  1. It's audio content about drumcorps. Not "good" audio content, but it's something. I work a 3rd shift job where I can have ear buds in all night. I listen to 40 hours of podcasts a week. Drunk Corps and Drumcorps AF are always in my playlist but never must listen to material. I get frustrated at the basic information (show titles, music selections, placements, years, etc.) both podcasts get wrong, but when it comes to drumcorps podcasts...beggers can't be choosers. Z
  2. I've listened to Drunk corps and drumcorps af, and honestly, they are both really bad. I like drumcorps so current podcast options are pretty bad. Some of the marching roundtable shows are okay but there's not many other good options out there. The drunk corps guys had no idea who Michael Gaines is and the drumcorps af guys seemed like they had no idea what Chuck Naffier has been doing since 1999. I'll listen to both as there are not any good options out there but they are both pretty bad. They frequently get shows information wrong and neither have a very good grasp on older 70's/80's/90's drumcorps. Z
  3. I got great tickets through ticketmaster at 12:00 pm yesterday afternoon. 2 tickets row 3 section 140 on the 50 for finals and 2 tickets on the 50 section 640 for semis. The process worked great for me...other than the 510.00 I had to fork over. Z
  4. I believe they were all from Jubal. They were definitely Dutch. I was sitting on the 50 row 4 and they were in row 6. Z
  5. I feel like Spartans guard has been incredibly solid for the past 25 years. The rest of the sections fluctuate from year to year, but the color guard is always killing it. Z
  6. Florence, KY on Thursday On the 50 in 640 on Friday On the 50 row 4 of 140 on Saturday It's like 3 entirely different shows over 3 days. Z
  7. The guy is Jeremy Hunt. Drill writer for Colts, Phantom, and several other corps and bands over the past handful of years. Z
  8. So does Prosperie freak out when OC makes the axe form? Z
  9. Shows like Blue Knights recently I don't get in a good way. Colts this year I don't get in a bad way. Seems like a really good drumcorps with not a very good show. Z
  10. The Mandarins tour fees are less than Vanguards tour fees. I do not believe there are biased judges. That is all Z
  11. I will spend all season wondering what Weber's drill would look like for 18 SCV. Z
  12. Chuck Naffier knows what drumcorps is supposed to sound like. Z
  13. 2018 Bluecoats will be better than 1997 Colts...but I doubt they will be louder. Z
  14. Unless something has changed, there are 8 groups there. I just checked dci.org and it shows 8 corps in the lineup. You can only see 5 but once you hit the expand lineup tab the rest of the groups show up. Z
  15. My favorite Colts shows are all during the Chuck Naffier era. There are many to choose from but my favorite is probably the 1996 Rutter Magnificat show. I have a soft spot for 93, 94, and 95 shows as well, but the 96 show is criminally underrated. Z
  16. Favorites 1. 1992 2. 1989 3. 2000 4. 1987 5. 1995 Least Favorites 2002...My least favorite show of all time 1998...Most forgettable championship show of all time. Z
  17. 1 1992 Big gap Tie of all years Chuck Naffier arranged for Bones. Z
  18. 2002 cadets is my least favorite drumcorps show of all time. Z
  19. As a 5 year member of Pioneer I can say that my completely biased answer is 1996 and nothing else is remotely close. The 1996 corps was finalist caliber in all performance captions but struggled on the GE side. Go look at some recaps from mid season of 1996 and you will be shocked to see where Pioneer's hornline was scoring. Z
  20. I believe 3 corps played Javelin in 2002. I'm pretty sure Troopers played Javelin as well. Z
