OMG that was fast!! we just inked the deal last month, and BAM!!
Donnie, thanks for the well-wishing! of course this means you won't be able to bring folks by our arc anymore to hear the G's!! Of course, you should still come by to say hello!!
I guess I better get busy converting the G book into Bb!!

CV... will answer what I can remember (should be close enough for Govt work)
16 Sops
8 Mello
8 Contra
10 Bari/Yoof
42 Brass
5 Snare
2 Tenor
5 Bass
6 Front Ensemble
18 Percussion
28 Guard
Total of 88 if I remember correctly.
I think it was 14 bari/euph's, and I'm pretty sure it was less than 28 guard.

Former home of The Charioteers!!!!
wow, nice call. That takes me back a few years. Charioteers had some pretty fine corps back in the day.

BULL CRAP .. coming back thru Atlanta on Sunday evening from Nashville.. stuck in it for about 30 minutes on I-75 from Northside Dr. to I-285... ask Dave H.. I was on the phone with him for most of it !!
Yea, 'tis true. Sounds like you're STILL p.o.'d. That must have been at the major restructuring that's going on at the downtown, 75/85 connector. It's going to be great when they open that new section, but it's gonna suck for a pretty good while. 30 minutes is actually getting off pretty easy.
BTW, Vic, are you sure you mant to move to ATL? The trick is finding a place near your work, so rush hour isn't a huge deal and you aren't fighting it every single day. also, Southside rush has really picked up in the last few years, but still is NOTHING compared to the northside.
Atlanta has the worst traffic in the history of the world, but I still loved living there.

Yeah, but not really during the weekends.
true, most weekends aren't as bad as rush hour during the week, but lots of times it can be. When they do construction projects, (which seems to be perpetual) on, or inside the perimeter, they often utilize nights/weekends because of the volume of week day traffic . This involves closing an interstate down to a single lane while they repave, or work bridge construction. Over the years, I have often been stuck in bumper to bumper, creepy crawly stuff at 2:00 am on a Sunday.
I remember how odd I thought it was the first time I noticed WSB had started continuing their traffic reports 24/7. Not long after that, I found out why the hard way. I missed the best bachelor party ever, sitting 2 1/2 hours on 285 N near Decatur, on a Friday night starting about midnight.

I'm sure it is, you masochist!
last set of the show, and who do you have jazz running backwards trying to sustain a FFF?
Bring it on.......but you could add that to your list along with the 'no more mixed meter' thing........seriously........
You sure you don't want the 3/16 -7/8 alternating meter I've got planned for next year's show: "Common Time. . .It's So Common"? back to the drawing board i guess.
-
hey Z,
its fun watching you hustle out there with the kids! keep it up!
-
But it is fun to sit back and theorize about it.
I totally agree!

Corpsvets 83.638
Music City Legend 79.375
Alliance 79.175 (0.8)
Gulf Coast Sound 70.813
If MCL and Alliance are within striking distance at -4.263 and -4.463 respectively behind CV . . .
3- 86.513 Hurricanes (Lawrence, MA 7/26)4- 85.852 Brigadiers (Waterloo, NY 8/2)
5- 85.538 Caballeros (Lawrence, MA 7/26)
6- 85.350 Minnesota Brass (Racine, WI 7/27)
7- 83.638 CorpsVets (Hendersonville, TN 8/2)
then might I suggest that CV is within striking distance of the Hurricanes at -2.875? None of you believe that is possible, frankly nor do I, which illustrates the point that the higher the scores go, and the more corps are crammed to a small range, the harder it is to make up ground.
CV welcomes healthy competition from our southern brethren, as it will make for a strong southern region, and will help all of our corps strive for higher levels of achievement at the national level. Having said that, I'm pretty sure my friends at Alliance and MCL understand that we at CV are focused on retaining our finalist position, and pushing to catch the corps right in front of us. Best of luck to all the DCAS corps in Rochester! May all 3 corps have their best placement ever!

Ed
Thank you for the kind words about CV's show. It is nice to know that people "get it" since it is such a departure from years past. We knew going in that we were taking some risks, but made a conscious decision to take a more serious approach to our programming, and its starting to pay off.
Scott, I thought you guys had a really good run. congrats on a great DCA debut!
Roman, if you're reading this thread, last night was my first real read on MCL. Man, you guys can blow! congrats on a big bounce in your number.

It is all interstate to Alpharetta so time-wise it is about the same
keep in mind though, that all depends on Atlanta's world famous traffic. a trip to Douglasville wouldn't include that, while a trip to Alpharetta would. Either way, get her to march! I'm sure our friends at Alliance would love to have her, as would we.

glad y'all enjoyed the pics.
great job as always Mike. Thanks.

Both Vis and Music GE judges expect there to be a level of coordination between the two. Seperate sheets allows for closer scrutiny of these captions, and hopefully higher quality feedback, by having a specialist from each caption.

I really have no clue since I have not seen them all season.
Alliance seems to get early season low marks and somehow at Championships pulls a high score out.Last year they were only a a few points down from the 10th, 11th and 12th place open class corps.
Maybe they are just doing the stealth thing this year and gonna wow everyone at championships.
It aint over till the fat lady pees in your cheerios.
ah, man. . . there goes breakfast! I got to see them at Milton, but the show wasn't finished and I was way out near the end zone. I didn't get to see them tonight, but I heard them from just outside the gate and they sounded pretty good from there.
-
DCI has them listed as exhibition only.They have been that way all year.I am guessing it has something to do with not meeting the 35 rule.
yea maybe that's it. one would thinkt the 35 rule would apply at DCA shows. Think maybe they are just choosing exhibition? Besides, I could swear they have 35. . . in the percussion section!! j/k, but it is a big drum line.

what about Alliance? They were at J'ville, too. any number for them?
