MikeD Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If memory serves me, the Cadets did do their field show in its entirety at the Olympics - and on a field with no lines or hash marks - and then did the humor bit with Bill Irwin afterward. The other thing to remember is that the 'headliner' was Bill Irwin and his clown-schtick. The Cadets were the supporting act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplattSCV Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I wonder how many people had that same thought last night during the closing ceremony? Get an "All-Star" group to do a show, then have the top 12 corps come in to do "America."Not "America/O Canada"......just "America." Instead of just the United States and Canada, they could do a medley of every national anthem. 2 or 3 seconds from each nation forcibly crammed together into a 4 minute medley. It doesn't have to make any sense if its patriotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 How cool would it be to see corps from all over the US participate in the opening ceremonies after DCI Finals? Imagine leaving Indianapolis (if DCI is there in 2016) heading to the stadium for the Opening ceremonies for rehearsal. Then DCI in front of THE WORLD!I know it's a cool idea but some may find fault. If Chicago gets the games, they could modify some of the events...like these: The St Valentine's marksmenship event. The cement overshoes 100 M hurdles.

silvertrombone Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sounds good, OP! Might be better to have just one...kind of like Cadets in 96 in Atlanta. BTW...20 years between the Olympics in USA? Geez...didn't the IOC see how much interest the Olympics generated (not to mention money!) in USA? I doubt any other country, including CHINA generated as much money for the Games as did the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
