thats a lot of groups. too many ? BLAST MUSIC IN EXTREME Shockwave Cyberjam CROWN BLUE STARS MADISON STAR ALUMNI

Can we p-lease put all the Madison Staff announcements in 1 thread please. getting very booooooooring. by the way. Brad Green is a nice addition. 1st full time guy named.

:blink: :cry BOA / WGI is not DCI

Besides DONNIE VAN DORAN this is going to be one great BOA / WGI show. And MASON although he has not designed for many years now. improved = YES earth shattering + NO

The POINT that when you hold a show and use the stadium to rehearse in you better have great facilities for your OTHER corps. Is justified. Not saying this happened . Its just good organization. Its your home show . you are not traveling . take care of the corps that are. also I heard this from a friend at the show. Hurcs gave out 3 caption awards at retreat. drum major -not sure who won color guard -hurcs percussion -hurcs --------------------------- missing high brass- empire high GE empire High GE IS NOT REGULARLY GIVEN OUT BUT SKIPPING HIGH BRASS ???????? I did not attend this show . Way too far . Can someone give a heads up to the volatility of this statement.

I guess jamesjones0611 and hostrauser are the same also ? Just because people have opinions . That differs from you , don't bash or make personnel attacks. That is against DCP rules . Please.. WA. MAHOI. PMM get it LL ? LMAO

I agree also . Does that make us triplets ?

.... OK . you should let it lie. Just wrote a whole #####ing Post about Madison 2009. then deleted it . It helps no one. and I am willing to remain silent on the subject. BUT.......next time. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE ANSWERS , DONT ASK THE QUESTIONS.

.......

I doubt DCI programmers get idea's from DCP. but --OK. have fun.

WOW. Do you really think a post on DCP will permanently harm a organization ? I think not.

THEN START WITH OFF THE FIELD. Getting the corps BACK to the class act we once knew. I am not talking about show , score , or placements.

FANTASY DRUM CORPS DO NOT COUNT.

You really don't tell us much about the corps programs. Seems like you just want to read yourself. Can a person who has not seen any corps in 2009 get a sense of anything from this review ?? NO... SORRY. BAD REVIEW.

CROSSMEN ??? :blink:

Thats a lot of Music and sort of is ALL the same. I agree. It's an OK list but I don't see any corps using it. so maybe LL does know what he is talking about for once. Don't quit your day job and leave the programing to the staff's.

sorry , did not mean to offend. I am sure he is a great professor at college. but as far as drum corps is concerned he was not . 1 year and out.

I Brought My Girlfriend to a Marching Band Show and She Didn’t Break Up With Me by Jeff Clark in From The Field » There are a few things you should never bring up on a first date: You have a moving truck on reserve for Sunday morning in case this date goes well. You need to call it a night since your cat’s performance of Les Miserables is at 7am. You spent last weekend at a marching band competition. Since you and I are not on a first date right now (although the way you look at me makes me wonder your intentions), I feel OK telling you that I spent last weekend at a marching band comepetion. And it. Was. AWESOME. Last weekend, the Boston Crusaders hosted a small Drum Corps show in Lawrence, Mass. Drum Corps (for those unfamiliar with toe-roll and pops-to-the-box) is like major league marching band, but without the steroids, gold chains or fantasy leagues.* My Very Pretty Girlfriend™, being from a music family, is not a music person. Being a field hockey player, she understands competition but not how a bunch of dudes wearing doofy hats walking around in unison on a football field can be competitive (or fun to watch). So I brought her along to experience my little guilty pleasure. Being that this-here blog is read by music people, I think it’s safe to assume that most of the people reading this blog were probably in their high school band. And if you were in your school’s marching band, you understand the time and effort that it takes to put together a 10-minute show throughout the fall.** Multiply the hours and heat by 10 and now you’re starting to understand what it’s like to march in a drum corps. It’s hardcore. (Hard corps? eh?) The show started off with an exhibition performance by a senior corps – made up of members who are too old to compete with their corps and lead normal lives otherwise. They didn’t move and were (understandably) not as polished as a World Class corps. At the risk of hurting a few feelings (send complaints here), the exhibition was pretty boring. This was MVPG™’s first show at a drum corps competition and her comment to me during their performance has been redacted by the Sonicbids management. It wasn’t what you would consider a “positive” remark. But then something incredible happened. And that something incredible was The Crossmen*** from San Antonio, TX. Their show started out with a loud, fast hit that gave me goosebumps immediately. Their ballad was slow and awesome. Their finale brought everyone to their feet. MVPG™ ate it up and from then on, compared every other corps to The Crossmen. Corps after corps performed and she would go on about how x and y were great, but they weren’t better than The Crossmen. She would hold her breathe when the guard’s rifles went in the air and clap for a great soloist. We made plans to travel to the 2010 Allentown, PA show before the fourth corps had even stepped off. She was finally understanding why I had been so excited for this one night. Unfortunately, The Crossmen didn’t win that night (MVPG™ says they were robbed). But in addition to seeing some great performances by Phantom Regiment, Madison Scounts, Boston Crusaders, Colts, Jersey Surf and Spirit, I feel like I can finally watch a random corp’s peformance on my laptop without feeling her silently judging me from the other end of the couch. If MVPG™ can get pumped about a drum corps show, you can too. The 2009 season ended with the DCI World Championships on Saturday night, but next summer there will be more than 200 corps performing all around the country that would love for you to give them a chance at giving you goosebumps.

Performance for crossmen 2006 was good Bad arrangements and drill Why hasn't Andy write for any one else?

I like the discussion Let's change it to crossmen 2010. Discussion
