Thank you, wally. Much appreciated.

GM BK.
Yes I have. I always go to the show in Southern California area and my college hosts one of the open class comps, so I volunteer for that one (but it was canceled this year due to extreme heat and a power outage).
I bought the FloMarching streaming service for the month to watch the finals week. It was fun and entertaining as always. How about you?

I attempt to keep up with the activity year around. I'm not pleased how all age corps were treated. No prelims!? What the hell was that all about.

I don't think the all age corps are receiving as much attention. I got up at 7am (my timezone) to watch all of them. If DCI wants this activity to grow and be fair, they need to come up with solutions to help the smaller groups and promote the activity.

Agreed. DCI needs to let the all age corps return to Labor Day weekend for their championship. It will add two weeks to the season. They don't need a venue like Lucas Oil Stadium. They can have have their championship in Rochester or Reading ( under DCI...I guess).
BTW. I still love the valve rotor bugle in G.

I read up more on the G-bugle vs the Bb issue more recently, and while the three valve allows for more scale, something was lost along the way. I know the purists say it's not drum and "bugle" corps anymore (especially now that electronics have been added).

Nope. It isn't drum and BUGLE corps any longer.  Now it's theater on the field
