SO happy they extended that last note just a little longer. Always felt like we were getting a little cheated!

SO happy to see Mandarins on the field tonight after their pit/electronics catastrophe yesterday!

These corps don't march holes. They may have holes due to injured or sick members. Long gone are the days of marching holes in hopes of filling them in mid-season--at least at the upper tiers.

Looks like Fabrizio was able to make it this time so we're probably back to two Music Analysis judges tonight.

I absolutely love DCP. 😄

Some, but also Lucas Oil and the Colts HQ.

One. Mandarins got 1. I believe Phantom got a couple dozen.

I love how much Genesis' voiceover is leaning into the absurdity (not intended as a sleight) of the show concept. It's great!

So how do you reconcile this cap with the unpredictable fluctuations in cost of food and travel/fuel, the largest budget items for any corps?

Has there been any word on the state of Mandarins pit and electronic equipment after getting caught in the storm yesterday? I REALLY want them to be able to compete tonight.

I have the same issue. I exclusively watch the high cam feed every show. I saw once in a thread that it was not an issue for the multi cam feed, but I haven’t tried it to verify.

And besides, I'm suspicious of people who say they've been part of DCI since the 80's yet refer to corps as "teams." 🤷‍♂️

100%. I loved Bloo last year and I'm really enjoying them this year. But for goodness sake, their designers need to learn how to EDIT DOWN.

Created an account on Wednesday just to rant about this, eh? 🙂

At least during San Antonio it was around 13:40.

If I had to bet on it, I'd say it was a time issue. Their show is nearly 14 minutes and they only get 17 minutes for setup, performance and exit.

Nooooooo. Echoes of 2018. Hopefully none of the electronics are fried again!

Nah, wasn't a situation that requires falling on a sword! 🙂

It's not in a dome anymore, so they're avoiding scheduling corps to perform during the heat of mid-day.

Yep, that's what it is. It's your TV protecting from screen burn-in.
