Feburary 11 - Chinese New Years Parade
mikemey replied to drumlaw80's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
This was a blast. If you can, go do it. I want to, but don't think I can swing it $$$ wise. -

Rochester stadium looking finished!

I went to the one in NYC last year and had a blast. I'm a soprano and mello player, and had no problems playing a baritone. I got a little tired at the end of the day, but that's to be expected. I wish I could go this year. :(

Cadets Macy's Performance
mikemey replied to BeachDrums's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
They were clearly the best musical unit there today. The hornline was on fire, and didn't have the intonation issues the other bands did. Very nice. :) -
Can a top rated band beat a....top......21 corps
mikemey replied to Blackstar's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This is a tough call. BOA isn't that big of a deal out here in the East. We follow USSBA and TOB, and, to a lesser extent, NYSFBC. All 3 circuits have great programs. All 3 circuits top 5 programs are forces to be reckoned with and are the prides of their schools. I've seen the 'BOA' ready schools in TOB and USSBA. I don't like the programs they put out. They're more artsy and abstract, which is something I don't like to see on a football field. Maybe that's the way BOA judging sheets are written, I don't know. But I see BOA, and I want to go to sleep, based on what I've seen out here. I've not seen the Grand Nationals, so my own sample is skewed regarding BOA. But, don't get me wrong, the kids are extremely talented, and good at what they do. COULD they take on a Division I program? Maybe. IF, and only if, you leveled the playing field. If you cut down a top BOA to DCI levels, you might see them take out 18-21, but that's about it. I also agree with those that state DCI drumlines would blow away high school drumlines. DCI drumlines are a whole separate universe. We need bands and drum corps to coexist. It's the best of both worlds. :) -
Lessee...All expenses paid... DCA - where's the sign up sheet DCI - before Amps yes, now, not so sure. USSBA - Yawn TOB - Yes BOA - Yawn BOA: I want to see MARCHING BAND, not this production that reminds me of a broadway show. USSBA: They're in Jersey usually, or Allentown, which is in easy driving distance, so the expenses aren't so much the issue, just I don't like all the amps and pagentry and stuff. I want in your face marching and playing. TOB: Closest this comes to what I want.

My review of Class A

There are right ways and wrong ways to say things like this. This, sir, is assuredly the wrong way. -
Clear all your cookies and your cache. Run the setup to firefox again. If necessary, uninstall and reinstall firefox. Other than that, not much else I can suggest. I'm using firefox and it's working great! b**bs

Clarification of changes.
mikemey replied to Blue Devil Legend's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
You have no idea what went on regarding the changes made. None of you do. Did you actually think we woke up yesterday and just said "Lets see how we can screw with users?" Please. -
Clarification of changes.
mikemey replied to Blue Devil Legend's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Input is always accepted Lisa, but no, the users do not have to be consulted for any changes. And, when said moderator receives 2 PMs from a user blasting him and basically being inconsiderate, you can believe that moderator might be a touch short with said user, donor or not. -

I think Lee Rudnicki owes me beverages at the next 10 DCA finals for all the headaches he causes me.

The sooner that EVERYONE realized that DCP is a constant work in progress, and that we WILL try changes to make things easier to find and better to follow, the happier EVERYONE will be. And yes, that was deliberate.

You know, after seeing all this uproar about one silly little change, I have this to say... I sure wouldn't want to see you when something that matters gets changed. -
Junior/Senior Corps Announcements discussion.
mikemey replied to gdisney's topic in DCP Member Service Center
I think some of you aren't understanding... You can post your announcements in the General forum. However, there will be NO discussion of them in the General Forum. That's what the Clubhouse forums are for. Which is why we are suggesting you post it twice. That way, we can provide a speedy link for those people who wanna chit chat about it. Its not that difficult, really. -

mikemey replied to gdisney's topic in DCP Member Service Center
The clubhouses are not hidden, nor are they inaccessable. We're not saying you cannot make an announcement in the general forum, we're saying that your announcement in the general forum will be read only. If you wish to have discussion, then that will be confined to the clubhouse forums. -
