I was always led to believe it was Crown’s mashup of Somewhere with Somewhere over the Rainbow that was the straw that broke the camels’s back. Too bad because it was genius.
they seem ok with simply doing a song but using anything in a medley is a no-go.

I’m really convinced people just come here to complain because they don’t hear the answers they want to hear. No matter what SCV says or doesn’t say people start flinging #### lol over this forum because it’s not what they want to hear.

FWIW, Vandegrift used flags in part of their show and if you hadn't told me I would have never known the difference.
They also got the highest regional score ever in BOA so this just seems like natural evolution of the activity like grounding the front ensemble and Star '93.

I thought it was pretty well known after the season ended he was not returning.

For all the people who complain drum corps ain't what it used to be, that sure was a lot of "dancing" during that show for 1984.
Great musicianship back then too.

DID DID CROSSDMEN GET A NEW DRILL WRITER HOPEFULLY?
I think it's a pretty safe bet that Tim Fairbanks is no longer writing their drill.

Totally different than a band who wheels 32 ten foot towers around the field as a part of the performance.
IMHO, YMMV.
In any event, the bands are paying more for the designers than they are props. It’s all part of the presentation for entertainment value. Nobody is watching a stage show on broadway without a set.

As Jeff pointed out - Carmel (2nd) had no props, and William Mason from OH (6th) also had no props.
And, the reps from Carmel and The Woodlands were not only the same as 1985 Cadets and 1994 Blue Devils, they were also arranged in the same manner - long stretches of melody, no chop n bop, no snippets of source material only, etc. Arranged very similarly to their DCI show counterparts.
Yes, plenty of what you mentioned on display over the weekend too (of course), but these two shows - Carmel, The Woodlands - were pretty incredible in their own right.
Mason had panels across the entire front of the field that people and guard equipment hid behind during the entire show.
That is a prop to me. Everyone had a "prop" of some sort. It doesn't matter to me. They are all fantastic performers.

I think They stopped their bingo at the end of last year.
that makes it even more interesting then since I'd like to know where they are getting their funding to get any organization off the ground.

And why not join forces with the Saints?
An interesting question and also another group located in Columbus that doesn't recruit well. I know Capital Regiment has still continued their bingo operations since the corps stopped so there should be no debt and some financial basis to get started. I understand there is completely new leadership but I don't know who.
I have no idea how the Saints raise funds but it appears they don't have much.

There is another thread that states Capital Regiment plans to return to the field for 2024 and reportedly purchased equipment from Southwind.
Interesting. I live in Columbus and see zero mention of them anywhere around town. They started a facebook page for the winds group but then never added any followup content. If that have any intention on going the drum corps route, which I feel is a bad idea right now if they think they are going to field in 2024, they'd better get some recruiting going.

Not sure what post you are referring to but they are trying to get a WGI indoor winds group off the ground. However, it's sort of late to be starting the group for this coming season so I don't know what is going on.

It's funny how anytime someone leaves a job on this site the automatic assumption is they were fired or "told to resign"
It is possible for people to decide to leave positions on their own.

I'm not shooting any messenger. That messenger has fired many bullets here repeatedly already.

Rumors...rumors..rumors. The only legit Rumors is the Fleetwood Mac album.
Is that the difference between "Rumors" and "Rumours"

Not exactly as cut and dried as that, either. After leaving BK, the duo signed on as consultants for Boston Crusaders in the fall of 2019.
Consultant is a "loose" term because I don't think either of them spent much time or effort and no time on tour that I'm aware of.

odds are there's a preseason game there before DCI gets to town
Hard to say. Finals week this year was week 1 of preseason games. The Colts played in Buffalo on August 12.

Yes, sometimes they mention what they do for a living full time right on the telecast, as I have heard it said several times over the years. College refs too.. But its like comparing apples to oranges, imo. NFL Refs are trained on the rules of the game that are pretty straight forward,ie what a TD is, what offsides penalties are, what false starts are, etc and the like. While some things are subjective, its not like judging a Drum Corps where so much of what is done on the football field is FAR more open to subjective interpretation than what refs do in a football game on that same football field. The NFL even has refs decisions frequently overturned via replay of the action on that football field. DCI judges are not subject to such immediate overturns of their decisions. Thus, DCI judges require far more skill in what they do. They actually determine winners. NFL refs dont determine winners. They enforce the rules of the competition, no more, no less. So there really is no need to know their bios/ experience outside of their referee duties, imo.
I'm not sure I understand what is and is not a catch in the NFL anymore.
And for the record, Logan Wilson was not holding Cooper Kupp in the Super Bowl 2 years ago. That call very well might have cost the Bengals the Super Bowl.

Yes. The NFL does on an NFL site, extensive list of officials and other info like training process.
https://operations.nfl.com/officiating/the-officials/2023-roster-of-nfl-officials/
And to clarify, you get their names and not a detailed bio of every league they officiated or played before now that qualifies them to do their job at the NFL level.
