Sounds like it will be a fun and interesting show. Spirit is back!

SCV will proudly return to the field in 2024. Wouldn't surprise me if they make top six.

SCV will indeed be competing in 2024. Not only that, but they will be in the top six.

The color guard part of drum corps shows should change with the times. For example, why are they still called guard? Who are they guarding? Rifles, Sabres, really? All military terms from the beginnings of drum corps. Even Winter Guard International should change their name. How does that name reflect today's activity, and what they are doing, as some kind of art performance?

I wonder if an all-male guard can compete with today's brilliant co-ed top four guards: Boston, BD, Bluecoats, Crown. When is the last time Cavies won Guard? The color guard is a much bigger part of shows than in the past.

With the Cavies now having the the number one percussion line, will their current staff be able to put a better show together in 2024? I think they will, and expect them to be back in the top six, if not higher.

Worst move: Crossmen to San Antonio. They now have to travel thousands of miles, if they wish to compete before the Texas tour begins mid-July.

A few shows do have combined DCI World/Open/All age line-ups. Rochester has a 10 corps line-up. One issue is that the All-age corps are limited to weekend only shows, so they cannot be included in weeknight ones.

Can't remember the last time Rochester, NY hosted a DCI show. Pretty good line-up too, with a combination of 10 World Class and All-age corps. Anyone else live in Rochester who might remember?

San Antonio has a 23 corps line-up! Going, even though it will be 104 on the Riverwalk.

Everyone, except Boston area fans, should be happy with the schedule.

9 of the top 12 bands in Indy came from two states: Texas and Indiana.

Did anyone get an email from Flo about a class action lawsuit? According to Reddit, they settled a class action lawsuit for sharing subscribers info with Facebook, and automatically renewing subscriptions without consent. $2.6 million. Anyone know more about this?

Sweeny Todd must be performed by Phantom--the murder-happy corps.

Will the All-age corps get paid for contests the same as the World Class corps? Anyone know?
