Bandos: Blue Devils Win!
Yes, those Cavaliers are done!
Congrats to BD on taking #11!
Let's hope this "GE over Music" BS is done and over with. Had the Cavies won again I'm sure it would be 135 guard performing to recorded music.

Yeah, all the Cavies I work with are looking a little blue today (haha, no pun intended).

Looks like the Cadets, Phantom, and Vanguard also gave everyone a run for the money. Saw Phantom in July - WOW did they have an interesting show.
Now I have to sit and wait to see IF the local PBS stations will carry the finals around Labor Day - that's always a fun event to watch.
Ironically, I'm sitting here at work wearing a Crossmen Polo shirt....

You marched? With XMen?
They're gonna show it Labor Day weekend, but most likely like last yr: CLIPS of the top 5
They keep saying that format will bring fans....nope.

She's hot, huh?
Thats the one thing I love about DCI: thecorps don't have what would be constituted as "band dorks".

lol i guess shes hot, i dont know! she was a sabre in one of the pink uniforms.
and yes, while dci doesnt necessarily have "band geeks" i still get funny looks when i mention going to a DCI show followed by remarks along the lines of 'well, you still go to band camp so..."
i dont really care. i still teach color guard, and loudly proclaim that i go to band camp and love it, even though i graduated 4 years ago!

Wait, wait what???!!  How did I let this get by me? I must be slipping in my old age! But I hate to admit, I haven't been following DCI this year.
Anyone have all the rankings/scores?

No I didn't march with the Xmen - I marched with the United States Navy Drum and Bugle Corps and had friends march in the Blue Knights and Vanguard.
However, three years ago at Drums Along the Rockies, the Crossmen won the Greeley version (which is great - only had to walk three blocks from my house to see the show) - and my 6 year old son loved them, and got to meet and shake the hand of the Drum Major - he's been hooked hard ever since.
At DATR this year in Greeley, one of the Seattle Cascades taught both of my sons the basics of drumming on multi-tenors and snares after the show, and we spent several hours that afternoon next door to my office watching the Troopers practice.
Next year, Finals are here in Colorado at Invesco Field, which is a perfect venue for Drum and Bugle Corps - can't wait! Hope the Vanguard go back on top!

Me too! My favorite shows are both SCV shows (89, 99), and they have the style to win, but they've been kinda sloppy, and haven't been able to clean up until finals. By then it was too late.

Yea Blue Devils!
I remember the first time I saw them live ('95???) The guard girls were wearing these red bras. I was so scandalized!
And hey, who says that being a band dork and being hot are mutually exclusive? Sure those people are band dorks (although I think it is tupid to call people that)...they have nice bodies too.
I used to rock a really tight shirt at every audition in high school. I was one of I think 2 girls in my region, and maybe 4 in my area (TX people will understand what I mean by region and area) who were top-caliber trombone players. When I would go to the front of the room and play, it would totally psych the boys out! Then I would sit back down and paint my nails. Yes, I know that sounds very "Legally Blonde", but I was a total snob in high school, especially where my playing was concerned. I have grown up now, thank you!
