What you want for 2018


Recommended Posts

The only real thing that I want is a extremely competitive season with at a minimum 3 corps vying for the top spot throughout the season. Multiple winners Finals week (different winners in Quarters and Semis) would be really cool to see. Going to my first finals in about 15 years and literally can not wait!

 I want the DCI Competition season to start this Saturday.

 At a local H.S. Stadium.... across the street

 Where I can walk, and not have to take my car.

  With last season's Top 12 all in attendance in competition.

 With a Full Judging Panel.

 temperatures at 71 degrees, and low humidity.

 50 yard line seats... half way up.

  nobody talking or yelling during any of the performances anywhere around me.

 ( ok, so the last " want "  listed here is probably the least likely to occur of all of them,I know. But a fan can dream, can't he ? )

Well, hopefully the internet has been your friend to see some of their great shows.  Then again, DCI would appreciate you buying some DVD's.

  Ediker...This is a snippet of a song from '78 Bridgemen, " Spanish Dreams ". This was the era of lots of Corps doing " park & bark " where there was not a lot of movement visually compared to today. But the DCI  Corps still could entertain diverse audiences back then despite the smaller brass lines. ( thats Jim Brady playing the soprano solo in the middle of the song ). This video/ audio does the Bridgemen no justice here as the video/ audio technologies was pure crapp compared to today's taping abilities. Live, the Bridgemen sounded much, much better than this. Corps  back then had a tendency to overdo the fortissimo sometimes, as you can tell ( haha) Most knew it, but nobody seemed to mind all that much back then, as sometimes the goal regarding the playing was as simple as just wanting to pin the ears back with the audience in at least one of the songs in a Corps show routine. Its just the way it was.
