A Great Article on The Cadets
Brian Tuma replied to Terri Schehr's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
People either never knew or chose to forget Blue Stars were a DIII/A60 powerhouse. -
This should ultimately result in growing their programming. The Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra undertook a similar study 20ish years ago. Since doing so they have purchased their own facilities (it’s yuge!), increased their donor base exponentially, grown their programming to SEVEN! orchestras. Kids have access to programs as diverse as bucket drumming to an internationally touring orchestra and everything in between. https://myso.org/programs/

I think it was made of wood. It had a “hey kids, let’s put on a show” quality to it. -

I was attacked on here by a couple people for criticizing that prop’s integrity. I think I called it overbuilt yet surprisingly unsafe. It’s good to hear Jim thought similar. I feel vindicated. -
2023 Blue Stars - High Cam Semifinals Video
Brian Tuma replied to kevingamin's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Talent wise, Blue Stars were not an 11th place corps. I hope the members are given a product that’s able to come together over the course of the season. -

Are you resurrecting all the old threads that reference bodhran players? 😂 -

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Ebenezer. -
Madison Scouts 2024 repertoire: “Unholy”
Brian Tuma replied to Swmstom1998's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It doesn’t look all that polished but that doesn’t bother me. You know darn well the Madison critics would complain about money spent frivolously if it were a slick, professional looking video production. Good on Madison for practicing thrift! -

Has SCV at anytime in the last month released a statement simply saying “We are performing an independent audit”? Is that too much to expect? -

Brian Tuma replied to Swmstom1998's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Then they would have titled the show “Good Riddance” -

It drives me up a wall that the cheese heads are the color of cheddar yet have holes like Swiss. Make it make sense! Maybe they should also have the aroma of Limburger? -

I should try to dig up my post from a decade ago addressing that exact topic with my local corps lol. Hint - my location rhymes with Milwaukee -
Multiple Corps Auditions “Urban Legend”?
Brian Tuma replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
So you ended up not marching at all? Ever? I guess you showed them! -

No, none whatsoever! My only past time is living vicariously through my fellow nerds on dcp -

I’m thinking Anaheim Kingsmen, VK or Freelancers -

If I read another bio with “so and so comes to us with a wealth of experience” I may just lose it -
Multiple Corps Auditions “Urban Legend”?
Brian Tuma replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
If you’re chasing a ring wouldn’t you limit your auditioning process to one corps? 😈 -

The "Music Corps Should Do" thread
Brian Tuma replied to Lance's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I would love to see a corps do a Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand inspired show . This is a jaunty tune with some fun riffs. The solfège section brings back music theory trauma but I can overlook it lol https://youtu.be/0S8_x-qOCBI?si=cWPiISfTH6eGplZN
