Nice job on the review. we are in agreement on much. It's great to have this local show in such a great venue with easy access and ample parking.

Wow Step away to deal with the real world for a few months and look what happens

I'm not going to read through 260+ pages of comments.... I'll just add my $0.02 based on the Houston show. This is a horrible idea that needs to be canned after this season. Bravo to the Corps who have not climbed onto the synthesizer band wagon.

Love the "Texas Two Step" (Dallas/Houston) format. Love having the shows at the Berry Center in Houston. Easy access, lots of parking, great venue! I'll make like I'm from Chicago and vote multiple times Keep it Keep it Keep it

I recall feeding Regiment in the Dome parking lot during my time with their food crew. Usually, it was after the show but before hitting the road to the next show, but I seem to remember doing dinner in the lot one year. Maybe Aramark's rule only pertains to running a concession stand

Doing the Happy Dance Congrats Regiment!! Wish I had been able to have been there At Least I was able to enjoy your performance on screen during the QF's

Indiana Memorial Stadium Repairs At least they haven't forgotten about finals

If it's supposed to be Cuba, someone modified what would be the entire eastern end. What about taking the opposite approach and instead of viewing the silhouette as a land mass view as a lake.

I was there as well. Great evening for Drum Corps! Everyone around me was amazed that this is a high school facility (it would put many university football stadiums to shame). The facility was built by the Cy-Fair School District and will be shared by multiple high schools. It would suit me just fine if the show was moved to this facility from Rice (I'll admit this is a selfish desire on my part due to it being only a few minutes from my home) for the future. I really thought Pioneer had a shot at Magic last night. They continue to close the gap and their show has the potential. Too bad the don't have a few more members to fill it our a little more. I also had Crown over SCV, but knew it would be close. Another great show from the Cavies with a theme that the crowd buys into from start to finish. Well Done.

WooHoo!!! *Doing the Happy Dance* Go Phantom!

Is the "America / O Canada" 911 Tribute from Buffalo DCI Finals available anywhere?

Oops, sorry. I thought this was recent news. I did a search but only looked back a couple of weeks

Saw a news clip on ESPN that the Colts had signed a new deal including a new retractable roof stadium to be complete in 2008. Is the echo dome on it's way out? :) Will DCI move to the new digs?

DCI server seems to have gone down

Just wanted to catch up with a couple of quick comments to add while they're still fresh on my mind. Colt Cadets: I applaud these youngsters. Not easy at that age (or any age for that matter) to put a show together. However, this was my 1st show where the mic's/amps were used for voice/singing and to be honest I hope this is the only year this is allowed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the kids (I would have had the same complaint if it had been PR, Blue Devils, etc.) but I am complaining about the show concept/design. Show Organizers: Intermission: 45 mintues? TOO LONG! Vendor Placement: Don't put the kettle corn vendor under the stands. The fans in section B were gagging from the smell of burnt popcorn most of the night. ampssuck
