It really angers me that DCI has removed APD's. I would love to pay for some of this years performances. REALLY ticks me off.....

Really wish I could be there to witness your crowning. It is well deserved! Only got to see you guys once this year, prelims and definately wish it were more. Shows like yours come around every few years and i'd love to see it again in person. Good luck tonight and bring home the win!

And then they wonder why people ignore or are angry about this bs and download illegally. It's idiot crap like this that pisses you off! I've contacted Tresona twice asking them about this and this is their response: 'We are a music licensing agency, we are not the copyright owners. We issue licenses on behalf of rights holders to anyone group or entity who wants or needs a license. If the rights holders approve of issuance of license, we issue the licenses. If there's a problem obtaining something you need as far as media is concerned, perhaps DCI would be able to be more helpful to you. ( as if THEY'RE the problem...what bs...). Cordially, Mark Greenberg, President The licensing exchange tresonamusic.com Can't possibly be they acquired a ####load of rights and want to exploit it to the last penny, huh. Next year I'll have no qualms about recording with my phone any performance I'd like to keep due to their intransigence allowing lawful purchase of DCI's products. They can stuff it.....

How is this any different from recording it off a album? Or taping it? Or whatever. If you bought the thing, it's yours to listen to at your pleasure. Unless these companies now want you to pay per listening or to squeeze every last dime out of your wallet, which is what it seems here. Still ridiculous. Make it available, figure this bs out because folks would really like to hear those performances again. Stop with the bs already.....

I'd rather have a APD professionally recorded. It's pathetic that it has come to this where buying it legally is gone due to the greed of a few......ridiculous....

Are we sure this is the right company?? I got a email back Dear sir, I am not sure what this is in reference to. I believe you have contacted the wrong company. Cordially, Mark Greenburg, President, The Licensing Exchange, Tresonamusic.com Got a feeling there's a chicken in the hen house here and he doesn't want to acknowledge it. This is Tresona that's been talked about......

Found this organizations email to contact them- info@tresonamusic.com I let them have it good. I suggest you do the same. What they're doing is utterly disgusting.....

Too late, looking elsewhere. Not DCI's fault but I sure as hades don't want to support a lawyer driven corporation who's attempting to extort more $$ from DCI, a organization who does great things for the youth of this nation. Screw them....eat your recording contracts, pal.....there are other means to a end. And if I were DCI, I would attempt to find ways, legal ways, around this company that's extorting them so as to not have to deal with them in the future. Because I sure as hell want not one red cent from me to go to this firm!

Think they should average the scores the last three nights. Had they done this, Crown would be the winner. This would make every show count, not just the last night. And it would be nice to add more of a entertainment factor in the scoring. Cavaliers won multiple times with some very crowd pleasing shows. They actually CAN be entertaining and winning at the same time. Devils show this year was better for me than the last few, but it still fell well short of being called 'crowd pleasing' by the VERY vociferous negative response they received when it was announced at Finals night. Think folks definitely want more entertainment value factored in in scoring. Had they had a very entertaining show, those people in the stands would have been happy to see them win...IMO...

How the flip did some company get the rights to DCI related music/videos?!? That is akin to producing something and then having that taken right out from under your nose and held hostage! This company has no rights to do that! I hope this goes to court sometime in the near future and DCI wins a huge settlement. DCI IS Drum Corps and has every right to the music IT promotes and has helped to create and sustain! This is such BS it's unreal. And folks wonder why people look to the black market. It's BS like this when greedy companies act in this manner..... I haven't purchased APD's in a few years now and sadly was considering it this season with all the excellent shows being produced and then I find this nonsense..... guess I'm forced to look elsewhere. Greed is destructive everywhere it's propagated....

Thanks, check your PM please

Looking for three tix together. Interested. Location in 142??

Saw Cadets in Michigan City and was blown away. What a show! Love the high stepping and lines. Music selection is fantastic! Glad to see they're back. Cavaliers impressed me as well. Their hornline is powerful and it's a aggressive show. The overall theme lacks a bit of direction but talking to some at the show it will fall into place as the season progresses. I am not a fan of Blue Devils, at all. Hate the direction this traditional jazz powerhouse has gone. Used to love them to death. I think the last show I liked was nighttrain back in 04'. Last year was terrible as were too dang many of the recent years from them. I used to go to shows just to see them. No longer. Now I avoid them...

Like Jjeff said, I used to love BD. They were my fav Corps. Their style,execution and music were fantastic. 88' was one of their pinnacle years for me. Absolutely loved that show. There have been a few since I liked as well, the 04' train show was good as were a couple since. But they have gotten really bizarre and 'hollywood'ized in recent years. Just off the wall weird. There were very very brief elements of this show I somewhat liked. The rest, forget it. The guy on the tables dragging his leg, Quasimoto, you can keep it. All the crap on the field, coat racks AGAIN. So friggin much clutter and crap. I don't believe their drill is difficult at all. They park and blow a ton. I've been through this over and over. They get the benefit of the doubt with the judges. And I saw 93' Star in personal a few times. Loved that show. It was difficult. It was darned near flawless! But at least it wasn't off the friggin wall bizarro world like Devils is headed. They're in some strange class by themselves. And believe me, I ain't the only one noticing. Heard many former marchers mention it the last few years. You either love them or hate what they're doing.....don't hate them myself, because I know they could put out one helluva killer show and they don't and THAT is what pisses me off the most. Rant over....
