hey i know, while we are at it, lets rewrite all the history books too, wouldn't want children to think history is violent.

Thank you for ansewering my question, i've followed drum corps since 1987 and marched in 1990, but have never seen a tie for 12th in semi's creating a need for 13 finalist spots, so i really wasn't sure, this looks like a possible year to have it happen.

as close as madison is now to crossmen, is it possible to tie 12th place in semi's making 13 finalist? What happens in that case?

as close as madison is getting to crossmen, what happens in the event of a tie for 12th during semi's?

thank you so much, i remember the 5 man panel now, should have thought before i posted

Just a stupid question? I noticed from last night's recaps, color guard wasn't judged, are they being judged in later season after more work is done?

of all the really cool stuff in bluecoats show this year, wonderful brass licks, silent drill etc......... why did they chose the ballad and end of the show for the broadcast?????

ok all lets kill some time.... 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the blue devils organization for providing us the minute by minute updates and being so supportive of every corps. This has been a tremendous service to those of us in the east and mid west. This is one of the classiest things i've seen a corps do to accommadate DCI fans nation wide. I hope someone extends this courtisy to the west coast corps next year as all their fans won't be able to make finals either. Again thank you for a great job Blue Devils and GL tonight.

still no word on tonights panel???

sorry got home late, are the blue devils people doing the blog thing with pics again and what is the link?

i guess phantom, bluecoats, scv and crown had to march in crap then

when bluecoats get knocked in quarters and semi's, they fight like hell in finals and usually make a jump. its less then a point

so have bluecoats, always strong at the end

bluecoats hit 95? whatta you think?

yes crossmen are in semi's 16th, top 17 are semi finalist

Blue Stars, Academy, Spirit. Who is getting 12th and could one of them pass g men? Torn with who i want, Blue stars for old time sake, spirit cause they try so hard, or academy, i'm a sucker for the new guy lol. Can we tie 12 th

i don't think there is an awards ceromony for semi's either, but i could be mistaken

I think Academy is set in finals for pasadena, they are touring regularly from here on out and will be revising what needs revised. Oh and by the way. HONK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

DCI is treating Academy fairly, they are exercising their rights by the limited division 1 statas, manderins, pacific creast, capitol regiment do the same thing. Is the problem Academy is good. I welcome them to finalist statas, nice to see new faces. I would rather see corps with limited touring and be around for a long time. GO ACADEMY

thought it would be fun to predict how many corps will break 90 in san antonio. we have 7 corps very close and they are flip flopping captions nightly.

with 7 corps still all in the thick of things, how many 90's will we see in san antonio. Blue Devils, Cavaliers, Cadets, Phantom, Bluecoats, Santa Clara, and Crown are all still flip flopping captions nightly.

I'm glad to see DCI didn't hold their own rules against Academy. They are allowed to do Limited touring, but because of not doing atlanta, they aren't making them go first, glad they counted the california score for them so the don't go in at a disadvantage, i'd like to see academey in the top twelve cause i always enjoy new faces, but if they don't they have had a great run for first year in division one. Go Academy.

the ballads of coarse aren't as exciting, but can be really nice. Every show has to have some down time, not only for the performers, but the audience as well. If every moment was fast loud and high. The audience would lose interest. The slower more laid back moments in show are designed to make the big moments stand out more and be even more exciting.

Well, how is Academy not playing fairly. They happened to be good. Would you perfer they continue to spank division 2 and 3 and more then half of division 1. How about we make another corps fold because they aren't ready for division 1 full tour finacially. Futher more, how can you hammer academy when manderins, esperanza, pacific crest, and capitol regiment did the same thing. DCI allows this to allow corps who are competitively ready for division 1 the chance to compete on the proper level. Now before you continue to dazzel us with clever repiortee, please check your facts and let this corps achieve all that is in their reach. Go Academey!!!!!!!!!
