  1. Party? My creaky knees beg to differ with you. My 2 hardest seasons, 2003 and 2004 with the Cabs, were physically demanding. It's part of the reason I stopped marching, because I couldn't physically handle the demands anymore. But party? Oh hell no. And, just for equal disclosure - there are factions within DCA who are trying to get electronics passed.
  2. If Scott Stewart were running Madison, I'd say them. I lean towards Phantom for some reason.
  3. Well, that about clinches the argument for me. I will not attend a DCI show, unless a DCI corps happens to be at a DCA show. I'd like to know the 7 directors who voted against electronics and brass amplification, so I can find a way to support them. This is a sad, sad day.
  4. I wonder if DCI will have streaming audio/video from the site like last year.
  5. You'll have a hard time getting the borg to admit this is a possibility.
  6. Then create a separate division within DCI to have these. That will solve the problem for certain. I love ya Mike, but your blanket support for all of Hoppy's desires has be bewildered.
  7. Orchestrate his Borg. Unfortunately, if Hoppy alienates the fans enough, he'll have a rude awakening when they stop coming. Then it'll be tough #### for him, and I won't feel the least bit sorry for him, but I'll be sorely disappointed for the kids who won't be able to march, due to the ever increasing "tuition" that the corps will be forced to charge because fan revenue is dwindling.
  8. I'd love to know what Hoppy promises these directors to get them to go along with these half brained ideas.
  9. Hoppy is single-handedly ruining drum corps. He should take his corps and start his own circuit, and let DCI do what they did for years - Entertain
  10. It was at the Waterbury show. It rained all day (surprised?) and the show was made an exhibition only show. And yes, it pretty much happened like that. Way cool :)
  11. I guess the silence on this means that no changes are coming?
  12. Now what's funny is this - I use DCP at work and at home, and I never have to re-login. I certainly have a different IP at work than I do at home.
  13. I received this via text message this morning, and this is the first chance I've gotten to a computer. Konga kept me from going crazy during the 2002 season, and for that I'm forever grateful. RIP Konga - I'll miss you, along with the rest of the Skyliner family. Sean, take good care of him, will ya?
  14. Over the past several years, since September 11, 2001, DCP has posted a tribute that was created to commemerate the 1st anniversary of this tragic day. With this sad day again falling on a Tuesday, can the powers that be here on DCP please find and post a link to this tribute? It would be appreciated by a great many of us. Thank you.
  15. Bad taste is an understatement. The narration just grated me...when I heard the whole show in Allentown, and when I saw it last night on TV. I actually told the TV to shaddap and play, but it didn't listen.
  16. Yeah I know that Still would have preferred whole shows, but that hasn't happened since 2000. I will admit that they way it was cut you'd never know the shows were cut, and I'll give 'em props for that.
  17. I want the cadets to be the kick ### corps they were up until 2000, not the namby pamby artsy fartsy narration making corps they are now.
  18. This brass player is still completely lost. But that's OK, I'll take your word for it! :P
  19. I forgot the broadcast was on until I was surfing before I went to bed and caught it. ESPN didn't do that poor of a job, although I certainly would have preferred to see the whole shows. (I found it when Phantom started Firebird!)
  20. GOD I LOVE THE FRIDAY BEFORE DCA FINALS!!!!!! (How the hell did I get shanghaied into doing this 3x this week?!?)
  21. I'd love to see Tom P post that story. Tom? You lurking about?
  22. GOD I LOVE THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE DCA FINALS!!!
  23. My eyes will never recover. That photo should be against guidelines.
  24. GOD I LOVE THE TUESDAY BEFORE DCA FINALS!!!
