think about it, the semi finals show would be about 6 hours long, even if they charged $25 a ticket theaters would be losing money on a usually busy Friday night because during that 6 hour time slot they could show 3 movies on that screen at $13 a pop. that is why you will never see the theaters give up a Friday or Saturday night to DCI

wrong - Bluecoats became the second corps to do this in 2016 when they won -
Favorite audience shout outs?
bluecoats88 replied to Hrothgar15's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
one I heard from the stands while performing after the cadets had performed was someone in the audience yelled "Bring Back Garfield" that one always stung -

1986 was a fun show, if you remember the vibe feature in doodletown that was me ;) -
I'm trying to figure out where he goes when he wanders and why he felt the need to mention his occasional wandering

yeah, the turd in this sentence is the show not the students.

I think he is commenting on the fact that mandarins go on before the intermission then there are 2 more corps before Cadets. probably doesn't give Mandarins much of a shot of being compared fairly head to head against Cadets so Cadets will probably come out on top in that matchup regardless of whether or not they truly deserve to be. the timing makes it hard on the judges to state confidently that mandarins are better or worse than Cadets

New Rule for the next conference
bluecoats88 replied to Old Corps Guy's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
it's funny how everyone last year was complaining about bluecoats focusing on a live singer and this year the complaint is that they aren't using a live singer... -

you know I bet every year you can probably predict who the top 5 or 6 College Football teams are going to be also, and I'm guessing not once does Ball State, Maryland, Rutgers, Duke, or Minnesota ever get mentioned. -
Troopers 2019 >"<
bluecoats88 replied to 2muchcoffeeman's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
my understanding is they beat them more recently like in 2007, 2008, & 2009 or at least around that time if not during all three years -

I'm gonna try to get the crowd to do it as the corps enters the field in Allentown instead of the standard blooooo. maybe if we try this at enough shows it will catch on before finals -
So - who's winning?
bluecoats88 replied to George Dixon's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
yeah the article was wrong, because Bluecoats beat BD last year in Katy Texas. and no, it is never over until finals night. we will see if BD can catch Bluecoats or if Bluecoats can do enough to stay on top. -
So - who's winning?
bluecoats88 replied to George Dixon's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
it's already beating BD head to head, and they haven't even added the changes they are currently working on which I hear are fantastic. -
they got 2nd - how underrated could it have been?

bluecoats88 replied to ajlemm's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
me too - who is this? I remember we were lined up just outside the gates and as the raiders came off the field I recall looking up at them and noting that the tops of our members plumes (we wore shakos in 82) were just barely tall enough to brush the raiders chins. those guys were huge -

I got to watch Roger Staubach throw a 50 yard pass to a ball boy with only one step the day he was inducted, and I was standing about 5 yards from Roger at the time. unfortunately the ball boy dropped the pass in the end zone.
