I agree that DCI should just do away with the classes. The way to decided who gets paid and who doesn't? (Currently Open Class gets little to no performance fees) Two factors:
1) Place in the top 25
2) Must attend, San Antonio, Atlanta and Allentown

This "Championship Series" is all but wrapped up. As we know, as the season progresses the point spreads get smaller. 1.35 is a HUGE gap to make up in 6 shows. For argument sake if BD or Cadets were to beat Crown in all of the remaining TOC shows by .2 Crown will still win the Series.
Standings
Crown = 0
BD = -1.35
Cadets = -1.55
SCV = -3.10
PR = -4.70
Coats = -6.95
Cavs = -7.15

Choose a cereal that best represents a drum corps....
Velvet Knights = Trix or Cocoa Puffs
It's more like Special "V"K

I don't know what this is about but here is what I was told.
I asked a friend "in the know" for his opinion of the recent G7 letter and told me that he rather not comment, BUT there would be an announcement soon that would "restore my faith in the activity".
What that means, I don't know.

Someone please nominate Jack Bevins. I would if I had the time, or the lyrical skills to write a nomination.

88 promoted animal creulty as they had a "bull" out there for Malaguena, and encouraged him to do vile acts, like urinating on the fallen matador.
oh and it was ####### funny too
Let’s not forget that the 88 show got some complaints from the “Violence Against Women” crowd, when said matador slaps the dancer across the face.

Drum Major!!
-
From the very start of the show, it was clear the corps was continuing on its path of defying convention. The drum major took out a baton from behind his neck and then dropped it on the field; a spoof of Phantom Regiments drum major routine. A brief statement of the melody of Summertime (from Gershwins Porgy and Bess) kicked off the production, just as fans eyes were finally adjusting to the psychedelic pattern of the stretch pants the brass and percussion members were wearing.
Yeah that was me!

Personally, I think regionals should be open to all corps to compete on the same sheets. This would give the OC corps a chance to see where they stand on the WC sheets prior to quaterfinals.

Speaking fom experience, the "slow-walk" race was an opportunity for comic relief. Didn't really matter which corps it was, making fun of the situation, without being disrespectful, was what it was all about for me.
On the west coast, SCV would be the ones to "slow-walk" the best. We would march right up to them, slow down....to a crawl. He would go slower. We'd come to a halt, then march backwards. Then RUN to the front, sit in the lawn chair then point as if to say "Hey, can you speed this up".
The funny thing is this would change night after night. It was all in good fun.

Would be better if it were "pick-n-pack". List items that can be included in a package and let the customer choose. Pack #1 can include up to 5 items, Pack #2 may contain up to 8 items.. etc. or a list of items with prices and put as little or as much as you want in the package. With incentives, 5 or more items includes a DCI key chain, 15 or more items includes a DCI tote bag.
Really how many young ladies on tour are too concern with doing their nails?

During this past winter, the board of directors for the VK Org. had decided to approve the return of the Velour Knights, VK Too & VK³ to the field of competition. But as the start of the season gets closer and closer, everyone involved realized that it is just not going to happen. At least not to the degree that we are accustom to.
So with that the VK Org. will remain as an inactive organization for the time being, with plans to be on the field for season 20 of DCPI.
Best of luck to all.

Contra takes a heavy swing at cymbal. Cymbal players blocks much of the force with plates, but doesn't see the contra player pull out the well sharpened tuning slide and stabs cymabl player in the neck.
Game Over

The last I heard on this, and I don't remember the thread but it was on here and in mid-September or so, IIRC-is that they will use the audio with a black screen for the music from a certain song. Again, I don't recall exactly but I seem to remember that this came from quite a reliable source. I plan on making Madison the first viewing as soon as I can get the wrapping off.
A better solution would have been to play the audio with a photo slide show from the performance. The audio and video aren't synced so there wouldn't be a problem with the rights. You still would get a sense of what was going on in the show.

No offense, but I think you're missing the forest for the trees. The fact is people are going - and going in big numbers. Ticket sales for each of the past three years has been in excess of 37,000 for these. Those numbers are in the Montreal category.
This format is drawing big. That's undeniable. What's unfathomable is this thinking that similar big crowds would want to buy tickets to see shows that not only couldn't place among their contemporaries but that also have failed to gain more than niche recognition since. I saw '94 VK live in 1994. They were fun. But there are better VK shows. Why would we expect either the new generation or the previous one to buy tickets to see a VK show that isn't legendary? That's not what the countdown is for*. That's what the Fan Network and DVDs are for.

*Except as a footnote inside a broader program.
You are quoting ticket sale stats from a different show. Quarter-Finals is different than the Classic Countdown
Carry on

One of my favorite shows ever.

Martha, I'll make sure to stop by and say hello.

I'm iffy on this one. If it were say 6, which double the normal changes, I'd say yes, but 8 is a total swap. Part of the game is learning how to play the game.
As it stands I'm saying No... sorry Homie
