I’ve been going since 2000. Love the show. Only negatives are that it’s usually hot and the band kids are oblivious to their surroundings.
May miss this year as I’m probably going to Orlando for the City vs Barca friendly.

I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose this or not, but it's too shocking to keep quiet.
No one is hiring me to be on their staff.
There, I said it.
And the world breathed a collective sigh of relief…

It’s that time of year again for this post.
I know we won’t know any changes until September but what would you like to see happen?
I’ll start….
- Troopers need to find a top notch guard designer
- Madison needs to have a big design rethink
- Blue Stars need to think carefully about lessons learned in 2023 but I hope they keep all staff
-I really hope Cadets hang onto all their design staff- they are on to something with this years design (just ramp it all up for 2024!)
- and of course I hope Vanguard make it out with all their drain staff
Your thoughts?
Vanguard may be in enough legal trouble to never return.

DCI just signed a deal to keep championships in Indy thru 2033...and no way Nashville could guarantee the same suuuuuper low rental rate DCI pays for using LOS.
Who wants to go to Indianapolis every year?

How about we just move it here in a couple years? Music City seems fitting.

Never.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of DCI, the unsung hero’s/heroines. Do what you can, if you can. Sure, it’s a challenge but not nearly what the MMs are going through.
Has the corps reached their destination in MA yet? Never marched Lawrence, but have memories of “Lynn,Lynn, the City of Sin” I’m sure it has changed by now. But BITD Manning Bowl was not a destination show. The crowd was an interesting mix of drum corps fans and local miscreants.
Some of us can’t anymore. lol

Just watched Atlanta and it reminded me how much you’re missing not seeing it live like we did last night. Nothing compares. I hate showing friends a video and saying, “This is nothing like it is is live.” They’re always, like, yeah, right.
Yeah there is…not sweating to death like I did at MTSU. Lol

Only thing I’ll agree with is how incestuous DCI is. Too many of the designers from the top hs bands designing top corps. Be nice to see some new ideas from new people.

the grumpy old man rants continue…
Felt like SCV. good energy. Visuals are too compact. Guard’s gonna hold them back.

Saw Cadets walking to the stadium in what I thought were warmups. WTH
CC: clean but sterile

Alrighty…10 mins away. Let’s go roast in the convection oven. 88 deg now and down to 81 later.

My dear neighbor, PRomoter, and I live 30-35 mins from campus but I decided to go out of town for a bit. Just getting into Nashville and I-24 is backed up south of town to the Boro. Should’ve known better.

Traffic is haute garbage. Will probably miss the first two. P

Thank you. If memory serves me correct, the recently retired band director at Siegel is also a 1990 PR alum.
And the current is a TTU grad! lol

Well, I guess I’ll go. This year’s shows have caught my attention. See ya in the club level.

Don't think so. Boston's White Whale has the potential to knock off BD at finals. The show needs the right tweaking to get it to an incredible experience by Indy. Wouldn't count them out yet.
Not happening. Undefeated.
