Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) then i'll say it again...stay the #### home Now who's got the serous sense of entitlement? I don't agree with you, so we don't want you as a fan, and "stay the #### home". Nice Jeff - very classy, spoken as a true ambassador of the activity...

Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I said that too...he ignored it No, didn't ignore it - at least it was a legitimate suggestion instead of "stay the #### home", we don't want you. Just looking for an actual reason why many show announcements were really delayed this year compared to last year, and so far there has only been speculation.

Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Geez, people are sure taking summer marching band overly serious aren't they? Guys, don't worry about it. If the Blue Knights wants to wait until their first show to announce, more power to them. Madison still hasn't fully announced a rep, and people aren't crying over that. Usually, we're waiting on the Blue Devils to announce last, usually around the time of move-ins. In 2010, Madison didn't even have a title to their show. Does that mean people shouldn't have gone to go see it, because they didn't know what it was called? NO! That would be stupid. I don't honestly know where people got this crazy sense of entitlement to know exactly what every corps is doing at every moment, maybe that's why some corps are traveling away from their home bases for pre-tour to stop people from spying on their shows and how they develop? The first shows occur in three weeks, right? Blue Knights first show is on June 18th. Either it will be announced on that day or before it. If they want to wait, that's their decision to make. Guys, as much as we try and paint ourselves as some high class art-form, we're still just a summer marching band sans the woodwinds. Just take a deep breath and relax I totally agree with "as much as we try and paint ourselves as some high class art-form, we're still just a summer marching band sans the woodwinds. Just take a deep breath and relax". I think Michael J. Cesario said it best last year when he said that this activity plays arrangements of classical music on a football field, and a lot of times not even on an outdoor football field. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 he must have given me a red mark..lol....im hurt..lol......guess some dont really want reasons when they ask UNLESS its what they want to hear. No worries, didn't give a red mark - don't even care about what a red mark means on here. You haven't given any real reasons why show announcements have gotten delayed so much more this year. You gave speculation and a suggestion to write a corps director to try and find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 idk... I care more about the corps that appear to care more about the fans. I don't feel "entitled" to information even though I wish some corps were more open and engaging. Also, I think everyone here has legitimate ideas and hopes for drum corps and asking them to "take a deep breath and relax" makes DCP a pretty useless place. Why can't we as fans ask more of drum corps? Is that taboo? I sure as hell don't care that Blue Knights and some others haven't announced their shows and it doesn't effect me in the slightest! however, maybe that's not exactly a good thing... Totally agree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I agree..., I think its great if corps want to announce BUT, if they choose for whatever reason not to, ( Not wanting a debate on their decisions before they go out....surprise factor, or whatever ) thats no reason to stomp our feet like a spoiled child and scream that ( I SHOULD KNOW, WHY ARE YOU DOIN THIS,LOL, I have the right )JMO Never said any of that - just curious about the change that's all. I'll still go see Finals this year, I'll still enjoy the shows, and above all, I'll still sleep at night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickhaltsforlife Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I really haven't noticed that big of a difference from this year to last year to tell the truth. Really only one corps that's different and that's blue knights. Like I said before no big deal. It is nice when corps are open about things though. Some corps take themselves way to seriously... as do some of us fans... So whatever... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
