I just wet myself... Symphonic Metamorphosis

Wow. I'm shocked that so many people can have blatant disrespect for any corps like some people have shown the past couple months. I marched Troopers for 2 years, so yeah I'm a little biased, but I'm getting sick of it. Everywhere I look, people are ripping on BD, the Cadets, Corps X,Y, and Z. I haven't surfed these forums and not seen something negative about one corps or another. I'm sick of it. Alex

I hope I'm not the only one that got that joke. . . but either way, good one.

I just got mine in the mail and I will not stop watching until they are done.

I can't believe The Madison Scouts scored so low! I can't believe BAC scored so high! I can believe The Cadets won! I can't believe PR didn't win! (my second favourite of the night) I can't believe SCV didn't place higher! I can't believe Glassmen didn't place lower! I can't believe The Cadets had any competition for drums I can't believe Phantom Regiment didn't win horns! I can't believe The Cavaliers didn't win visual! I can believe Cadets won GE. I can't believe The Cavaliers didn't win guard! I can't believe anyone didn't win timing and penalty! How do you WIN timing and penalty? I second this question, what is and how do you win timing and penalty. I can't believe The Cadets didn't get penalized for being so awesome! I can't believe I didn't march, seriously, such a mistake. I also can't believe I'm such an insomniac.

You win my respect for having great abilities to predict shows, and if you happen to be in Russia this summer, I'll buy you a beer. :mmm:

HAHA, told you it was about Alice in Wonderland. . . My sources are good, and with Hopkin's daughter auditioning as a dancer, that makes my statements even more true.

Well, as a member who marched Troopers, I'm just going to say I agree with the original poster whole-heartedly for both Pioneer and Troopers. It also doesn't help that we can never fill a full 135 spots, but that's a recruiting. Tradition is great, but utilizing tradition and while still being progressive and putting out great programs is really what it should be about. The Cavies, I think, are the best example of this.

Yeah, I'm aware that it's a play on "Alice" from the Scouts and that's why I found it interesting that Hopkins would take such an idea from the past, it'll be interesting to see if this is truly the choice, b/c I'm sure the Cadets will put an entirely different spin on it.

I haven't met her, but it's just what I heard from a member who works with a guy on the guard staff. I can't give any promises and I really don't want to be one of the rumor guys, it's just what I heard. Either way, I'm sure the Cadets will put out an amazing and unique product. Here's to 06.

Word on the street is that Alice in Wonderland is going to be theme of the show, with use of the door again and maybe Hopkin's daughter being Alice.
