Nice little video about the Bridgemen Alumni corps to enjoy over coffee....

Has anyone seen Phantom this year? What is that closing piece they do-is it Firebird by Stravinsky?

Obviously, starting tonight, she is having the summer of her life! This is UMBELEAVABLE!

Division I
1 Bluecoats 83.700
2 Blue Devils 83.500
3 The Cavaliers 82.700
4 Glassmen 74.100
5 Troopers 69.100
6 Cascades 68.600

Beating the Blue Devils and the Cavaliers on the same night, oh heaven! I'm pretty sure this is the first time Bluecoats have beaten either of these corps in their entire history!

Tyler, I know you cant read this, but enjoy your bus ride tonight! Looks like you got a decent ride tonight, Centerville OH to Michigan City IN.

Dont Celebrate too much! I'll do that for ya down here in Orlando!

LOL! I saw these scores a couple weeks ago too, and I went nuts! I was so happy. I kept my fingers crossed for the Bluecoats at their home show last week....but unfortunately it didn't help.

Hope you're enjoying your season, Tyler.

Anyone hear about tonight's results in Murphreesboro? Should be a big show!

 

[OrlandoMike]

I've been watching DCP, nothing yet.

 

[Sooze]

I finally gave up and went to bed, only to check the BORING results this morning!! What is UP!? Why can't the Bluecoats catch a break at a big show? Why is Crown still in 7th? I'm so bored....

 

[OrlandoMike]

Todays coffee clip.

With the elimination of the traditional retreat, you dont get to hear corps songs too much anymore. Here is a nice version of Cavies playing over the rainbow.

Get some coffee and enjoy!

Today's coffee clip....

Due to a 45 minute rain/lightening delay at the 2005 DCI World Championships, the Santa Clara Vanguard was allowed to re-warm up just outside the stadium entrance. Truly an electric moment as the hornline played "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera!

 

[Sooze]

Lovin' the coffee clips.. keep 'em coming...

 

[OrlandoMike]

If you really want more!

Here is one of when all the corps got together for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.

Wow....thanks for posting this. I've never seen it.

I guess the staff for BD is getting huffy about people posting videos of their 2007 show on YouTube. There've been several that have been removed. I guess it's ok if you post clips of them rehearsing, but if they're in full uniform and performing, that's a different matter.

"This has been a message from NBC.........'THE MORE YOU KNOW' "

Oh....that reminds me.....

Is anyone going to be going to the Buena Vista Palace for SpinFest this September?

 

[OrlandoMike]

Most of the DCI corps are having stuff pulled, which is a bummer. Cavies have their own site on youtube that has some nice updates from the road.

Lets see, Cavies put up things like "fan mail" and "On tour"

Cadets get "hop's blog"

Geesh!

Oh on the parade, they cut it out, but Willard flips out when the exit playing auld lang!

 

[MonorailMan]

"Hop's Blog" sounds like a journal for beer enthusiasts.

 

[OrlandoMike]

You haven't read Hop's Blogs?

Oh honey, I'm on my way up there to make the cocktail your going to need to get through that!

Dont get me wrong, I admire him for what he has done with the Cadets, but something aint right!!! Just watch the Alice in Wonderland show....HELLO!
