"Die-nasty" Worst-sounding drums ever. I can't wait to hear SCV on anything else again.
IMO
That’s what I used to call the Die Nasty mello I played in the early ‘00’s. Thank God for Paul Collins. He worked on that horn quite a few times. Great guy. He’ll be missed.
When I bought a mello, I got a Yamaha. Great horn.

Good gawd MagnoliaFan25 and the N00bBuilder aren't playing. They are as relentless as my Pitbull working to get a treat.
They’re like a dog on the mailman’s ###.

And then there was the time when a seat jumper sitting in my seat demanded to see my ticket before he'd show me his. Ha! Mine was hanging around my neck. It was fun.
That happened by us in 2017. I couldn’t believe my ears.

first off, a corps can't just jump from DCI to DCA. Both organizations have rules in place about that, and hell Pio Indoor percussion changed their name to separate from the mess. Also, using their own busses for any trips is stupid as ####. Those things should never roll again
The Roman issue is complicated, though he needs to go. The problem is how it needs to happen. the guy has mortgaged his house to help the corps and lord knows the corporation probably owes him money. He'd have to be bought out.
The board member on there seems to think they can just come over to DCA in 2019. It’s further down in the subreddit.

good. Wish they had taken that stand several years ago when the issue was raised the first time
It was easier to threaten people and send fake cease and desist letters instead.

We're in Sec 240, the box level where Rondo and Crew stand, and this year, finally, we had a gate-guard with teeth. Despite her diminutive 5'2" frame, she successfully shooed away all seat-jumpers and, especially, staff members. We had a ball watching her calmly chewing her popcorn while shuffling people off using the kindness of a grandmother with a butcher knife.
Now that you mention it, I didn’t have to kick anyone out of my seat once this year. It was a FM.

My guess is that for a marching band like Tarpon Springs, a LOT of the show design and operating budget comes from fund-raising by parents/kids, not the public school budget.
There’s a band here in Illinois that the band boosters run an arts and craft fair that earns over $100k. Band is an entirely different head... lots of eager parents and fund raising.

It’s horrible. They will talk and eye roll through other band shows and then screech during “their” band. Not everyone but far too many
I don’t know about anywhere else but the Illinois band shows but when my kid was in band, the band parents would come in for their child’s group and leave immediately afterward. Some of them were fine but others were as annoying as you’ve described.

Definitely Dindi. I need to hear that again.

Speaking for my (OC) corps only, our props =
.33 hotel housing nights
2.5 *nice* catered meals
5 cheap bought meals
Now to be fair, our props were just a bunch of wooden columns.
Mike
And they were very effective.

Dang find myself agreeing with Garfield lol. To add to the above adding more of a cushion on the break even point of finances. Always see grumbling about the close of season “need $ now to be able to continue” emails and posts. Thinking new one of “electronics got caught in rain so need...”.
To add a little here....I’ve heard the powers-that-be complaining about the ever increasing yearly budgets but they never say this has to stop. They just keep complaining.

Think they could reserve one screens off to the side so if the show bores you, we can have like Sports Center or something going with CC on?
I’m gonna need a remote so I can flip over to the Cubs game.

Perhaps a drum corps could run ads on those screens to help pay for them.
Good way to add vocal narrative, too. "We'll be right back with the second half of our show, after this message from Microsoft."
Shhhhh

My question is: Did they enhance or did they distract? There may be a way for them to add value to a show but this wasn’t it. I think this is like the infancy of A&E ... a tentative first step but clumsy right now.
My opinion? I don’t think it added much.

All I was thinking, and I said this on my Facebook page, was how much did those cost?

The best teachers I have EVER SEEN are Middle School teachers.
Period.
Fact.
No credible argument can be made unless you are galactically ignorant.
I guess that’s how some judge quality teachers. What grade they teach. Stupid. Dazzlingly stupid.
I still have fond memories of my middle school band director, Archie McAllister Jr., lo these many years later. He nurtured many students over the years. And he loved drum corps!

No. But I met Jim in drum corps. 😀

My elementary/middle school band director was the finest music teacher I ever had, and it's not even close. I'm also willing to bet that he's a better brass player than 99.9% of the people teaching in the activity, most of them also by a wide margin. The idea that someone would automatically be unqualified to teach the Madison Scouts brass because they teach middle school band is one of the more laughably ridiculous things I've seen on this board.
I loved my middle school band director, too! He was a great fan of drum corps back when it wasn’t popular for a band director to be a fan. He’d play old Fleetwoods of Cabs, Sky, and Yankee Rebels for us. Our marching band played Espana Cani and Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White.
He arranged for Norwood Park to have camp at our school. I came and watched every day and joined the next September.
He changed my life. So never underestimate a middle school band director.

Did he make you one?
I’m sorry. I’ve been in or around drum corps for 50 years and that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
