The Houston show is still listed on the schedule for Friday July 19th. But the venue is still TBA. ✅ https://www.dci.org/events/2024-dci-houston

Well, the Blue Devils have cut-outs; it states it right there on their track. Looks like they're the only one... 😂

Although I'm a percussion guy, I would have chosen the Guardsmen for their quality & unique brass style. ✔️

Thank you for my Gary Larson 'Far Side' style picture of Nate sitting across from a clarinet over a candlelit dinner. Now I wonder about their conversation. (Kind of like Larson's sousaphone sitting at the bar cartoon.) We could comment on their potential conversation. 🤔🫢😂

I like his sports marketing background which I DCI really use to push the 'niche' product.

Thanks for the "do, do, do, do better" ear worm. 🤦‍♂️😬😂

Yes; greatness cannot be achieved without sacrifice. 😃

👀💙

I like their majestic tempo @86-88 bpm. ✅

Think that’s it written by Alfred Newman for the movie theme. Or I always thought it was anyway. ✅

This one? Only the 2nd 'official' press release aside from the Troopers video interview. DCI All-Age article: https://dci.org/news/buzz-is-building-for-first-season-of-dci-all-age?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email

If the plaintiff were to lose the lawsuit, can the defendants not ask or require that they are paid for their legal fees? Or would they have file a countersuit for those fees? 🤔

Some news other than just pictures on social media: Welcome to Emily Neuendorf, Stuart Pompel (Pacific Crest Drum & Bugle Corps) and Brandon Stansbury (Phantom Regiment) as the newest members of the DCI Board of Directors. https://dci.org/news/dci-membership-fills-open-board-of-directors-seats-2024?fbclid=IwAR2gcJVhAcwxBXLNZBXZ38AHfALdFV1xNObHXRJtOhIV9IUmyvCh8mIlCe0

Been there & done that in college in the Sugar Bowl. Crazy echo in that dome with the round design & lack of sound dampening materials. ✅

He knows the secret to the image generator. 😁

In the FAQ section from the 2008 article that @Jeff Ream shared, Memorial home or concert side side seats 28,000. But given that Lucas Oil is an indoor facility, I would think that the turf replacement would run pretty smoothly. The foundation & drainage system is probably in pretty good shape with minimal repairs? Most sites quote a 3-6 week install. Our new HS turf system install only took about 8 weeks but that was tearing out the Bermuda grass, top soil, & old drainage system. Then the new concrete rim, barriers, foundation, & drainage had to be installed before the turf. They also had to dodge thunderstorms in May & June. The 2008 relocation was also the new construction which rarely goes as scheduled. So hopefully the 2024 project will mostly be a turf replacement. 🤷‍♂️ But I could also be an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. 😁 But I'd rather be in the 'ole oil can. https://www.dci.org/news/frequently-asked-questions-2008-world-championships-relocated-to-bloomington-ind

Good video from Black Swamp - more videos on how to cut on YouTube

I think you're referring to the "snare bed"? It's a small contour cut into the bearing edge to allow the snares to rest flat on the bottom snare head. Google "snare bed" for some info & videos. I guess they're cut with a small router bit. May have to send ht shell to a custom builder for a proper cut? Metal shells also have a snare bed. I think Ludwig used to 'hand hammer' their snare beds in the metal shells. I restore vintage shells but haven't tried recutting bearing edges yet. Good luck!

We did have a Hampton Inn commercial with a generic winter guard family. Would have been a great opportunity for WGI marketing.

Or DrumCorpsOnlyFans.com? Lots of potential; in so many sordid ways... 😂🥲😂🥲

Thank you Mr. Gamin. Outstanding arrangements from Bocook, McNutt, & Moyer! 🙌

But those cobs are some tough chewing... 😁

Taylor has been a huge ratings boost for the NFL product bringing in the Swifty family. Maybe she should start dating a prominent DCI figure? 😁
