TenorsForWorldDomination Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I won't take the flame bait but the recaps and videos don't lie. Liz summed it up quite nicely as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taters Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I am going to speak for myself and not for the corps. However, I think a lot of people feel we are going to go out and do what we are going to do because we love it. We do a show because we like the way it makes us and hopefully the audience feel. Do we want to win ...sure...do we see that we are at a decided advantage...yep. However, I think the staff designs a show with winning in mind. We have even joked about making the corps as good as we can get it then going to "Burning Man" instead and just send a picture of us flipping everyone off to DCA instead, and that would not be too far off from our general all around attitude. That doesn't mean we are just going to lie down and take it either. We are always willing to take on a challenge. Finally , what we can't make up for in term of sheer entertainment and G Bugles. Well that's what the heck copious amounts of liquor are for!! See ya on the 50 yard line. Edited June 29, 2009 by taters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the general consensus is not meant to take a shot at the Renegades; in fact far from it. What the corps has managed to bring to DCA over the past 7 years has been nothing short of amazing, refreshing and entertaining. But most would have to agree that the corps has not been as clean as the eventual winner. Again, it's no disrespect... only one corps can win each year (with the obvious exception being another tie).

ContraRich77 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 As a member of the 2009 Renegades Drum & Bugle Corps, I have prepared the following statement: There's no such thing as bad publicity Best of luck to all the corps out there working our ##### off to give the crowd the best possible shows we are all capable of. Even though we all march in our own separate corps, I do tend to think of DCA as the one LARGER corps, the BIG picture of which we all are part of. Looking forward to seeing many of my eastern friends at Finals again this year! P.S. I LOVE Rochester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not offended...I have much thicker skin that that. I am just trying to explain my Personal opinion on why things are the way they are. True we may not be as clean, or as young as some of our competitors, and from a competition point we are at a decided disadvantage. However, it doesn't mean we cannot be in the hunt because what we lack in some areas we make up in fierce competitiveness and heart. also I think some peeps will be surprised in a good way at this year's show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarimbaManiac Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think it's in everyone's best interest to sever this tangent right now. A random person making a random comment about their OWN PERSONAL OPINION is no excuse to bash or otherwise tear down any corps. Let's get this back on track, 2009 Rankings. Thanks.
