uumm ouch, holy cow! scouts knocking on the door for top 12, cadets make a huge jump and cavies in 5th...tomorrow will indeed be interesting. I have a show, but I can probably sneak a little dci.org on my iphone during the show. Hehe gotta love having a trainee with me

I think the only reason Cavies are rated 5th is they have had a few days off, hence no recent scores!

Cant wait to get home from work tonight to see the scores!

I have a question--when a drum corp show is coming to your area, the groups stay in locals schools, etc. How can I find out where each group is practicing? I remember seeing a couple last year and have no idea where I found them. Do any of you have any ideas of how I could find out? My DS would love to watch them practice before we see them in the show!

Thanks for any help!

This is truly one of those "anything can happen" years. Now if we can just bump BD out of first......if only for a day or 2.

My DS favorite group is the Cavaliers, but they're not coming to our local show. The ones that will be here are: Phantom Regiment, Blue Devils, Boston Crusaders, Pioneer, Blue Stars and The Academy. Our drumline may be fortunate enough to have a clinic with the Phantom Regiment, so I could eventually find out where they practice. My DS would love to just watch them and their practice. Thanks!

When I was in high school, my high school drum line did a clinic with the Madison Scouts. I was the lead on the cymbol line and they tought us some really cool things. In fact after that we were usually voted as top cymbol line at every competition.

That's what is winning?

Apparently so. I'm an east coast drum corps guy, so I'm not too thrilled with their visual program. However, musically they're always pretty top-notch in my book.

 

[OrlandoMike]

Is that supposed to be a dead guy in the drill at the end? I dont get it!

Same old drill...."We're following the leader, the leader, the leader...."

I thought it was one of the cave paintings from Spaceship Earth.

ummmm okie dokie

 

[OrlandoMike]

ummmm okie dokie

And here I thought you, as a former west coaster, would have blasted us for not liking BD!

 

[orlandomom]

very funny. I would be more apt to blast you if you did like them with a show like that!

 

[OrlandoMike]

OK for the poster looking for housing sites....The show is 7/28 in West Va.

The only one I can find so far is Phantom

Phantom Regiment will be staying at Princton High School, Princton WV.

If I find more I'll post.

I've been seeing recent videos of corps adding and/or changing pieces of their shows that apparently don't work for the fans or judges. I hope Bluecoats take note of this because this really started hurting them mid-July last year.
