I would bet an even larger amount of money that the Blue Coats will have no one to audition. Now, the Bluecoats, may.

Who are these "Blue Coats"? Never heard of them.

This is winning for the Bluecoats. And the audience knew it.

Still is August.

A good guess would be brass.

Thank you for closing this topic. or at least getting rid of the offending postings.

You may know more than I, but I think both Kevin and Ike think of themselves as percussionists and I still think that qualifies as music and their titles seem to indicate they are on the music side. But again, you may know more than I.

1. Blue Devils. Scott Chandler, visual guy VISUAL 2. Bluecoats. Dean Westman, music guy MUSIC 3. Santa Clara Vanguard. Scott Koter, music guy (though I'd suspect the most influential voice on the design staff is Michael Gaines, visual guy) MUSIC 4. Carolina Crown. Rick Subel, visual guy VISUAL 5. Cavaliers. David McGrath, music guy MUSIC 6. Boston Crusaders. Keith Potter, visual guy VISUAL 7. Blue Knights. Kevin Shah, music guy (though indoor percussion guy) MUSIC 8. Blue Stars. Michael Shapiro, visual guy VISUAL 9. The Cadets. Darcie Aungst, visual person VISUAL 10. Mandarins. Ike Jackson, music guy (though indoor percussion guy) MUSIC 11. Crossmen. Ed Devlin, visual guy VISUAL 12. Phantom Regiment. Will Pitts, music guy MUSIC I Still count 6 & 6. now you suspect one of the MUSIC is really VISUAL, but the only way you get to 9 & 3 is counting KEVIN and IKE as visual. Do you "suspect" all indoor percussion guys?

Just a note on the meals. The corps usually feed staff and volunteers as well. So the calculations should be closer to 200 mouths to feed.

I'll predict that you will see little, if any, changes at Bluecoats.

And MLS is not even major league in the Soccer (Football) arena, are they? Or, are we only looking at North America here?

Didn't BD, SVC and Cadets have 1 company taking over the Souvie business this year? (I could be wrong here.) And if I am right, their combined Booth was dwarfed by the one for the Bluecoats.

I, for one, would have enjoyed a show on the empowerment of women last season based on "Babs" music more than what was presented by either Cadets, or PR. (But not Crossmen.)

While not wanting to open a can of worms, but I think you (we) can look at Bluecoats 2014, 2015 and 2016 as changing how the DCI activities looked at the USE of Props and the USE of electronics.
