normy diploome Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 With apologies to Letterman and Leno, Kimmel and crew… Many remember the 2008 Spartacus show by the Regiment when asst. DM* Koji Mori killed off Will Pitts on the podium. Funny coincidence is that Mori in Latin (so appropriate for Spartacus) means “to die” (mors, morte…like in mortician.) Always had great respect for Will Pitts who ended his DCI field career so loyal and flat on the ground bottoms up, knowing the crowd loved it; even more when he was dragged to the starting line for awards. (*ok, it’s Phantom: ”conductor.”) Is this life imitating art or art imitating life? Before the Gibopkins gauntlet was thrown to the DCI board, the one corps changed its show title from “Both Sides Now” (inclusive) to “Side by Side” (two separate identities, DCI and MIM) well , maybe that coincidence is an overthink. The corps from Ft. Mill has gotten a notorious nickname (Carolina Cloud) from many recent marchers since its home show so often is spoiled by stormy weather. (“Rainbeat” instead of “ Nightbeat” or “Firstbeat”.) The nickname certainly follows them to performances in many places, like the several non-shows in La Crosse and Jersey. And speaking of Ft. Mill, is it true that their super-secret winter camps and spring training is code named “Crown Moldings –Finishing Touches” ???? Could one say that to regain their finalist spot, the Blue Stars are resorting to Voodoo? Enjoy your Super Bowl commercials. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Ever have the feeling that one person has been creating a bunch of new accounts (against DCP rules) and foisting stuff like this upon us as of late? I ponder this because it seems every time something like this comes up, it's by some screen name that has just started posting. (I'm now going back to my lonely existence of looking for black helicopters in the sky.) Edited February 2, 2013 by Michael Boo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar82 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 A little trivia to add with regards to Ed Trautner. In the DCI era, the only year that DCI and the American Legion hosted their jr. corps championships in the same city was in Denver in 1977. The American Legion had hosted their events in Miami, Minneapolis, Houston, Seattle, Portland, and New Orleans during the 70's and was scheduled for Honolulu in 1973 which never occured probably due to the travel expense I assume.

And that's why DCI Finals was on Friday instead of Saturday, the night of the Legion Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
