Mandies taking a pause for dci2026. Itβs a tough business unless youβre Bloo, BD, Crown, or BAC. Wishing the best for Sacramento.
Saw that. Gotta be good for them. They need it.
?
Heroes.
Going where?
Does anyone have a link to video of Goldβs performance from Semis? We missed it but heard the end was tragic.
Yaβll were so concerned about woodwinds, you didnβt notice that baton twirlers win championships.
In recent years, Boston Crusaders have performed Zoom and Boom. What is next? Doom, Room, Groom, Loom? Something else?
Why does the Allentown event run on consecutive nights (Fri/Sat) rather than a full day on Saturday, starting in the afternoon, like San Antonio?
Agreed. Still a lot of BD standard stuff going on but the ballad through the finale is really, really good and interesting.
Gotta admit, weβre glad BD is in 3rd or 4th so we can start liking them again.
This is the way to watch a drum corps show. Food, drinks, snacks, and air conditioning.
Hanging out in the Triple Crown Suite at Carolina Crownβs NightBEAT 2025.
Do we think any Open Class or World Class DCI corps would make the plunge into All-age Class? Could it happen?
Hopkins has begun a YouTube channel. The comments oughta be spectacular.

Did anyone else catch those βI Marchedβ segments on the DCI San Antonio broadcast? We thought they were fantastic. More of that type of content please!
Loved this show! As far as I remember it was the first all original music show, correct?
If you shout, βTheyβre always ready!βat a DCI show, you belong on Dexterβs table.
If you shout, βTheyβre always ready!βat a DCI show, Iβm calling to have you deported.
If you see this, quote this post with a time travel movie that's not Back to The Future.
Drum corps edition:
Gold, Carolina Gold, Golden Empire, and ?
Ok drum corps stats peopleβ¦whatβs the latest date a drum corps received their first score of the season and still won championships? And/or, latest date first score, highest score at championships?
Bluecoats are in mid-season form already. The show still feels like Bloo but is something fresh at the same time.
Cavaliers helping us out with a new cover photoβ¦itβs a circleβ¦get it?!??
We donβt understand much of what we just saw from Carolina Crown, but we know that horn line is on par with their best. Wow!
Phantom has a lot of potential in that program. Shouldnβt be too difficult for them to really squeeze the juice out of it. Solid.
Solid performance from the Cavaliers. Much more Cavalier-like than recent programs, in look, feel, and sound. Nice job!
Honestly, it really feels like it was done on purpose at this point.
These uniform reveals provide evidence of a huge lot of blue fabric purchased by all the uniform companies this off season.
