  1. The Rose Bowl sucked. Traffic was terrible. Lines to get in the tunnels were ridiculous. Lines for the food and restrooms were even worse. I have never heard louder lights. The seats were way too small. (A person next to me sat in the aisle the entire show because they could not fit in the seat). And speaking of that the entire aisle was full of people just sitting there. Which caused a problem because the people coming and going during every show had difficulty walking around and talking during every show. And worst of all I paid $125 for my seats and by the time I got to them I was on the 10 yard line. I feel so ripped off!!! I love the fact that DCI came to California, but the venue was not good and it was poorly run. Most high school band shows are better run than that. Bye DCI. Thanks for coming to California. Good luck in Indiana. I have been to almost every finals since 1972. But I think I am done. I am tired of feeling ripped off. I will go to the local shows. And by the way, WAY TO GO BD!!! Congratulations for a great "Victory".
  2. And by the way...NO Narration at their practices
  3. Just my 2 cents... It seems that the Esperanza organization knew months before the show that their director had left and that there would only be 3 board members left. If those 3 board members felt that they could not put on the show, why didn't they call DCI and say that either someone else would need to take over hosting or just cancel the show. I'm sure people would have been disappointed, but not returning calls or just not doing the job was not the best tactic to take. I'm sure people would have understood cancelling the show which was being hosted by a non-existent organization. All it would have taken is a phone call. And if that call was made early enough, maybe PC or some other organization could have taken it over and ran it more smoothly.
  4. I was there. They are great. They announced full dress rehearsal tonight at 8:00
  5. Seems like the entire problem was that the Esperanza organization was responsible for this show. They were not there. They was not even a mention of Esperanza at the show. They just seemed to disappear, just like their chances of ever coming back to division 1. Thanks to the Mount Carmel High School music department for puling through and keeping this show on the schedule!
  6. Anyone going to Irvine? Or will everyone be going to Pasadena?
  7. And then Indy needs to lose out and finals come back to the west coast. Like that is ever going to happen.
  8. I found this on World of Pagentry Cavies....Vista HS first part of week then La Mirada HS PR....Newbury Park first part of week then Trabuco Hills HS Blue Devils....Roosevelt HS in Corona SCV...Warren HS in Downey all week Yeah! Trabuco Hills HS is walking distance from my home ^OO^
  9. Irvine, CA. Anyone else? Just a few hours. I can't wait to see some drum corps!
  10. So do you think we might find out something about Esperanza's 2007 plans at the DCI meetings this weekend?
  11. It is January 15 and nothing yet on Esperanza's website about auditions. Last year their auditions were before January 15. Did I miss something? Does anyone have any info?
  12. I can't wait to see both Impulse and VK this summer. I wish them both the best and hope that both corps do fantastic this year. Wouldn't it be great to see these 2 corps fighting it out for 1st place! ^OO^
  13. Here we go again. Don't you know you are not supposed to ask that question! Just be patient and they will have their audition information up on the web-site soon. Or you can wait and try out for a different div 1 corps next year.
  14. Class...anyone???...anyone??? December 27 and still no news from Esperanza.
  15. Wasn't that Jimmy Kimmel?? I remember being there and that he said he was from the Man Show. I do remember that he was not very good as a drum corps announcer. Too many strange comments and he did not know anything about drum corps.
  16. They should all come out. Plus TV shows like Jay Leno and Ellen. The more publicity the better!
  17. Will VK be announcing their 2007 show at the open house? If they do, PLEASE someone post it As Soon As Possible!
  18. You are right. The other So Cal corps (PC, Impulse, VK) are having auditions in Nov and Dec. Also BD and SCV are having auditions in So Cal in Nov and Dec. So if I want to march I may want to go to these auditions. Then if I don't make it I would be available in January to go to auditions then. I hope everything at Esperanza is OK for next year. Go E!!!
  19. Does anyone have any info on Esperanza auditions and program for the coming year? Their website says "2007 audition info" but it has not been updated since last year.
  20. Vanguard Cadets and Blue Devils B have not gone to finals every year. They don't make the trek across the country every year. So if not going to finals this year means that another Div 2/3 corps will be able to stay in existence for another year and be around in 2007, then I think it is a good decision for them.
  21. All these comments about having to go all the way to Pasadena. What about all the California Div 2 and 3 corps having to go all the way Indianapolis for the next 10 years? :(
