PC, right before you guys tune up for DCI finals week, you always look like a 11-13 place corps at the finals but what momentum you had is gone when you that 2-3 week break that comes in mid to late July. I 'm hoping this chances for 2006 and see you place in the top 12 instead of 17-19 place in the past. That 2-3 week break is just a killer but I know it's needed to clean things up. I hope the judges give your corps a break because this past summer at the DCI finals, it didn't happen. Success to 2006 PC.

Just what are the Pioneers suppose to play? Hip Hop!!! Good luck Pioneers for 2006.

A dark horse corps, the REVO if they go D2. Plenty of talent.

Please explain in 2002 when Revo won DIII, what kind of talent did they have to work with? They were only out for a couple of years and the talent level must of been top notch to pull this off. So, quit taking about the talent for the big name DCI corps being so superior to DII/III. It's size not talent that's made a big difference in Texas.

I was hoping that DCI & DCA could work things out for another show this up coming year in Madison but I guess it won't happen. Maybe the 2005 final's with Seniors wasn't a great sucess? Anyone have any insight as to why it's not happenings for 2006?

Watch Revo, in 2002 they won DCI D3 after only being out for a couple years. Look at the turn out for Nov. camp and that spells good news for Texas. Good luck in 06 to Revo & Trinity.

Haven't herd anything from this corps that didn't march over the past summer. Any news about their plans for 2006?

Did anyone else catch the comment about the Brooklyn Steppers Marching Band about they combined with the Cadets of NY drum corps, to march this event? One of the announcers mention this on NBC as they were performing. I thought the Cadets of NY had folded?

Looks like no top 5 Midwest or northern corps, touring CA or the Northwest in 2006.

Why beat up on this new corps who are trying to make a difference for the youth in AZ. Hope Jester have a successful summer in 2006.

Inknew thing were in trouble when last summer they would have shows with either no scores or some crazy scores that you couldn't figure out. But despite it's problems, DCM is still needed in todays drum corps activity.

Wasn't there a long trend about YEA putting together a drum corps thoughout some high school's? I believe it was suppose to happen in the east. I'm thinking NY or NJ but I haven't heard anything else about this project. Does anyone remember such a trend a couple of months ago?

I agree, Glassmen soloist from 01 & 02 I'm sorry just put him in the Hall of Fame. He was that good.

Jeff you are right. I remember back in the early 70's the only seniors out west were Mn Brass,Inc & The Spirit or Boys of 76. That was pretty much it..............maybe I'm missing someone else.

I remember back in 1972 at the World Open, I marched in a corps name the Diplomat-Lancers and we scored 19.45 which is not that bad after hearing about some of these score.

Now that you have 3 successful All Age corps out west, I wonder up until 5 years ago, what took so long for this to happen? With all of the great junior corps out west to chose from, one would think putting together a Senior Corps would be easy. But I guess not. I herd there's so much to do out west that after you age out, you just move on with your life...........marriage, career, school. I'm not from the west coast, so maybe someone better qualified, can answer about the drum corps enviroment out west. Help me out.

No word on LVK websight about 2006 current plans. Is it official they will not return any time soon?

Any word about Edmonton Strutters return to competition for 2006?

Welcome, glad to see a new corps trying to get started. Any word on the Scenic City/Statesmen project that was planning to return for 2006?

What will it take for in 2006 for thr Evil7 to take DCA in 2006? A top flight staff are now in place........great musicians also. So, what will it take to make it happen for 06? PS................going from 5th place to first is no big deal. Good luck guys next year.

I know theirs plenty talent in Texas but why don't the top 12 corps start having camps in states like Indiana, which has a lot of top high school band programs? That way corps in Texas can grow stronger, plus survive for years.

Do any of your members march with the Mandarins in the summer?

I thought Madison was coming back a couple years ago as a new competing DCA /DC Midwest corps?

With the new D3 limit of 79 members, I hope Revo moves up because in 05 they marched 76 members which was close to the limit. I'm expecting big things from Revo in 2006 so, maybe D2 especially, with all the talent in Texas.

If this is the case, Esperanza, Mandarins, Pioneers may have to march D2 for 2006 which is crazy. Is this one of the reasons ECJ wasn't givin D1 status?
