Geoff Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't get it Geoff .. they're going to be in Prelims and make Semi's. Along with BDB and SCVC if they come. Which is great. But they are still an open class corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Sorry, but this is a little silly ... the context of the post, to me, was that an open class corps was competitive with and more entertaining than many world class corps - hence the relevance on the world class forum. Moderating for appropriateness and tone is one thing, but this wasn't really out of place unless you're waaaay pedantic ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Pedantic is my middle name. :) When the time comes that OC declares world class, we will happily allow posts regarding them in the world class forum. For now, they remain open class, so this is the forum for them. Edited July 22, 2012 by Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maestro! Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What seems silly is that 60% of the posts on this forum are an argument over why a topic about an Open Class Corps was moved from one forum to another. The reasons being what they may, it seems that what with people saying there aren't enough hot topics in the Open Class forum, this topic would be a great example to get people talking about those great performances from the Open Class. I personally have not seen the Crusaders, but if they are performing at a high level of achievement, then my hats off to them. Hopefully this particular thread can refocus on that great news!! Yay....drum corps!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Oregon Crusaders really looked sharp out there on the field! I really like what they're presenting this year, can't wait to see them compete against BDB and SCVC and everyone else. I think this could the year for the DCI trophy to go home to the Pacific Northwest. Anyone know when they'll all go head to head? Looks like Open Class could be even more of an exciting race this year than World Class. It will be very interesting to see how high these top Open Class corps can go when they compete in Prelims and Semis in August (yes I think they'll make Semis solidly) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRoud mom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 OC, BDB and SCVC all meet up in Paw Paw on July 28? Should be a great competition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishbonecav Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) moving the topic to the B section was a drag. conversation in the World section outnumbers it in the Open section by 24:1. Regardless, it's still drum corps and, with 64 horns and a killer show, i'd say OC is a "special circumstance"...that earned a little drum corps cred on Saturday. Why does dcp have to play the same game as dci? The little caste system game.....The moderator decided who gets to talk about what and where? ...and shuffled the conversation to the smaller audience. OC must be doing something right and a little buzz in the "big" conversation didnt seem like too much to ask. pe·dan·tic [puh-dan-tik] Show IPA adjective 1. ostentatious in one's learning. 2. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching.

Kamarag Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Which is great. But they are still an open class corps. So, you gonna move the threads out when Oregon kicks the collective arses of a couple World Class corps in Indy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
