zachariaswmb Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well, here's what I think. Have any of you heard about people being able to vote on the NBC site between a bunch of medal winners, adn then have the winner of that vote go on The Apprentice? They will be doing the same thing, but with the Senior drum majors of each of the corps in the Countdown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richburgher Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Each corps will be drug tested before performing and any positive tests will result in thier immediate removal from the countdown :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 This has actually happened. Blue Knights during 1996 semifinals had to stop and restart their show because the wind had picked up so much from an oncoming storm front that guard members were getting smashed in the face by their equipment. Happened a few years back to Glassmen in Allentown as well. That was really neat those kids kept on going through that driving downpour until the lightning came. Probably Gmen's biggest ovation ever. Steve and Michael will talk over top of the performances?? '81 Montreal, really annoying Each corps will be drug tested before performing and any positive tests will result in thier immediate removal from the countdown :) I guess 2000 BD is out.

There was no talking for the '81 Montreal because that finals was never released in the U.S. They showed the Mid-West championships intead. Now in 1982 they DID talk during the corps performances and that was annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I haven't read every post yet, but I think the clue is with Sophia Lauren. She helped carry the Olympic flag out during this year's Olympic opening ceremonies. She also was a co-commentador for the 1980 finals. Maybe DCI asked her to be the one to narrate the 2006 DCI Classic Countdown. OK....if I'm right do I get a prize? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn that was Rita Moreno hating on us! ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferb27 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 She was? I could have sworn that was Rita Moreno hating on us! ^0^ It was Rita Moreno. She called us unmusical (I guess there is some room for debate there with the hornline). She didn't recognize "On the Twentieth Century" for some reason. I mean she is a Broadway person and I'm pretty sure we played it pretty much as the original (with editing for time purposes of course). If I remember correctly she didn't offer much in the way of commentary for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburstall Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 http://dci.org/news/news.cfm?news_id=61c23...e9-52b7dddbb83c"on March 3, a new online twist will further engage drum corps voters. ...look to the 2006 winter Olympics for clues. Hmmm....any speculation? Sounds interesting. They are bringing back the retreat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even watch West Side Story (the movie) anymore because of her comments in 1980. ^0^ ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
