I have 5 tickets for Cranston July 3. Wanting what I paid $35 each or $125 for all 5.

There are a large number of students who are fans in West Texas who wont consider trying out at all. As a subset, they probably represent a fair share of the same age group across the country.

Never dreamed that my son starting piano at age 5 to middle school band to high school band would lead to this. Last year being a first year DCI parent was a whirlwind. Taking time the 2nd time around to enjoy the moment more. I am so amazed at the talent from the bottom open class corps to the top world class corps. Then it hits me....my son is in this thing too! Totally blown away and totally amazed at what my kid learned away from the shows. Its a total experience.

I paid $100 for the full package last year

The 2017 show is shaping up to be spectacular. Can't wait to see the drill with the music.

Totally awesome!!#Texasbornandbred

Anytime the human element determines the outcome of an event, there will always be a disagreement. I think what the OP maybe hitting at is the lack of civility that has developed across the spectrum. Face to face interaction tends to temper people's reactions while social media frees people's vitriol. The ones to respect are those who feel a personal responsibility to respect those who they disagree with.

So, as DCI continues, would corps be better off writing/developing their own music? Or, is the competitive value of using copyrighted music to much to overcome? Boiled down, does the copyright issue only effect the fans who want to watch shows in perpetuity?

I can confirm as well. I was there too.

Our biggest concern for our MM. He was good last summer wearing a tshirt and sunscreen. But the unspoken peer pressure to fit in is tough.

MikeN and WaxDCIfan, it was good to see both of you. I really enjoyed the weekend. I cant wait for this years tour and the years to come.

I will be there helping as well!!

OC will always be dominated BDB and SCVB. Winning oc has never been required nor should it be. Genesis has competed well against several WC corps. The difference becomes from the resources available as a WC corp vs the lack of resources in OC. Crown is a great example of a corp moving up and forward. Its sad you automatically deem Genesis as mediocre.

They have paid and toured a full schedule for several years now. Their tour last year was longer than a couple of the WC corps.

Wow oh wow! Looks like Genesis makes the jump to World Class!! So excited for those students!

For sale: 1 used scarf...available after jury trial for murder of 2-3 people depending on the night. 1 - oc- genesis

It was a huge parking lot. Plenty of space for other corps to maneuver. He's a security guard. He has no legal grounds to use force to instill his will. No badge. No oath. No anything. As soon as he crossed the line, he was wrong period. If he felt threatened, radio one of the 50 policemen on site. His demeanor showed he thought more of his position than the job description allowed.

Thanks for the help.

How can I get them from you?

Anybody have access to 2 decent seats for Saturday night?

In our seats...Ready with nervous anticipation for the evening!

Thanks for the help!

How are you rewinding? It won't let us go back on the ipad.

Genesis is in Dubuque.
