We’ve Gone Theatrical… Let’s go more.
JohnDF replied to PopcornEater1963's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This topic has the Mandarins written all over it... I'm expecting some exciting stuff from them in the coming years. -
Indeed... We would kind of chuckle at the attempts these past two years. But in his defense, it's a tough name and we'd struggle with it too if we hadn't known the family.

Buzz-aid-en-hote... not sure he ever got it correct.

Great season and a great finish. Congrats to all the performers, staff, and parents. I was daring to hope for a top six finish, so happy it happened for them... see y'all next year.

I feel like that was their best run, saving the best for last. Super proud of them. Now it's in the hands of the judges, everybody is bringing their "A" Game tonight.

Looks like the Mandarins moved up to fill the void. 👍 -
Wow, no one wants to discuss VANGUARD?

Very Super Cool. 👍 -
Dci fans should be ashamed of themselves
JohnDF replied to MikeBD's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I love what everybody is doing and "applaud" the effort put forth by all. With that being said, I don't believe in a competition that everybody deserves the same accolades... but I'm kind of old (school) like that. A standing ovation should be reserved for those moments that move you to do it. -
Love it!

JohnDF replied to MikeBD's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Maybe abstract art isn't a show theme that everybody connects with? -
Good for your son, I admire his loyalty. Mandarins have a great organization, treat their members right, and are on the rise... why would anybody not want to be part of that.

If I was the one picking the winner this year, it would be Crown. 🏆 It's one of the shows (along with Mandarins) that I will continue to watch and listen to a lot, until the next season starts.

Good performance, but we know they can do it better... They should all be proud and hungry for more.

High school band practice Finals week
JohnDF replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Our local school just finished their week long band camp... my son is the brass tech for them. I love leaving for work and hearing the band out rehearsing that early in the morning before school starts. -
Nice score tonight... Keep Rising!

WDBC in Cincinnati - August 7th, 2023
JohnDF replied to Brass of the South's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Wishing every team good luck tonight... especially the Mandarins. -
Gotta have goals. 👍
-
Very proud of our Mandarins and super excited for finals... Keep up the great work.
-
Very well said... and that's why it's so darn exciting right now, who doesn't love a good horse race.

The way the judges are handing out all these big score jumps lately, it's going to take 100 to win it.
