Crown 2004: Everyone has AIDS

.

I doubt the Cadets Alumni would be able to pull a group together so quickly. Some of the previous alumni projects that have performed at finals were several years in the making.

Will there be any alumni corps performance at the 2009 finals week?

There are a select number of shows every season where the performance order is switched around to give lower groups a chance to perform at night.

From Star's website: "After a public performance in 1992, the group's leadership decided it wanted to do more than entertain the public with a 10-minute drum corps routine. After completing the 1993 competitive season, Star left the field of drum and bugle corps competition and changed its focus to develop a new concept in brass and percussion performance. By using the powerful instrumental music and precise choreography of a drum corps to reinterpret everything from Broadway and popular movie musicals to classical music compositions, Star of Indiana created a new kind of stage show that appeals to audiences of all ages. The result was a highly successful ten-city tour in the summer of 1994 featuring Star of Indiana with The Canadian Brass, the world's best-known brass quintet. Named "Brass Theater," this tour-de-force of musical virtuosity took audiences and critics by storm."

It's a fun inside joke that anyone who has had any involvement with the Cadets over the past three years will enjoy. Keep in mind that All-Access is directed chiefly at parents of marching members and people who personally interact with the corps.

I took a serving of GNC's Wheybolic Extreme 60 every day last summer and it worked great. In the off season, I've been adding L-Glutamine powder to the protein shakes and that's been fantastic, so I'll keep that up over tour as well. L-Glutamine helps with protein synthesis and boosts your immune system. GNC will have everything you're looking for.

The perfect season had been achieved before in DCI, so I think the novelty of a group losing finals after winning every show during the season would be exciting. What would the Cadets 2000 season qualify as?

I agree, great moment to be a part of. Watch the 2004 finals DVD, the drum break, the outline cross to the end is great drum corps.

I was just on ESPN.com and they had a really neat spot on all of the different Super Bowl rings ESPN Super Bowl Rings I think it would be a great photo gallery for the DCI website to catalog every winning corps ring. So let's get the process started here, post any ring pictures you have and be sure to date them.

Wasn't the Eastern Classic at the University of Pennsylvania while J Birney Crum was being renovated? As much as I love the field and recognize the time honored tradition of DCI East in Allentown, I think a new location should be considered since the top rows of seats are permanently condemned.

You could always just tape down the third valve on your Bb horn.

Technically, the tick system was abandoned so that corps could be score based on achievement. I think that numbers management today is focused more on the difference between groups than their achievement on a score of 0-100. Take Semi-finals 2004, BD got a perfect score in brass, but that was a reflection of their superior brass performance to the Cavaliers rather than them being perfect.

Just to buffet this response, I think the best argument for amps is that members of the pit no longer have to exercise improper playing technique in order to get the volume necessary to be heard over the corps proper.

I believe the real motivation for raising the limit to 150 was to max out bus capacity. Most corps rent buses instead of owning them and 135 members left several blank seats, which I guess must have seemed like enough of an inefficiency that the member cap was raised.

This past summer a Southwind tuba failed to make it's way onto the equipment truck after a show and The Cadets graciously rescued and returned the stray horn.

Although 150 sounds really big, it's only 15 more members. Several top horn lines have been using 72 brass for the past couple seasons. I would expect to see the greatest increase in color guard and then any remainders distributed chiefly amongst the pit and battery.
