Yeah, Santa stopped at "3" Ho's! I heard Tiger has officially changed his name . . . . . . to . . . . CHEETAH!!!

You don't have to pay top dollar - It's HALF OFF today and tomorrow only!!

I spoke with the Acheson's on Friday evening at semis. DCI is well aware of the ticketing fiasco and know this is a "must fix" situation. TicketMaster will also be addressed. To TicketMaster, the "best available seats" are in the end zones where TOUCHDOWNS occur. I applaud you sending a letter to DCI. The only way to get action is to address your concerns to the people that can do something about them!

This is no different than the hornline attempting plies, lunges, tondus, etc. There are only so many movements one can do carrying a thirty pound drum! I don't understand why it is OK for the hornline but not the drumline. Bluecoats were at least musical.

Bingo!! Scott was still director in 2002. As an alum and parent of an alum, the competitive edge strongly existed when my son marched 2004-06! I think some of my fellow brothers have "just lost touch'! JMHO

And they told each other "Don't be afraid of the tarp." Oops, I mean dark!

I think it is the Food truck by the look of it - the equipment truck has 2 doors at each end on that side and I only see one on the right - could be wrong though! the G-Men are smart in their travel in that they run their semis behind the busses in case of accidents so that some other vehicle doesn't slam into the back of a bus full of people - a way of protecting the occupants on the busses. Less lives at risk slamming into the back of an equipment truck than a fully loaded bus! PLUS, they're bigger!

Wow, I've traveled from Indy to Bloomington MANY times - sure never made it in 16 minutes !!!! Blue Stars must have those bikes powered with jet fuel or something! I do know that several corps will find their housing sites out on Tuesday!! Wow!

WOW!!! Watching live streaming is HUGE to most people. I think the $69 - then discounted to $39 AT THE END of the live season is pretty reasonable. If the $39 is JUST now being offered, then the $69 is BY FAR the best value! I know I've certainly gotten my money's worth both this year and last. Yeah, I even go to shows too!!!!

Couldn't have said that better myself!!! :smile:

[quote name='Renegade_fireman' date='Jul 16 2008, 01:30 PM' post='2304202' Its a topic about the drums spinning. I actually wasn't the first person to bring up that someone else did it. Actually I wasn't even close, I just added to the conversation. I just think it would be good for people to see how these ideas were directly taken from other groups this past year, whos accomplishments and innovations will now be remembered as "Look what Blue Devils did in 2008", and not "Look what World Champion Rhythm X did" AMEN!!! Let's give credit where credit's due! GO X!! :smile:

Didn't your mother teach you that" if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all??"

You know - I was thinking the SAME THING! BD 19.7 BLUECOATS 19.4 Phantom 19.3 PLUS, they had a snare that marched with a BROKEN FOOT!

How true!! b**bs

Let it be known that Bloo's drumline ended the year with a second place finish!!! Way to go!! ^OO^ ^OO^ ^OO^ 1. BD 19.7 2. Bluecoats 19.4 3. Phantom 19.3

The Kingsmen were awesome!! Talk about bringing back memories!! They were the FIRST drum corps I ever saw - 1974. Drill was great WOW! Thank you Kingsmen Alumni Corps - it was well worth the price of admission. SUPERB!

Perhaps they were members of the corps who marched earlier in the season and got hurt sometime DURING season. Just a thought.

Dayton, Ohio theater sold out tonight! Great for DCI - not so great for me!

I had no problem using Firefox.

QUOTE(Brassop @ Aug 5 2007, 08:20 PM) * Madison was not top-6 last year. They were a bottom-tier corps that placed 9th, a mere 2.875 from last. Hmmmm . . . . Wow, only 3 points away from ALMOST making it!! WOW, 2.875 from last place! Seems like a double - edged sword to me. I'd take a ninth place finish any day over being 3 points away from being in the top 12! No brainer!! Ask any director how difficult it is to make up 3 points! It aint easy! 3 points is HUGE!!! (be it from breaking into finals or 2.875 from 12th place! That's a BIG spread!!)

1985!!!!

Took my oldest son to his first drum corps experience when he was 2 weeks old!! (Not that he remembers!!) It was actually a clinic that BD was giving in the afternoon before the show. He is aging out this year after marching 5 summers!!!

Devils Coat the Cadets for a 1- 2 - 3 finish! ^0^

OK - I did - sorry !!
