    Hello Everyone.  My name is Mike Ryan and I am on the Admin Staff of the Vanguard and I also assist DCI with the task of securing housing sites for DCI East (Allentown)  We are in DESPERATE need of a 2 day housing site for GENESIS, OREGON CRUSADERS, and THE CADETS.

    Arrival would be early AM on Friday August 3 and depart late afternoon on Saturday August 4.  Each corps carries insurance and will add the host school district as an additional insured and DCI will pay a stipend to the host school district.

    If you know anyone who would be interested in helping us out or need more information they may contact me by email at:

    mryan@scvanguard.org or call me at 570-294-1638.

    Please get the word out and thank you all for your help and your support of Drum Corps!

    Please bump this post so it stays visible.  Many thanks!

    Just not a fan of the top 7 right now. SCV is ok I guess, and the back half of Bloo has a lot of energy, but otherwise music and design-wise I’m just not engaged.

     

    It’s entirely the fault of the designers too. There’s no denying the talent and hard work of the members. But, meh.

    So you were being SERIOUS with this post? Oye! It makes me sad as you aren’t getting or are connected to a particularly STELLAR year of DCI.

    Agree, this one aspect of total participation Bloo has us covered. I don't think that puts them on top they have their own issues to work on, not picking a winner. Question is how much does total participation add to visual and general affect, if at all? 

    Yep, a toughie, seen those snores all over the place depending on who is on the field.

    I wish the entire top 16 could win. At one time we would not ware any corps atire, didn't want to be targeted as favoring one Corps over another. Different today bought us tour shirts in Olathe to ware on Thurday and will buy others for Friday & Saturday.

    I am particullary challenged in understanding GE. Have the MM's been left behind in this caption seems it's all the Glitz & Glitter that matters.

    If I was a MM today why would I want to appear as an airport baggege handler or furinture mover? 

    Why not be in the Bluecoats where each & every MM is experiencing 100% face time with the audience the entire 11 or so minutes? The more I see of some shows more of the down time is noticed setting up for the next set. Not so with the Bluecoats your imminently transcended from the football field to any other venue or nightclub you could imanage. Props are handled within the set allowing the MM's full participation in the show while seamlessly being in place for the next act . Then you look again and the props are back where they started and then shuffled again, brilliant. 

    Will we see a thread soon that certain shows need their MMs in the Stadiums Labor Union? 

    I see wht yiu’re Saying and they hit the right mood, but I still wish they moved more like Crown, BD, Cavies or SCV, instead of the consistent face time.

    I'm not sure if this will be available for the DCI event, but for Atlanta United soccer games there is a table near the Vine City entrance (Gate 1) where you can sign up as a designated driver. If you pledge to not drink alcohol they will give you a cup for unlimited free sodas.

    Wow, pretty heads up promotion on responsibility there!

     Maybe pump the brakes a little on" the no hats " thing  ? ..... lol!!.  BD won it all last season and wore  " hats " in much of their show. Were they " hatless " ? BD is a few tenths in back of SCV at the moment... " with hats "... Bluecoats have " hats "... Crown have " hats ". Cavaliers have " hats ". Some Corps not in the top 12  however and with placement slippage have " no hats "'.   Whoever wins DCI will do so for a myriad of reasons. But what they have or don't have planted on their heads won't mean much at all to winning the Title, nor losing the Title... lol!.

    Just meant that it was a bit different...not that it couldn't be done with hats. sheesh, way too literal. The comment was made that scv took off the gloves, and I added the hats too. Just breathe; BD is great, Bloo is great, Cavies are great and so are others, and headgear doesn't make a difference.
