Do we have a break coming up so I can reverse my amp wires so the L/R are correct?  It really bothers me to see drums playing on side 1 when the sound in my speakers is on side 2.

Right after Mandarins.

I know everyone says this literally every time Xmen have performed the last two weeks, but it's truly almost impossible to believe this quality of design AND quality of corps is sitting in 12th.

Top scores for a 12th-place corps in Finals:

86.750 -- Crossmen 2018: "The In-Between"

86.225 -- Crossmen 2014: "Alma Gitana"

86.075 -- Spirit from JSU 2005: "The Spirit of Broadway"

86.000 -- Colts 1999: "Voices"

85.950 -- Glassmen 2004: "Voice of One"

85.800 -- Glassmen 2010: "The Prayer Cycle"

85.450 -- Blue Stars 2013: "Voodoo"

85.350 -- Spirit of Atlanta 2011: "ATL Confidential"

85.300 -- Colts 1998: "A Cappella Celebration"

85.250 -- Madison Scouts 2017: "The Last Man Standing"

85.225 -- Madison Scouts 2008: "La Noche de la Iguana"

85.100 -- Sky Ryders 1988: "The Sound of Music"

85.100 -- Troopers 2009: "Western Side Story"

85.025 -- Crossmen 2015: "Above and Beyond"

85.000 -- Carolina Crown 1997: "Postcards from Britain"

 

A couple thoughts:

(1) Many of these corps had higher scores in Semifinals and then saw a drop the next night.

(2) Crossmen could still end up in 11th.

A lot of thunder to open the show as the snares and tenors play djembe drums and the pit and bass players play a lot of basses.

We now need a browser filter that adds an * to every Dan Potter mention or quote.

This must the first show I can think of that features both Tibetan throat singing and bungee jumping. Yeah, this show is eclectic.

New memes - awkward Dan Potter interview questions --

"So Claire, drum major, er I mean Conductor for Phantom Regiment, your corps -- barely making the top 12 this year -- how do you feel?"

I would have LOVED the Spartans drum major to just look at him and say, "What kind of question is that? Really?"  Then stand there.

These rifle tosses are insane. Mario Ramirez is bringing the fire to Mandarins guard design.
