DrumCorpsLives Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I know a guy that had nearly double that in engineering courses; took several a few times. I'd classify him as not-smart. Btw, I know who voted for what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusankusho Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 That's what I said. He's smart. Sorry - the irony/sarcasm thing blew right past me. I'm having abad day at work here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumCorpsFan27 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'd say the "offenders" are more likely Cavies, Bluecoats, Madison and the like who have consistently voted against Bb horns, amplification, and the like but then ended up using them and crying how they really didn't "want" to use them but "had" to because everyone else was. Well if you're so darn creative at design and talented in execution, then you shouldn't HAVE to use them if you really think they are bad for the activity. Actually, you are describing Madison of the '90s. However, despite being perenial crowd favorites, the scores and placements continued to decline and that talent who wanted to win didn't come to Madison anymore. Madison changed their management to one that conformed with what the rest of DCI wanted and while the scores went up, they no longer create outside the box as they did back then.

ScribeToo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) I'm actually kind of entertained about the "filter circumvention" things on my post. When I put it up and checked it, I'm pretty sure it had pounded everything out.. then I come in today and see "edited filter circumvention - MG" .. and seriously.. I didn't purposely circumvent anything. When I put it up, I thought everything got pounded out. Guess I'm just not smart enough. I'll enroll in some engineering classes though.. maybe I will be able to keep up with you DCP guys after that. :P Edited January 31, 2007 by ScribeToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScribeToo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Anyone who sat in that room might have the answer. For that matter, DCP has several news-gatherers who are inclined to document such things. At least one of them was sitting in that room when the vote was taken. Knowing that, it seems reasonable to pose the question here on DCP. Ken, Cozy was in the room and has already posted on (yet) another thread about this topic that he missed who voted yea or nay.. saying it goes very quickly and he couldn't write fast enough. He's also contacted DCI and/or the directors to find out. It seems reasonable to me to ask the question of people who know it -- particularly when we've already been told (and the OP was active on that thread as well so it's reasonable to expect that he saw it) that the reporter who was there missed it. I realize that there are always going to be people who would much rather come here to post their grievances and complaints .. I have yet to tell anyone that they can't say whatever they want.. but if I disagree, I'm gonna say so. I am an equal opportunity opinion sharer. I don't have to expect you'll like or agree with it in order to post it. Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My classes were in computer programming logic and control systems logic, but nothing of dirty words and pounds...though our mandatory "english for engineers" course was a hoot. Try getting a lecture hall full of calculus and physics jocks to appreciate poetry, especially the kind that doesn't even rhyme...like WTF!? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
