The 2009 DCI, WGI, BOA thread

[rpmdfw]

Is that why you crammed that funnel cake down your throat, threw yourself on the ground, and pretended to choke to death?

I was wondering what was up with that!

Did you get the powdered sugar off of your shirt?

no. the powdered sugar mixed with the rain and made a superglue like paste.

Pity I couldn't catch that fireman with it . . .

Where was that happening? At least it would have been SOMETHING to watch instead of the mind numbing "let's stand around underneath the bleachers for hours on end.

I feel horribly gyped. I was promised cute shirtless band boys and some fun marching band shows. I didn't see any marching.

. . . and only two cute shirtless guys.

Though there was this attractive fireman on duty . . . .

funny, I'm going to the atlanta show with a friend who has never seen drum corps and I've been promising the same thing! At least Atlanta is a dome so no rain there(unless it decides to leak again).

 

[Pinnie]

Ok. Drove to Rockford (12 hour round trip) for a standstill show. Flew to Orlando for a stand still show. If I didn't know DCI, I would think it was park and blow! I have tickets to Murfreesboro for both nights and am beginning to see the wisdom of a dome.

I was in Atlanta when the rains came and was 2 sections over from the great dome flood.

Maybe I should stay home.

Bluestars beat Phantom?

WOW! Last time that happened was 1975!

On a better note! Holy name overtook Crown! "March straight and true to victory!"

never thought i'd live to see the day...

I just looked at the scores from last night on DCP. Seeing where PR is scoring is a surprise but it sure is making this year interesting.

I will be heading to Murfreesboro on Wed and will attend both shows. I am hoping I finally get to see a "moving show" and not another stand still!

[zulemara]

woo hoo! They did it again!

Looking at recaps, Blue Stars really need to work on GE, but I'm sure they have new changes coming. I think they have 4 rehearsal days in a row coming up. I'd love to see them right where they are at. I don't think they will break 6th, but they have a history of peaking at the right time.

And now the age old question, "Will Scouts make finals this year?"

I'm in atlanta just waitin for some drum corps action!

 

[Pinnie]

I just flew home from the 2 day show in Murfreesboro and all I can say is SCV WOW!

I finally got to see some marching after being at stand still shows in Rockford and Orlando. I enjoyed the return to the 2 nights at Murfreesboro because it gave me a good chance to see almost everyone before finals.

Our seats were awesome, the weather was perfect. I love the stadium and the sufficiant woman's bathrooms and the fact there is plenty of room for the Marketplace.

Only fly in the ointment is that I got a call from my SIL saying mom is back in the hospital and will need heart ablasion on Monday. She better get better before I leave for Finals a week from Tuesday!

[OrlandoMike]

Pinnie, sorry to hear about Mom, hope all goes well! Glad you had a great time in Murfreesboro! Last time I was there we added two days at Dollywood, great trip!

Actually I take that back! The absolute last time I was there I was cooking for the Scouts, and we stayed at.....are you ready for this?

"Dolly Parton High School"

I almost wet myself when we pulled into the site at 4am!
