"OMG the guard looks so young. like they are all middle schoolers". turns out they were peeking in at the C2 guard. cracked me up. Staff pretty happy with guard turnout. Numbers and talent strong. That's a blessing after last season and could have been a problem. Hoping they're given a great product now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the information is incomplete, but it's actually ALL been true so far. just checked in to the "crown brass to boston" story -- one kid did go there. he was an alternate for 2 years at crown / never saw the field. also had someone text me " one perc followed colin from cadets to boston". so...yeah. you hear crazy stuff from all sorts on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) So to summarize... everybody here is happy with their Corps staffs, their marcher talent levels brought in, retention levels, their Corps morale, and with this, their Corps likely improved opportunities now to improve their show designs, their potential for improved scores, their Corps chances for better audience appeal of their shows, and their Corps brand with the public, and so forth. So as near as I can tell then its all good tonite .... and thats most certainly an encouraging relief for myself and no doubt all of us to hear. Great ! I'm looking forward to some great shows and some great competition this summer among all these DCI Corps... Open Class Division included as well !. We are almost there folks !

cadet93 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 2 hours ago, George Dixon said: absolutely not a very small number of drummers, 0 guard (that I'm aware of) and 2 or 3 brass As far as Crown guard I've heard about 15-18 left with the staff for Crown but they have another sizable set of vets plus some great folks at auditions sounds like all 3 corps should be fine Not to be mean, but the Cadets guard members from last year probably wouldn't make a Townsend guard. There are exceptions of course. But the talent level just hasn't been there the past couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design probably the biggest factor. 2014 Cadets were second in guard and many returned in 2015 and placed 5th? Talent plentiful. Most guard members in WGI winter programs now. All pretty talented. This year more vets in Cadets guard and John, Eric and company pulled even better stock over to Cadets. Should be a much better Cadet Guard in 2017 due to better book.

More Cadets Brass to Crown than anywhere else. (4). BD got (2). Very few followed Gino to Boston. Most vets just sitting out and I suspect you may get a few jumping back to Cadets if spots open due to injury. No offense but if they were leaving Cadets, it was going to be for a top corps. BAC will be strong IMO this season, but not top 3. I think we see BAC become a threat to top 5 in 2018. Certainly laying the foundation to become a powerhouse.

Its disgraceful to single out a performer of a Corps... any Corps... and say something as undeniably mean spirited as this. I hope this young performer does not read this here on DCP, as you have just publically humiliated him. There.. is... no... excuse... for... this. Period. Publically humiliating a young performer here on DCP is irresponsible, and vicious. A Corps performer should not be individually singled out like this for such public humiliation. Their role at a previous Corps is a PRIVATE matter. Not for public consumption. This is not a grey area. It is black and white. At least to me anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
