Weren't the Blue Eagles from Wind Gap BITD?

Muchachos are from Manchester, NH NY Lancers had nothing to do with CMCC Warriors. They came in 2nd at the World Open Class B 2 years in a row, 78 and 79. Very strong corps.

I like melodies.

PR 2005 Gershwin - My fav of the decade, doesn't seem to get a lot of love here.

'84 all the way

...people feel the need to start a thread titled "You know drum corps is dying when.........."

What flavor?

Agreed...the corps should be more thoughtful of us fat, aging, legacy fans....

Yes "R&D" could have this effect.

Lot's of stuff on Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints that could translate well onto the field.

Gotta love the line about how impressed they are with eachother.....

Too late to say that this guy is the canary in the coal mine. BITD you might know very little about the activity but you could remember a melody or two that you liked and walk out tapping your toes or humming a tune. It is often said that years later one remembers most how something made them feel. I wonder how our activity matches up in that regard today. This year the Houston Symphony is offering free tickets to one of each of its first 4 performances in the hopes of grabbing some more subscribers.

On a side note... Just a couple of years back GH was panned for that moving/playing start to the show. Like it nor not now everyone is doing it.

The last minute of this years show was championship material. If only the first 9 minutes were...

You reveal your own bias with this statement.

Great job at the top of the range!!!!

I tihnk the best that we can ask for at this point is that DCI review the incident, the procedures that were followed and take steps to insure that said procedures are sufficient moving forward.

Maybe the current scoring system is no longer capable of drawing meaningful distinctions between performances.

One of the best posts ever on DCP.

DCI needs to poll those fans that booed and find out why.

Lot's of clips of Star United Mini-Corps on line. A smaller but just as tasty version of what we witnessed last night.

I wonder about the reverse. How would a show like Spirit or Colts of today do 10-15 years ago?

Now I understand why being a member of the G7 is so expensive

Wonder how many might stay with DCI in the hopes of getting a title. Could motivate many to audtion for the Blue Stars, BAC, etc.... that might not have previously.

B: Ego (everyone likes a title)
