cf144 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Or, "Now presenting their 2015 performance, DCI is proud to present, a bunch of Bluecoats!" That's better than a bunch of Turncoats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Obviously this thread is somewhat tongue in cheek, as it's not a huge deal. I just don't get why The Academy, Cadets, and Cavaliers get the "The" treatment, while other corps like Blue Devils, Blue Knights and Santa Clara Vanguard don't. Brandt says "the" in front of their names when announcing them. Just curious to me. Even still, "the" should not factor into alphabetizing.

Liahona Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't mean to nit-pick (okyeahsomaybeido), but can we please drop "the" from the beginning of corps' names please? Is there really any reason why The Academy and The Cadets and The Cavaliers are listed all the way down in The T's when looking for scores and such alphabetically? And thus ends my pointless rant of the evening.... I've always preferred the name "Holy Name Cadets" myself... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornTeacher Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I like "And now, presenting their 2015 presentation The Power of Ten, some Cadets!" Except that, if it were to be only some Cadets, then the show would probably have to change to "The Reduced Power of An Integer Less Than Ten."

HornTeacher Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm sorry, Serious... It may appear that we are having a joke at your expense. I assure you -- we are not. (And by the way...I share your pain totally with the problem of reconciling alphabetizing with research. It can be a REAL pain in the butt at times...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyt Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm The confused. It's a quote from the 80s comedy The! Airplane! starring the one and only The Leslie Nielsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
