I guess BOA doesn’t sponsor a summer band video camp

Looks like Flo got the Broken Arrow summer school AV class to work the cameras tonight

https://stadiumconnection.com/ok/stadium.php?id=2851 The stadium holds slightly under 12,000. I imagine no tickets are being sold for the backfield or end zones.

Just curious, is this the first time you've bought a ticket online to any kind of event?

Yep. Why else have the Kerouac narrator quote "On The Road" before the final push? "We gotta go and never stop going 'till we get there, man.'' Maybe to honor the DCI 50th Anniversary, perhaps some sort of "Vectors" drill ending in a Z-Pull?

I. Know. You.

I guess the show theme was inspired by a ####### Volvo commercial? (Voiceover is the same?)

The Cadets 2011 - Between Angels and Demons -- to be competitive these days..... BUT WHERE ARE THE BIG ### PROPS? WHY AREN'T THE MEMBERS RUNNING FROM THE LAST SET IN A SNAKE LINE TO THEIR NEW DOT? WHY NO SQUAT POSING? NO ONE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE TURF! AND, ONLY TWO COSTUMES?????

Metal bucket seats and blue turf

FYI The Cadets are skipping the DCI Southeastern Regional in Atlanta this season (so are Blue Knights, Crossmen, Colts, Pacific Crest, Troopers and Jersey Surf). Probably a better use of time to devote the day to rehearsal!

DCI should change its slogan from "Marching Music's Major League" to "Gymnastics and Brass" because it's no longer about precision drill. Just run from prop to prop to your dot! That's what the Bluecoats call innovation, baby!

noticing a number of holes in the brass -- COVID?

Yup. Score tonight was closer to Crossmen than BAC.

Is any of the alleged abuse physical? Or is this an account of verbally induced anxiety?

The show's "Rear View Mirror" theme is inspired by Jack Kerouac -- the "narration" is his prose

this doesn't reflect the open class scores from quincy, ma -- would put Spartans on top in open https://www.dci.org/scores/recap/2022-east-coast-classic

"Closer? We don't need no sticking closer!"

Marching uniforms with shakos and plumes!

I switched over to high cam and rewound. Much better!

7th Regiment is performing and they're moving -- so much for standstill?

I instantly recognized it from the 2019 Reading Buccaneers show (Dans Ma Chambre)

There will be a drum corps show in North Jersey this summer. The Hawthorne Caballeros are hosting a DCA show in Clifton on Saturday, July 9th. https://www.hawthornecaballeros.org/2022/05/08/grandprix2022/ Competing: Hawthorne Caballeros, Reading Buccaneers, Fusion Core, Princeton Bushwackers, Connecticut Hurricanes, Northeastern Ohio Rogues Hollow Regiment In Exhibition: Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni, New York Skyliners Alumni, Saints Brigade
