of positive momentum this year for sure.

  5. Guess that's not TOO bad (sans the guard, and they probably could use as many vets as possible given their placement this season). Hopefully next year will be another great offering and no cheese as some are predicting.

    I hope so. This year brought me back as a Cadets fan, been years since I was really drawn in by a Cadets show.

    Stick around for the off season, place ain't the same without you.

  6. You're like the umpteenth person who has made that false statement and time and time again this season, it's been stated that is NOT The Cadets' intention. The post directly above yours has the link that states the intent of the show.

    But at least we have over 500 pages for someone to dig through. :)

  7. My better half is originally from Cincinnati so we take the opportunity to go back there as well. Fly into Indy on Thursday early afternoon, grab some lunch at Skyline Chili (Cincinnati style chili, very much a regional thing. And not everyone's cup of tea but if you've never tried it. Might be worth a shot!) And then I head to the lot. Spend the late afternoon and evening watching everyone's lot.

    Do a breakfast at Maxine's Chicken and Waffles and then hit up Semis and Finals. On Sunday we head out to Cincinnati ( just over an hour drive) and go to Kings Island amusement park......we have garbage for thrill rides in Colorado so this is more than worth it if you're into this type of fun.

    Fly home Monday.

    Also echo others comments about St Elmo, excellent place.

  8. I am both shocked and not surprised by this. I thought Bluecoats had the show to win, but I also think Crown's show is pretty spectacular regardless of some of the design complaints they've been getting.

    Agreed. Crown's show is just dripping with goodness and then the odd transition immediately into completely triumphant Ode to Joy just makes me facepalm. I still love that show though, just wish there was a more eased transition.... It's just too.....bouncy, I think is the word someone used.

    On another note, this new color palate from Cadets has me very excited.
