top zozzle. I love drum corps but headlines like these really put our cookies and milk operation into perspective.

Oh well I'd sure love it. But what song(s)? "Motherboard" could be nice if featured briefly, during a transitional moment. Perhaps "Aerodynamic" during a percussion feature.

Can anyone think of some contemporary pop that would be cool for a corps to do? I keep thinking about how fresh "one eyed sailor" must have been back in '76 for BD. Any ideas?

I never quite appreciated Turandot in its time but that was a great year for regiment. Medaled with a really classic, classy, and clean show. They made a big splash this past season. Maybe something refined could move them forward.

2 as a (spectating) nonfinalist, 2 as performing finalist, 2 as a pure (tickets bought) spectator.

Lore... just put it in the **** show!!

Someone said they heard it as early as '82. What a legend.

The absolute madman. Bravo!

Aaaaand there it is. No.

This raises the eternal question: where does it end? Undoubtedly folks can - and will - make cases for why all instrumentation should be allowed. There will be excuses about it being "for the kids" and "about the experience", and yadda yadda. For the "survival of the activity". To even acknowledge that there may in fact be a line, would be to admit all of the changes made over the years have possibly crossed it, and could, or should, be rolled back. I don't know if pandora's box can be closed at this point. When the arguments delve fully into the ideological, and not the practical, anything goes. And get off my lawn!!

Would it be possible for a corps to go full acoustic and still be competitive?

Are there any criticisms you would consider fair and not the product of generational salt?

I have no doubt they will field a great corps, it's their competition I worry about. I feel a lot of growth coming from the midwest. But I never was one to play the stock market 😅

What's the problem? Well-reasoned, informed, respectful.

If SCV returns it needs a bottle dance, people would lose their minds On a related note, sad as it may be that they will likely not return for '24 I am RELIEVED there will at least be no chance of Schethr3rezade happening.

To be clear I'm not expecting a precipitous dropoff, but a slow regression

I'm selling Phantom stock: I bought a bunch last year. Buying Bluecoats stock. Buying Cadets stock. Selling Mandarins stock. Holding PC stock.

Not sure if this counts but me and my buddy mused about how SCV only needed gaines and the championship was theirs. This was around the time when Fiedler took over (2009/2010) Obviously we all know the rest.

Same. It's unbelievable. So much history at our command. I don't know how kids even learn about stuff these days 😕

Remember TheFanNetwork? Pepperidge Farms remembers..

*note to self..* Buy KFC stock 🤪

I'm buying Cavaliers stock because I liked their hats.

It's looking that way. They're a great group.

Lol, not the point. Hello?

Prospective talent seems like the more compelling argument. If you were a talented marcher in CA prior to this season you had one less corps to choose from. PC and Mandarins had historically great seasons 🤷‍♂️
