In the event it's misting lightly (as it is right now in Bentonville)....what will the corps do? Still perform the full show? Play standstill w/o electronics? Cancel entirely?
Luckily we haven't dealt with weather conflicts yet, but I'm curious what the protocol is for spotty rainstorms.

Oh, and I never had any student loan debt. Received academic scholarship and worked full time; graduated with a 3.89 GPA. Take care. Back to DCI discussion. And God Speed to ya.
You mean you were responsible with your money? What a novel concept these days....
Those poor students who just had to incur 140k+ in loans to get their underwater-basket-weaving degree that hasn't produced a livable income!
If only there were a glut of nanny-staters promising forgiveness for these unavoidable situations!

They're coming to Bentonville, AR in a couple weeks, and we're excited to see them live. But....I haven't been able to find any clips online short of a shaky-cam closer snippet.
1. Has anyone heard the Young Person's ending live?
2. Does it leave you satisfied?

Ask yourself this. Why are so many working so hard to justify keeping young women out of the Cavaliers. It's not a big deal....their just women...they don't have cooties.
Because everyone's a victim these days.
Crown has a female-only brass feature this year....should the male victims, who were barred from this ensemble, cry foul?

I wasn't aware of this. Are you aware that the Cavaliers Drum an Bugle Corps continues to practice gender discrimination?
Hey, 1984 called....
Use of hackneyed newspeak. Unnecessarily divisive.
15 yard penalty. Repeat 3rd down.

Crossmen....you blew us all away. My entire section thought you should have passed Phantom tonight. Golly, what power!
-
I expected Crown's brass to carry the evening (and they did), but Crossmen....holy Crossmen.
There were at least three moments during their show when I found myself thinking....how powerful, surely this is the end?
And.
It.
Kept.
Going.
In a good way, of course. What a show, Crossmen. I was not expecting that.

Ugh, my Sister says it’s about to storm. She lives 15 min away from Bentonville. I hope it moves on through.

The latest forecast gives us a glimmer of hope!
Per Weather.com: "Expect occasional T-Storms to end at 6pm"

Looking forward to a great opening performance tonight in Bentonville! Go Guardians!

Last night I saw the thunderstorms forecast for ~7pm tonight, but that has since been removed....please, pretty please....no rain!

I'll see them in Bentonville tomorrow evening. So excited.
Same!! I'm bringing some buddies who have yet to witness the majesty of DCI live.
I hope Crown blows their hair back.

Pre-San Antonio, it's arranged based on previous year's placement, drawn in groups of three, and Music City is default first because they're new to World Class.
Ah, ok! Thanks.
-
I'm surprised Pioneer is scheduled to perform after Music City and Surf. Don't they, except for the event's host, arrange the World Class corps in ascending order based on score?
-
I'm a little confused with the performance order....is Academy going next-to-last because they're hosting, or something? I would expect BAC to be after them. Also,Surf after Atlanta?
-
We're going to agree to disagree. I've been lucky enough to see all 4 shows and no one executed like 2014. We can sit here and debate design and demand all day long as that is more subjective but execution is more cut and dry. That show though is still the only show I've seen where I was literally awestruck by their execution. But again, my opinion and we'll disagree on it
I understand that every show has its flaws, but BD's 2014 finals performance saw visible early step-offs, and even a quad player falling over. I don't remember miscues that obvious from Frameworks.

The Troopers's show in 2013 was a close second to Crown for me in terms of enjoyment. If it weren't for that killer brass line Crown wields every year....and that Abyss ballad....I'll never forget that resonance.
This lineup should be fantastic!

So Luke would not interpret the passage as being a smart idea to take medical advice from strangers on the internet,... and neither would you? Well... who originally quoted that particular verse within a thread which is contextually and specifically applied to a medical question concerning a Torn ACL?
No, your framing of it was improper, and you mischaracterized the point.
You must really be fun at parties.
-
Show us where I called the opinions expressed in this thread by you, or anybody else for that matter, worthless? You can't! All I stated was that as it applies to medical advice about a torn ligament, or any other serious injury, the OP should only follow the advice of his own doctor just like Cappybara stated so distinctly; and that it is extremely unwise for the OP to adhere to medical advice from strangers on the internet; and yep, that includes this site. That said, if you still believe that I am engaging in a 'personal attack on your opinions' instead of looking out for the best interest of the OP, well... who is actually showing signs of arrogance in that situation?
It is you, oh supercilious one. Let me run that back for you:
As it applies to your health, only follow the advice of your personal doctor and nobody else. Do not, at all, in no circumstance, follow the advice from anybody posting online about their own experience or providing their own opinion even if they claim to be a doctor, that includes this site.
Read: disregard out of hand.He asked, I gave some encouragement that's pretty uncontroversial: strengthen your base/core and eat healthy. -
It has nothing to do with arrogance, nor with me being foolish, and everything to do with liability and actually caring for the original poster. The personal physician treating the torn ACL is the one who should be giving medical advice to the original poster; not any of us here on this site. Why? Because the physician is the only one who knows the full extent of the injury and is the one who is most qualified to give out advice; and if the poster happened to follow the advice of someone here who does not actually know the full extent of the injury, and becomes debilitated for life due to following that advice, that would be a real travesty. As for your scripture quoting; you might want to check the context of Proverbs 15:22. I do not think that Luke, who was a Physician, would have interpreted that passage as, "Success in treatment for a medical issue is manifested from following medical advice provided by people that you do not know on the internet".
Of course Luke wouldn't interpret it that way, and neither would I. That's not a coherent application of that verse, Stu....that's a straw-man. The message is short and simple: don't rely on just one opinion, especially for important issues.
Let him judge for himself: is encouraging a strong core/base and healthy nutrition that far out of the mainstream? As a fitness enthusiast and former marcher, I feel I'm qualified to offer that.

Is anyone tracking the scores from tonight (DCI Kentucky)? I'm curious if Crown surges ahead with this performance.

How arrogant. So you are to disregard all others' opinions for the sake of ONE individual purporting to be an expert in all things health-wise? I cared enough about 'Aspiring Tuba/Trumpet Player' to offer as much detailed advice as I deemed appropriate based on my experience and knowledge base, and you say dismiss out-of-hand? How foolish. Here are some better options:
-Eat the meat, and spit out the bones: glean the best truths from each person's counsel, and disregard what you know to be false/counterproductive.
-Gather as much information as you can
-Seek as many opinions as you can: "Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed." - Proverbs 15:22

Just curious, 17 yo male, tried out for a drum corps for the 2016 season however never able to finish audition because I tore my right ACL skiing. After a long surgery I am still in the middle of recovery, I will be trying out for The Colts for their 2017 season, by audition time I will be 8 months post Op. And by the start of next season I will be 1 year. Just curious if anyone has ever tore/retore ACL while marching and what the likelihood of that would be ? Also if you've marched after you tore your ACL did you have any issues with the knee ?
-Thanks ! Aspiring Tuba/Trumpet player
P.S. I play trumpet for drum corps
First off....I feel for you, man. ACL tears are no picnic. Hope you recover quickly!
That said....I'd emphasize two things: core strength and diet.
Lower body injuries are often linked to an unstable core. If you read up on Steph Curry's nagging lower-body injuries, he got them because he relied more on his knees/ankles to change his momentum rather than his core and base muscles (glutes, abs, obliques). And what did his trainer suggest? Strengthening his core: deadlifts, leglifts, squats. There's nothing better for injury-resistance than good balance from a solid base. Though, if someone tackles you low and bends your knee the wrong way....good luck preventing that.
80+% of being healthy involves nutrition. I hit the gym at least 5/wk, but if I eat out every day, drink lots of pop, and neglect the good stuff (high-quality proteins, fibrous foods like fruits/vegetables/nuts, and fluoride-free water), it's all for nothing. It'd be better to eat healthy and not exercise. You would feel better in the 'long run'. But don't settle....get your heart rate up AND fuel your tank with what it needs.

Forgive me if this question has been asked already, but I'd rather no scroll through 600+ posts....
What is the deal with the Rammstein-esque guttural voice about 5 minutes in? Are there any discernible lyrics? It sounds demonic at worst, and grotesque at best. In no way would I give it a pass as mere artistic license/expression.
