It has to do with 2024 because there were discussions about a new color guard instructor this year in some earlier posts. I do think their routine was great conceptually, it just wasn’t up to par with the rest of the corps. Wasn’t cleaned enough. By the way, how ya doing? Been a while since August. My wife makes me take a break from DCI until about the time shows are announced. Good to hear from you. I see what you’re saying but despite the drops in 2010, the show brought many wet eyes… in a good way. As for 2024’s guard, it has to do with the techs that clean the work and it looks like the techs from last year are back. Good to see you back! Doin’ good here. Anxious to see what 2024 brings. What are you looking forward to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just looking forward to getting back on the road... Although, the second visit to Rockford, MI a few days after the first visit is going to be... odd...

Ya Phantom guard is going to be just fine - their caption head Eryn Boone is young and accomplished, she runs Carmel’s guard program and they took WGI last year (yet again); if she can walk into a high stakes program like that, with all those crazy Indiana band parents who are used to being the best in the country, and still not drop the ball, I think she can carry PR pretty far. 🙂 If anything I just wish the actual guard design, of late, had more presence — that’s one thing PR’s guard has historically had on everyone else. Classic Cadets had the technique, BD had the style, and PR always had that intangible something … a classical elegance and stature that no one else had. I do miss that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping the guard demand competes with the likes of Boston and Crown. One can dream, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel guard on the field has always been S tier design and execution as well. If Phantom can get a pipeline from Carmel to a summer with Phantom going, things will get interesting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it all depends on if they want to wait to pursue drum corps after HS — I would imagine Carmel has a “no drum corps or independent WGI” policy for current students; I know Avon does.

KVG_DC Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Yeah Avon and Carmel are of similar cultures inasmuch as they're that rivals in the same city. The intensity of what they do in the Fall for band season + their scholastic WGI demands are a LOT on those bodies, adding a summer season is a physical ask that some students might throw themselves into with youthful exuberance without realizing the cost its going to have 10 years later. Dunno if they'd open that policy to DCI, ISSMA and BOA, WGI scholastic, WGI independent....pick any two that don't happen concurrently sort of thing. Cause that doesn't contain their talent pool to their programs primarily heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
