  1. Just a reminder, here's the current score benchmarks for tonight's scores to improve their Prelims seeding:

    Santa Clara Vanguard must beat Bluecoats by more than 1.25 to advance.
    Blue Knights must beat Santa Clara Vanguard by more than 5.725 to advance.
    The Cavaliers must beat Blue Knights by more than 2.4 to advance.
    Blue Stars must beat Boston Crusaders by more than 1.25 to advance.
    The Academy must beat Colts by more than 2.4 to advance.
    Spirit of Atlanta must beat The Academy by more than 4.65 to advance.
    Mandarins must beat Oregon Crusaders by more than 0.075 to advance.
    Cascades must beat Pacific Crest by more than 7.85 to advance.
    Pioneer must beat Jersey Surf by more than 9.55 to advance.

    Are prelim times still based on scores from San Antonio, Atlanta and Allentown?

  3. How long was the video available to watch?

    Was the link completely removed after scores were announced?

    I watched a little of the show ... fast forwarded and reversed during the actual broadcast.

    Would be nice if they gave us 24 hours to watch the complete broadcast ... :-)

  4. First of all, I’m a long time Cadet Fan and a Cadet Financial Supporter …

    That said, when I saw The Bluecoats in the theater back in June, I personally hoped they would take the Gold. A show like theirs is the reason why I became a Drum Corps Fan … so much there to enjoy … so much excitement.

    You have to be kidding yourself if you think it didn’t sting. The Cadet members have been told all season long they were Silver, but on the final night of the season they weren’t.

    I just went back and watch the announcement of their score, and you can see the guard members’ faces. There were few cheers for the Cadets … all you hear Bloooo! And to be honest, I’m not surprised.

    If you have been around the activity for a long time, you know Cadets have leaped over other Corps during Championships … and vice versa … It’s just part of the game … the nature of competition.

    There are many accomplishments for The 2014 Cadets …

    1. They broke the even year drought of not making the top 3 ... last time they made the top 3 during an even year was 2002.

    2. They went undefeated against Carolina Crown … last time that happened was 2007.

    3. The Cadets guard moved from being the Corps’ biggest weakness to one of the Corps’ strengths.

    So, Congratulation to the 2014 Cadets! Be proud!

  7. Glad other folks do this as well ...

    All Corps get $10 from me no matter if I want an item or not ... and I never ask for change ...

    For all the collector types out there like me, buy a lapel pin from each corps ... always around $5 ... and start your own personal DCI collection.

    Be sure to stop by and visit with Forrest at his Drum Corps Miniatures booth.

  8. What would you be willing to pay for a ticket to the theaters for finals night?

    What would you be willing to pay to stream it on your computer?

    At the Theater on a Friday night will not happen ... because of busy movie weekends ...

    But i would pay $50.00

    Finals at home?

    $100.00, maybe more ...

    We've attended all the Championships since the movie to Indy/Bloomington. Honestly, I don't see us going back next year ...

    It's a taking time off issue for me ... with work reducing how much PTO we can carry into the next year and aging parents, I need to use my time off wisely.

    Yep. You heard it here first. I love what George has put on the field again this year. I really like Christmas and I really think that the Cadets are really wonderful and I like how they are all working so hard.

    If you disagree you can just stick it.
