I heard Fran Haring, the announcer in Scranton, say that the video would be put up sometime early in the week. Something about before Wednesday!! ????????????????? Not quite sure...

I'm sorry, but BD 2010 did NOT change drumcorps. It hasn't even been 2 years since that show (finals), so it's WAY too early to tell anything about that. Here are some shows that DID change drumcorps:
1981 Santa Clara Vanguard
1983 Garfield Cadets
1993 Star of Indiana
2002 Cavaliers
What. 76 Bridgemen. Didn't change Drum Corps???

Jersey Surf – Bridgemania. Was not sure what to expect with Kerchner and DeLucia doing junior corps again. It’s a very fun show, with little digression into schlock. The first 60% are from the B’men repertoire, then a couple of other pieces in the Bridgemen style. Opens with an extended “In the Stone” fanfare, then “Land of Make Believe.” The arrangements are modern without suffering from the complaints in the rant. Ballad from “Willy Wonka” is very pretty. Uniforms are the B’men coat style, but solid, uniform dark blue, even the hats. It actually works. A little shuffle, but they don’t overdo it, which was my fear when I heard the theme. Overall, fun to listen to, but not much drill (just like the real Bridgemen). It’s a better Surf than last year, for sure. Wonder what Bridgemen management thinks about the final piece with guard guys dancing and hamming it up on the 50 since they have often stated their opposition to men in the guard. Big standing-O, well deserved.
Thanks for review! I enjoy the entire show Being in the Bridgemen Alumni Corps, I have no problem with their show!!It is entertaining and interacting!! Love the fact that they are getting standing "o's" at every show. They have brought back FUN TO DRUM CORPS!!! HYPE!!!

The Banana sticks are inflatable, and can be reused at anytime.. I don't really think they could hurt anyone if hit with them.. Great idea for crowd interaction!!! GO SURF!! HYPE AND SHARE THE LOVE

No booing??? Obviously none of you ever attended the old Dream contest in Jersey City...
Absolutely correct!! I remember marching into the stadium and being booed back in the 70's. Sky's fans booed Cabs, and Cabs fans booed Sky! What a trip!!

Best wishes Ryan. A swift recovery from your injury.. Drum Corps certainly has taught us how to better ourselves and our corps! Trying to get off the field by himself was shear determination and a driven sense of dedication to his corps!! Kudos Ryan!!!

As far as the videos.. The group that does the USSBA shows, Steve Fastook, has done an outstanding job for some time now. I know he would be interested in doing DCA.

Some of us are also in Swing House.
Is there any way the line up can be tweeked to accomidate us?
I gues you will have to wear multiple layers of uniforms... LOL
That stage is hot and sweaty....

Geez Al... his lifelong dream was to stand between you and John Devlin? Why didn't he just stick his head in a running 747 engine? Same aural effect. John, anyway.
(before you get po'ed - I'm kidding - John and I go way back - I accidentally hit him square in the forehead with a flag pole in 1976. I think it might have resulted in his joining Cabs. (a little brain damaged, I believe.) (kidding again - mostly)
[/quote
Ray,
The flagpole incident had nothing to do with my leaving... It was funny... Painful but funny.
Imagine the loss of hearing he experienced that evening between me and AL.
You did get the brain damaged stuff right... If I wasn't, I would not still be doing this stuff with the Alumni..
Stay well Ray.. See you soon

Jim Arranged for the Cabs in 1980, having been in the corps only a few years in 1980 I was not privy to where all of the arrangements came from. I know he did "Malaguena" & Evita, I will see if we still have the charts.
We only had a few wonderful months with Jim before we lost him to the auto accident.
One of my all time best drum corps experience was at our first winter camp in 80. Jim came in for the weekend, We were getting ready to play Flamenco cha cha and Jim stop Jimmy Russo from starting the tune. He picked up a baritone ran into line stood between John Devlin and myself to play the second baritone parts of Flamenco. After we were done he was grinning from ear to ear, He told me it was his life long dream to play that number with the Caballeros
Al,
I will never forget that either... One of those ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCES!!!
I still miss him

Mike,
A little advice---
When the young man shows up at the door for your daughter's first date, be cleaning your shotgun, and say " I have NO PROBLEM going back to jail". Works every time....
Enjoy every minute of her life... It is too short and too precious..

OK, Now you went and did it... I had to watch it again.. ON A BIG 52" HD TV...
WOW! Almost as good as being there...
Thanks for the feedback on your feelings...
Marching Cabs Alumni gives me the opportunity to remember the days of Color Pre's, Great Company Fronts, and Ripping peoples faces off with your horn..
It just doesn't get any better than that.
Next Show---DCA Alumni Spectacular.. Labor Day Weekend... Rochester, NY---BE THERE!!!!!!
Hope the MSARP will be able to join us on the field some time.
That would be awesome!!!!
Be well and enjoy the moment

Where is DCI headed?
in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

I believe that Drum Corps will become a summer presentation of an umbrella corporation, such as Music and Color International! It will be merged with WGI, Sound Sport, Drumline and other music programs, ie: Concert Bands, Wind Ensembles, etc.. I think that was an original intent when DCI moved from Lombard to Indy! The first step of the master plan was to kiss up to BOA!! Well, here is the next step.. Trombones, French Horns, etc. It doesn't matter whether they are in the pit, Mic'd, or a full section on the field. The rule is in place now, and probably will never be rescinded! GOOD LUCK!! You won't be seeing me in the stands anymore~~ I'll support the corps that voted against this rule.. ALL THREE OF THEM!!!!
