Mike McMullen Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) BD has the most god awful show I've ever seen out of a potential champion. Some day they'll be a drum corps again. And march. And play. And march and play. Couldn't agree more. Edited August 6, 2012 by Mike McMullen 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) bathrooms were pretty sweet. And I love having a young man hand me towels after I wash my hands. In NY- Jersey they charge people $7.50 for a bottle of coke, $5-6 bucks for bottled water. You drink it down, go pee, a guy gives you a towel after you wash your hands and you think " hey, this is pretty sweet ". I say.. give me 3.50 cokes, 2 buck bottled water, and I'll dry my own hands in the bathroom after I go thank you very much.

RickiJay Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Liahona, We were there and missed the announcement, can you belive it??? We were under shelter after they emptied out the stadium due to the weather, when I got a phone call from Holly who is with DCI. The plan was for her to come to us in the stands right after the Cavies and she was going to introduce us and I would then wish my wife a very Happy 40th Anniversary along with 7,000 of our closest friends, blah, blah,blah.... Well she explained that because of the weather, the plan was scratched and the powers that be, decided that it couldn't be done. MORE THAN REASONABLE, IT WAS A VERY RESPONSIBLE DECISION. I agreed with Holly and thanked her very very much for the attempt. It was very noisy and hrad for me to hear, but I thought she may have said something about a possible annoucement so I decided to stay, meanwhile I was trying to explain who Holly was and why I the conversation was taking place, well, I straightened that out, but I didn't tell her about the possible announcement mostly because I wasn't sure, We sat and enjoyed the rest of the show until the idiotic delay by Phantom to get on the field while the audience sat in the rain, I voiced my opinion and was verbally attacked by three guys who had to much to drink and I could see trouble coming. So we got up and went to stand under the stadium for the rest of the evening and we couldn't hear any announcements. Sorry for this painfully long post, I just wanted to thank Holly & everyone from DCI who tried to pull this off. YES it did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1223 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Then it's pretty magical how I CLEARLY heard the mello solo come out of BOTH amps .... overpowering everything else on the field including the pit. Just sayin. I was dead on the 50 in row 29. It was clear as a bell.... especially when the soloist is on the 50 and you're getting the sound in Stereo from the 35's. I hope you aren't talking about MetLife stadium. Cavies didn't even bring their electronics onto the field! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn State Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just got another text from scvanguard: "The show has started, but will be exhibition due to continued rain. Scvanguard at the gate & up next" This bothered me...anyone remember remember Parade of Champions show in Kingston last year. Yeah, I know I'm talking DCA but if the Caballeros could run around in a down poor and be judged why not the junior corps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle B Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There was a chance of lightning the entire night. My thoughts are they didn't want to have it judged in case they had to end the show early. That's my best guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How odd to not see my son on the field. How did they open the show? I was wondering that too...maybe he had to sing his part : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this the same day that someone got hit & killed (6 others hurt) by lightning at the NASCAR race at Pocono? Seems like it was a call on the safe side.
