I hope you all realize that for several of these corps, the uniforms literally just arrived. There was not ample time for fittings - just getting them in the field was close to a miracle.

I like Jurasic Lancer's taste in drum corps! Those would be my picks as well: 1984 Garfield Cadets 1991 Star of Indiana 2013 Carolina Crown

Yes, the Bb French horns sound like the 2V G French horns - just in a different key, and their tuning is a lot better. I marched on a 2V G French horn for several years, and I now have a 3V Bb French horn. The 3V Bb French horn plays surprisingly well (slots are good, tuning is good), sounds good, and projects really well.

Tried it once, and it went over like a lead balloon. The staff members of the corps had zero interest in even discussing this for a vote.

Prelims and Semifinals

A couple of great seats just became available.

As I understand it (Dan Acheson explained this at a meeting for Board Members of the corps last April), DCI plans to continue to offer CDs and DVD/Blue-ray for the time being, as there are a decent number of folks like myself that buy them every year. DCI was selling DVDs/Blu-rays at the past couple of regionals.

Call me a tech dino, but this is why I have been buying the CDs and DVDs/Blu-rays every year. I do not trust that VoD will always be available. I am not alone, as a decent amount of CDs/DVD/Blu-ray are sold annually by DCI. I do not expect this will change in the near term.

Updated - 2 tickets remaining.

Howdy neighbor! (Potomac Falls here - drive through Reston daily on my way to work).

Well, NoVA actually. Potomac Falls, and I work in Tysons Corner. I worked downtown when I moved here 10 years ago.

Nope. I'm right there with you.

Me too!
