Or am I missing something? Placement from semis 2018. SCVC and BDB beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well put $500 on OU while I'm here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just when Pioneer had a shot at finishing two spots higher, they had to go on probation... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 1 minute ago, DCI Nerd Alert said: And Music City and Oregon Crusaders. I hope that is true for Oregon Crusaders, considering how shaky things seem to be for the corps. While I do see Music City moving up next year, giving some of the higher placing corps a run for their money, I’m thinking you would have to see them place a bit higher before attracting members from the West Coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the timetable for the Cadets to officially come off DCI probation is this month too. DCI announcement is expected soon. DCI is made stronger when there is a strong Cadets Drum Corps, imo. I think they are well on their way now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Or maybe both corps decided to go back to their original mission: to be feeder corps. Feeders shouldn’t have a ton of age outs 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Maybe, maybe not. Interestingly neither SCV or BD restricts membership in their elite units to Californians or those who have come up through their ranks. Probably there are other issues at play. To be honest. Jeff, there are some of us, and this is not bound to just my generation, yours, or the mms: no matter how great the instruction, show design, or practice hours and methods, we'll still have two left feet, triple teeth, weight, and an ungainly fluid motion of body. I think in the past decade with designers wanting only Twiggy to fill the guard spots and musician roles, we've forgotten that various kids benefit from various levels of drum corps in different ways or corps. Could anyone take away the pride and entertainment witnessed by The Free Players? Or the camaraderie of the only child enjoying having 153 siblings for part of the year? Or have you bought into the BD A philosophy that the only reason for drum corps is a piece of metal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
