I believe they said 76 at the DCI West BBQ. If not, it’s definitely in the high 70s.

On all corps so far it seems. So it must be a Flo thing. -

Go Mandarins!!! -
It’s always a bit cringey to me when a corps’ thread gets commandeered by conversations about another corp.

The first rule of Blue Smoke Society is you don’t talk about Blue Smoke Society.

Oh, there’s definitely already a fart doing some crying.

Just go to the anime and JJBA reddit threads and you see a bunch of people who don’t know DCI want to see a drum corps show because of BD these past couple of years. I think that’s awesome!

DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SEMIFINALS
Rylan replied to Cainan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
He pronounces Sinnerman like how my dad pronounces Spiderman - like a last name instead of a someone who is part spider and part man. Also, the Mandarins merch booth needs to start selling “Sinnerman Rolls” with extra “sinnamon”. -
You got it, Chief 🫡 If my little 8-year-old self had known that this blue “marching band” on PBS was going to be the focus of a lot of bitterness in this activity, I’d have chosen a different corps to get obsessed about. But the heart wants what the heart wants. 💙

I have no further details aside from what we were told at the BBQ. But being that camp is in Wyoming, I’m not sure what moving to California would accomplish for the MM unless they were already planning to do so for other reasons. Also, I would assume that there would be a preference for their state of origin in stats. For example, and also anecdotally, I know one marching member in particular who moved to CA for college but still reps Texas in their bio.

This desire to want to learn more about the theme, I believe, is the reason why BD and many other corps pick show themes that may seem too abstract at first but in reality it’s just a subject matter we don’t know about yet.

We discussed some stats previously in the BD thread that I think might be helpful. At the DCI West picnic, BD said that out of 183 members (including alternates): about 100 of their members are from California, with the rest being from 26 other states, and 3 international (Japan, UK, and Netherlands).
