general_tsos_chicken2 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Comments like the former make you the latter. isn't the 'former' true though? atleast for now? I wouldn't argue that this decade blue devils attract the most talent year after year, matched only by maybe the cavaliers maybe things will change soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 very different.Plus BD gets the talent than Madison can only DREAM of. I am glad madison made changes and they are good one's. PLEASE don't make me the bad guy here. I am excited but don't go overboard. besides DVD this team has not done anything in WC DCI in quite a while. don't drink ALL THE KOOL -AID - JUST SIP IT. Well, when you see who else is onboard I beleive your concerns will be minimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimedrummer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not afraid to predict that the Madison Scouts are about to open up a can on some folks over the next year or two. Agreed. I think the timing and boldness of these announcements indicates that there are many more shoes to drop, and that they are very serious about getting this right.

dmfootworks Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 isn't the 'former' true though? atleast for now? well lets be honest.. BD gets a very high level of talent, more than most corps out there. success breeds success. It may be true, or maybe they don't literally dream about it. I just think it's needlessly insensitive toward current members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You are correct, Jim did indeed play sop in 1975. SUPER! Somebody ask Jim Mason if he believes Madison was undefeated in 1975 haha sorry wrong topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstein Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Funniest email I received today: 9 years until the scouts announce that they are leaving Drum Corp to produce a broadway-style musical revue entitled “CRAP!” Seriously, the optimism here has been nice to see (although a bit over the top), but my hope for all the Scouts is that you are still enjoying a viable DCI corps in a decade. (I'll bet you will be. This has been Mason's dream job at least since his earliest days at Star.) Many of us aren't lucky enough to enjoy the same.

Scerpella Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The last time I checked Blue Stars burst back into the top 12 with much improved hornline and corps, and I got two words to describe Crowns hornline "Jim Ott". You might not want them looking like "Blue Stars or Crown" but you definitely want them to sound like them.My .02 ABB Of course I want excellence, but I don't want sameness. One used to be able to identify Scouts without even seeing them. BTW People forget that Ott arranged Madison's 1980 "Theyre playing our Song" show. Who knows, had he not met an untimely end he may have become to Scouts what Scott Boerma became. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmroth1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) I am looking forward to the new Jim mason drinking game, chug a beer each time he looks into the stands to see how the crowd is responding. Double chug if his hands are above his head. Now that's funny! I don't think that many people would get through the game without getting drunk.
