My eyes are getting so bad, I'm beginning to feel like a mole.
-
I thought the Cadets weren't changing their uniforms. Now they're revealing the new unis on 5/19? What did I miss in between?
-
If I could be granted one drum corps wish, it's that the Blue Devils would lose the white stripes on the unis.
-
So... my Fan Network subscription expires in two weeks, but we haven't heard anything about the new year? Argh - par for the course - FN is sometimes cursed.
-
Not corps related - UEFA sticks a microphone under Jose Mourhino's nose after losing a heated game and then gets mad when he pops off. Unreal.

With the fractured state of politics in Spain (much worse then in the US because it is mostly based around ethnic, regional, and language differences) it would never be surprising to me to see a Spanish ref favor Barca if he is Catalan (people from the Barcelona region) rather then Castillian (people from the Madrid region). That being said...I don't know where the ref is from.

Has their been a true marching drum innovation since the first free floaters in '89/90?
-
The more I think about it, the more I like Madison with the white ties rather than the neckerchiefs.
-
Can now play the Cavaliers 2002 closer on snare. Kind of a specialized party trick, as party tricks go, I know...
-
I don't follow WGI percussion all that closely - who are the World heavy hitters this year?
-
After browsing YouTube, Crown's 2010 drumline may be the most chronicled DCI line ever, in sheer number of videos.
-
Paradiddle-diddles: the bane of modern field percussion.
-
I am absurdly excited about the Blue Devils this year. First time in many moons.
-
Tama's tenor drum crutches are ... kind of silly, really.
-
Just bought my DCI-Austin (Round Rock) tickets - row 12 on the 50. Woohoo!
-
Tama's marching snares look interesting, but the snare assemblies seem, if anything, *over*built.
-
Been buying the Carolina Crown studio recording, one song at a time. 3/5 of the way done now. I wish they hadn't pulled their older ones; I'd like those too.
-
Been tapping out the Frameworks/Rhythm valve-tapping melody on my computer keyboard (1-&-4-&-3-4) all day...
-
Being an Arsenal (soccer) fan is like being a Cadets fan. They both have unconventional strategies that many folks don't agree with, and they keep getting reminded they haven't won anything since 2005...

I have been watching Palladia a ton lately. I'm surprised by how good a live show both Coldplay and The Killers put on.
