DCA 2008 Preliminaries Coverage


Recommended Posts

"... a HUGE THANK YOU to Jeff Demello of Demello Video and one of our DCPers, who's working hard to get the video shot, edited and put up on the server quickly. We have quite an operation setup here ....

Thanks again to DCA and BVP for letting this happen. Let them know how much you appreciate it.

This was great coverage today... servers are servers, and one day we'll see one that's diesel powered I guess... but a huge thanks to all of you. Jeff Demello... :worthy: Charlie Groh... :tongue:

Nice!

Seems a shame when there are only two left out. 12 open corps in finals would be good, wouldn't it????? 16 corps total? Good value for the money, I'd say!

Hate to sound cold-hearted, but there has to be a cutoff and there's always gonna be one very dissapointed corps on the other side. Otherwise there's no point in even having a prelims and finals.

There are practical considerations as well...the longer you make the show, the more people are going to show up late and not watch the first corps on. Hardly fair to them to bump them even earlier. Besides that, Alliance beat Kilties in prelims. Who would go on prior to whom?

As much as it sucks to be on the wrong side of the cutoff(been there, done that), having competition to make the big show on sunday is the best possible thing for the activity. Greater competition and motivation will raise the standard of quality of the corps fighting to get in...we've already seen this in Class A. It sucks that Kilties seem to always be the one looking in, but that will make the day that they break through that much more of an accomplishment.

I understand the logistics, but I've been there, done that too. Just feeling a little empathy for Kilties and MCL. It still sounds like a great line-up for tomorrow.

{PLACEHOLDER FOR THE CABALLEROS CLIP FROM PRELIMS}

We're still having some problems with the Cabs clip on the server. We'll get it up here - just as soon as its ready to go. However, there's no telling now when that will be. Our apologies, especially to the Cabs and their fans, for the delay.

You know what, John? It might be because there are a few old Muchachos in there. Rumor has it, they couldn't see their reflections in mirrors either. :tongue:
