i hope this actually comes out sometime soon, im really looking forward to eventually seeing it, assuming that'll be a possibility at some point. i was really looking forward to it at first....forgot about it for a while, but i'm glad definitive progress seems to be being made. what i want to know is in which forms of media it will be available. i think that's a topic that'll make a big difference with people reading about it on dcp as well.

bd '97, who could have beat them? cadets were trying to pull off one of the hardest shows ever, and they were competing against one of the cleanest drum corps of all time. well done, but sorry, guys. definitely cadets in 05, bd in 86, and bd in '94, i agree with those.

this post is a good example of why i no longer really enjoy dcp.

2001. '99 cavaliers, DUT DUT DUT DUT dont forget magic 04, everyone screaming the "yo ho" song.....in between the phrases, a trumpet player yells "I'M A PIRATE" the first time and "THIS IS G.E." the second time, in response to abnormally low G.E. scores at the hornell, NY show. bluecoats '06 at the beginning of the tihai (jazz piece), two snares individually yell stuff backfield.....its semi-intelligible. along the lines of "BRRRRRR(rolled r)RRUH!!" "BRRRRRUHHHHEEEOUHHHHH!" guess that sort of counts. bluecoats '02, "TAXI" and all sorts of other "city" like stuff throughout the back half of the show. spirit '04, basically a bunch of stuff like bluecoats '02. "GET OUTTA MY WAY," "EXTRA EXTRA, etc." i liked the singing at the end of bluecoats 96 a lot.

i pretty much hate most BOA bands, so uhhh......yeah

no, the m word

what you guys said (most recently, at least)

a few people have said "the word" in this thread, therefore they're doomed for next season.

he was cadets brass caption head in 1995, the year they won horns (i think they've only done so 4 times.....somewhere around there) i think his personality has changed a lot since his time with the cavaliers.....apparently he was a lot more intense and hard on the members there than he was with the bluecoats. he was the biggest influence/factor in the connexus show; more so than in 07 and 08, i believe (those had more of mike macintosh's influence). he's definitely a great pickup for the cavaliers. i have a ton of respect for the man. i think his daughter is the 5th element by the way.

hm.....interesting point

me too, thats what i was going to say

the tuba tech sings bass with a professional ensemble in the cleveland area; the hornline has prioritized singing more and more since.....'06 or so. he posts on here reasonably often actually, though i won't reveal his alias.

phantom is certainly not the hornline typically associated with "playing in tune," just saying. i've liked their brasslines lately but as at least one example, i re-watched phantom '03 recently for the first time in a while and was shocked by how much control was sacrificed in the name of "emotional brass performance." why would someone whos never marched a step of drum corps in his life ask someone with like 5 years of experience if he knows what drum corps is? what a joke.

a lot of people like....ummmm...."do stuff" during your suggested tour months. are we (members) getting paid to take part in this new version of drum corps?

an all schoenberg show?

he peeled and ate a banana once he got to the upper deck, if i remember correctly.....while the corps was still holding that ice castles chord.

dvd wasnt very good at all, but worth it simply for the value of the standstill recordings of all the corps. some great hornlines that year. bd's lead trumpets that year were from another planet.

for what it's worth, ill just use this thread to mention that a good number of my (somewhat curious) friends decided not to go with me to the 4 dci events i attended this year because the ticket prices at the shows were too high.

the top box/composition/what the corps is trying to do.........none of that = 'degree of difficulty.' maybe degree of difficulty factors into that score once the other elements of the show's design are calculated, but you're interpreting it incorrectly.

h dub

awwwwwwwww HELLLLL NAWWW! (boston 07, in the horn arc, to a poorly-chosen question asked to another member of the horn staff. frank was apparently laying on his back with a hat over his face until he was startled from his state of peace)

VIV RULES

'92 scouts is one of my favorite shows....the last few minutes are AMAZING and clearly did a great job of drawing the crowd in (standing ovation at the brass re-entry after the percussion feature). great drill for the time, too.

your post made me happy. the last paragraph especially rang true.

every time 84bdsop brings up the 1984 dci world championships results, i'm not posting on dcp for a few weeks.
