timberjock Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 fair enough...just going off of DCI's current info...good luck on the process from here out I would like to predict that the Colt Cadets will make Semi finals for the first time in their history. Considering that this corps is probably the youngest in avg. age it will be quite the accomplishment. they have made steady improvemnet over the last 3 years. About 10 of last years Cadets moved on to the Colts. Good Luck to all corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a class organization, who are doing exactly what Div II/III / Open class is all about. Best of luck this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndzoneEric Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ...who are doing exactly what Div II/III / Open class is all about. Just out of curiosity (and not trying to start a flame war), exactly what do you think that Open Class is "all about?" I always find those kinds of comments somewhat condescending toward Open Class corps. Isn't all of drum corps "all about" the pursuit of excellence?

Isn't all of drum corps "all about" the pursuit of excellence? Yes, Drum Corps is all about the pursuit of excellence. I didn't detect any intention otherwise, but rather the suggestion that Open class corps are all about training their members, and graduating them as sound fundamental players. I do believe Open class has a mandate to generate performers with a solid base upon which to further perform. Whether that be in a higher placing world class group, or a symphony, or wherever their talent takes them. With 10 of their members moving on to further develop their skills, it Sounds like that's exactly what the Colt Cadets are doing! again great job.

argonaut Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) The judges pick the end of the season ranking in March. Corps competes for the judge’s favor by offering them free vacations, cars, hookers, concert tickets or anything that might sway the judge’s opinion. I noticed that all of the judges last year were wearing Rolex watches with a certain corps insignia on it. The judges will be meeting in the Bahamas in March. You can usually look at the receipts for the judges meals and hotels to find out who is going to win at the end of the year. Ask your corps director if they are planning a trip to the Bahamas in March. If they say no, you can figure that your corps is not going to do very well this year. A high ranking corps can figure on 75% of their dues going for judge payola. Edited February 27, 2008 by argonaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to include single malt scotch and Cuban cigars, as well as tickets to the smash hit Broadway musical "Avenue Q." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring this up at our design meeting tomorrow night--no more design and education for us. From now on, it's sheer, hard-core bribery. This actually reminds me of the rumors I would hear back in the day when I marched. There were some crazy notions about how corps got their scores......

I remember listening to Fleetwood Mac back in the day, but I have a completely different take on that album. It’s funny when I hear people talk about actually having a design team. What really matters is bribery and plumage. If you look at successful drum corps, the correlation to winning and ample plumage is quite apparent.
