Jeff Ream Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 surely you are not suggesting they didn't adjust or rehearse maybe 5 or 6 times as many hours as any of the competition,.............sure they toured some,..........but also worked their butts off to handily beat Bush, and close the gap tight on Cabs,..............but every senior corps would love the many full days of rehearsal leading up to finals,.................... sorry for trying to be reasonable........... well you know what logic does to those that believe the deck is stacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I feel it will come out alphabeticaly. 1-Bushwackers 2-Cadets 2 3-Corpsvets 4-Empire Statesmen 5-Fusion Core 6-Hawthorne 7-Hurricanes 8-Kidsgrove 9-Kilties 10-Minnesota Brass 11-Reading Buccanears 12-Renegades 13-Tampa Bay Thunder Of course the hard part was deciding between the town name and there corps name. Hawthorne was easy but got screwewd out of 4 spots. Hurricanes could have been Connecticut but most people call them Hurcs. It's just easier. Nobody called Bush, "Harrison", so they will not call them Princeton (unless they want). Cadet 2 will never be known as Holy Name and/or Garfield. Just like Bush noone calls CV, Empire, Fusion Core ( I really don't know where they are from anyway ),Kilties and Renegades by there town name. I assume Kidsgrove is the town name so they get pushed up 5 spots by not being Scouts. Of course Mn. Brass and Bucs really get screwed by useing State and town name. It's drum corps, it happens. Don't blame me, I did not invent the alphabet. Reading edges Renegades by a vowel. Tampa Bay and Thunder stay steady either way. I heard Argonne is starting a Sr. corps for 2013....hmmmm... Also the Govenaires are changing there name to Agovenaires Larry P Music Director (Agovenaires) You forgot Sunrisers - S comes before T tee hee, but maybe we went to different schools together, walking in the snow five miles, up hill both ways, with one shoe.

oldephard Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm pretty sure they are the "Allentown Cadets2", making them the 2012 DCA Champions!

LP Gov Love btw, Govs need 1 more good baritone, and 1 more kinda mediocre to lousy trumpet player(if you are good we will still include you ) I am not affiliated with Sun, so I can't speak to them, but they do practice about 2 miles from my house, I stopped by last weekend and that's my understanding. They definitely seemed larger than last year, although I didn't have enough fingers and toes to count 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 FACT: 2003 Inspires Prelims 87.80 2010 Kidsgrove Prelims 89.238 Pattern????? Predictable? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... 7 years apart and a difference of 1.438 is a predictable pattern... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBD Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ya know, go look at the recaps. it seems to me percussion held them back far more than any conspiracy. I know, I know, why use facts to ruin a perfectly good rant The one thing I miss the most after I retired is the late night,back room,closed door slotting conspiracy meeting all of us DCA Northeast directors used to attend before championships each year. I knew someone would figure it out one of these days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
