bearwy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yea, I definitely agree. I think one of the greatest things about most DCI shows is that the shows get better as the night progresses. Troopers will be a significant step down. What are you talking about? The Troopers are still a crowd favorite. Step down? I think not.

SFZFAN Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have to say I have enjoyed this thread more than any other I've read in years. I've spent years watching Troop get bad draw after bad draw after bad draw at regional competitions. This always results in shorter practice time for a drum corps that is trying to move up in the standings. Now everybody is all wound up about how long Troop goes on after Scouts. I admit that I'm very excited to know that there is potentially 2.5 more hours available to polish their show compared to Scouts. I sure hope they are able to capitalize on that opportunity. The thing that drives me nuts is that so many fans on here act like it is some crime that they are suddenly going to be stuck with less rehearsal time (for one day), as if their beloved corps has a devine right to get more practice time than corps who have been struggling with that disadvantage for several years. For all those who have their undies in a bunch over the performance order, I say "Grow up & stop expecting the world to give your favorite corps special treatment." Remember, everybody knew the method for determining performance order. If your corps didn't place high enough, maybe they should have worked harder through the first part of the season. Troop has been working hard to methodically increase their competitive level for several years. And it's quite funny to watch some of you freak out at the idea that maybe Troop could finally be good enough to move past some traditional finalist corps. Just looks like sour grapes to me. And I'm loving every second of it. Nice rant but this week's scores clearly show Troopers should be performing much earlier in the day. It won't matter in the end though as their scores tomorrow will be about the same or lower than the rest of this week. Just like everyone else's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 when Troopers go on multiple hours after their closest competition... I think the scores from yesterday will feature heavily in the judges minds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they rent a cook trailer? Anybody know? I did read about some cook moms volunteering for them but nothing about equipment.

KVG_DC Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I imagine they use their mouths. Just cause they're Dutch doesn't make them that strange! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 So is this the official SA thread? May as well be. It's already 14 pages long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I am assuming that it is... Since it has the show time at the start of the thread. I can't wait until tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 If Jubal would come to the west coast I would volunteer for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
