DCI World Champs Semi Finals - Aug 10, 2018
BostonLUck replied to DrumScorps's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
A rough run for Phantom, they sounded tired... or out of breath... intonation, articulation and dynamic issues throughout. We may see Mandarins make their move. -
I&E, should it be retired?
BostonLUck replied to BostonLUck's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
You know that's a very obvious answer, but a darn good one. I agree. Wonder if I&E could be moved to a different point in the season? But then again, the competitive nature of DCI almost demands every minute of the student's time. -

I don't disagree that members from 25 corps showed up; however, let's take a look at how that breaks down before we complete write-off what I was getting at: The "attending" corps / members: Blue Devils Oregon Crusaders Spartans Legends Blue Devils B Colts Seattle Cascades Raiders Pacific Crest Santa Clara Vanguard River City Rhythm Spirit of Atlanta (possible - but doubtful they'll jump Crossmen) Music City Pioneer Golden Empire Gold Golden Empire Louisiana Stars Troopers -

Oh, I don't disagree. I think all performers should be given a chance to perform, but unfortunately it's not always that simple: Do you think DCI would schedule a show with 3 corps? Or BOA with 3 bands ? How about WGI? I guess I'm just missing the old school I&E that was truly a representation of DCI's best - hundreds of participants, rowdy audiences - now THAT was a showcase! But heck if BD is paying for it... LOL. -

Ah, didn't realize BD was fronting the costs (which explains their heavy participation). -
World Championship Finals — Saturday, August 11 General Effect 1: Kyle Miller & Tim Ochran General Effect 2: Caleb Rothe & Richard Saucedo Visual Performance: Robert Solomon Visual Analysis: Jim Sturgeon Color Guard: Michael Turner Music Brass: Chester Phillips??? Music Analysis: Darrin Davis & Chris Romanowski Field Percussion: Allan Kristensen Chief Judge: John Phillips Does anyone else find this a bit odd? We've got Albert Lo on Prelims night, Paul McGarr (eh? equally odd) on Semis, but Chester Phillips on FINALS night? Now, don't get me wrong h

So, looking at the recaps it's obvious that the majority of the corps no longer invest time, or encourage, their students to participate. So should I&E be retired, and possibly those funds redirected to something that more of the corps will participate in? Thoughts?

Yep. Just a blank screen with a footer. -
What makes a good Blue Devils show?
BostonLUck replied to ThePlanets's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
No argument here -
LOL. Dang... you're right... I didn't include any "soul" references. Fart. Next time, next time.

Unfortunately, "Heart & Soul" ended up a bit of a heart attack. But here's hoping they have the heart to get back out there next year, and really pour their heart into the design process. As for all this coed talk: it would simply break my heart if Madison went coed. So, I hope that the Madison's staff will listen to their hearts, and realize that a heart-to-heart with the alumni will tell them that coed is a bad idea. Anyways, I guess maybe I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve, letting all this talk upset me, but sometimes my heart just isn't in this forum. Well, it's with a heavy hear
