  1. Moved to DCP Marketplace - more of a "Wanting to Buy" post, and this might help more people see it! Thanks, Mike
  2. You could PM Andrew - his screenname is Wheelerand. :) Hope that helps - Mike
  3. Moved to Percussion Forum, so that it might be better preserved for posterity! :) Mike
  4. Moved to Historical Discussions forum. As I've heard it told, I thought it was '85, and they used a synthesizer to play Axel F (Beverly Hills Cop theme) - they were penalized either 1.0 or 2.0 at each show in which it appeared? I'm sure someone'll fill in more detail on here... :) Mike
  5. Forrest is an officer in the Marine Reserve, and was called up a couple of years ago to serve in Macedonia. The last Psiguy heard from him, he was still over there. In the meantime, obviously, no more minis have been made, but Forrest has said that once he gets back he wants to start doing it again. That's about all we know... :) Mike
  6. So what happened with the Expos in '89 - they reneged on their deal with DCI, or did DCI put the banner up expecting them to sign a contract, or what? I've been wondering about that one as well! :) Mike
  7. For those of you who don't know, Kilpatrick is an awesome drummer - pretty much acknowledged as one of the best - if not *the* best - pipe band drummers in the world. Mike
  8. Moved to Percussion forum - for consistency's sake. :) (Better to keep like-subjects in the same area...) Thanks! Mike
  9. Twelve? Thirteen? Something like that. We had to create a separate forum to discuss all of them... Mike
  10. Oh, and DCI did tell DCP that these are the only rules proposals out there this year... Mike
  11. The two threads on this topic have been merged. Mike
  12. Oh, and I add that after reading the proposals (link on the dci.org page), the Judges' Task Force is not in favor of moving the one judge off of the field, but *is* in support of adding the ensemble judge...
  13. http://www.dci.org/news/news.cfm?news_id=e...b7-b2cd231ba97b Here's the gist: #1 - Adding a Percussion Ensemble judge and giving equal weight to battery and pit, to make sure that the pit gets feedback from every judged performance. #2 - Moving the Percussion Performance judge into the stands, so he can watch the pit as well, not just the battery... Mike
  14. Thanks for the review - I can now "hear" a restatement of Adios Nonino in my head a la Canon... :) And if I lived closer, I'd try Beef-a-Roo, too! Mike
  15. Because the crowd felt they should have been higher than they were - they were booing the placement; not the corps. I can see arguments for and against where they ended up. From a fan who's not breaking it down caption-by-caption, they were friggin' on fire musically. Visually, they weren't as crisp as many of the corps above them, though. I still love to listen to that show... Mike
  16. From what I've seen, that's a pretty standard setup for just about every corps. Mike
  17. Wow - that was friggin' cool. Mike
  18. I read somewhere that their double beat exercise this year was based on a techno song. Does anyone know what it was? (And FWIW - I see this exercise becoming the most-copied drum piece in the next few years. At the Houston Bowl, 2 different HS drumlines were already using it...) Mike
  19. Just a reminder - Please make sure that any clips or sites linked to here have their clips with permission of the authors. We can't allow links to sites that violate copyrights... :( Mike
  20. Aha - found the problem. It'll be fixed in a few minutes... Mike
  21. Not just you - it's been down... Mike
  22. Unless you know him and I'm missing the joke - that was completely uncalled for. Mike
  23. Snareline (note that it wraps around the corner of the form!) Snare Pic 1 Snareline 2 (the rest of them!) Snare Pic 2 Wow - lot of drums... Mike
