I feel the same way on that! The three corps that I would pay to see now are Bluecoats, Madison & SCV.

But do you think that Madison's historical identity is too "in your face" for today's type of drum corps activity?

Totally agree!

I have to agree with henry7184 that Madison does have the content.

Thank you for that observation. I appreciate your honest feedback.

I may be looking through green colored glasses but from what I saw from last night, I think at this point the biggest issue with Madison is they just need to clean, clean, clean. The show has plenty of visual and musical demand to be in the top seven at least in my opinion for what it's worth, and I have been around this activity since 1978. I wouldn't count them out just yet.

On a positive note, I really like the changes/tweaks musically and visually that the staff has made so far since the Stanford show! Keep it coming.

Any suggestions on how to correct this to the Scout's percussion staff or administration? Why not shot them an email? The season is still young. Maybe with your added expertise they can get that percussion score raised significantly by at least Allentown.

Interesting comparison with Scout fans to Cub fans. Hmmmm.

He must be a Blue Star Alum?

.2 is a killing? Really?

This just what, July 15th, right?

Wow chilly!

I think it is a possibility.

What if Blue Stars don't by the end of the year? How will you feel?

I have been seeing people on other show threads making comments about how Madison's show is disjointed, the horns are not that loud, the drums are filthy and dirty, the ending doesn't work, etc. I said this before. Especially if you are alumni, I would think that we should please refrain from negative comments about any corps for that matter on public social media. Even if these observations are true, do you not think that the staff is aware of it and has a plan in place to get it corrected? If not, have you not thought about personally contacting Scout's Administration to discuss the matters with your suggestions? Who knows you could be the next Zingali, Fred Sanford or Jim Ott in the making?

But this monster was created years ago and no one did anything about it.

I am relieved too! This is the first time that they've really had some good practice time too I think.

72.85 Scouts!!! Good number for being back in the Midwest the first time this year. Keep it moving!!!

Its amazing how Cavies jumped from 9th place last year to competing for possible top 5 this year. My hat's off to them.
