But how quickly we forget
Such a sure and perfect plan,
And unlearn the passions that once had burned.

I came, I saw, I Drum Corps'd. 3nodding

Yes, I did see it live in Bloomington, Indiana. All the bands were AMAAAAAZING.

Personal favorites:
Boston Crusaders
Blue Knights
Santa Clara Vanguard

Honorable mentions:
Carolina Crown
Cavaliers
Phantom Regiment

So... did you watch? And what did you think?

But how could I have seen?
What was I to do?
How could I know I would find you?
-Erik, The Phantom of the Opera, Tom Alonso

Man, I'm not good enough to have gone to see it live. I did see it in a theatre though with live broadcast. OMG I almost died with the Spartacus show. It was amazing!!!! I think it was phantom that played it...I'm still a little fuzzy from all the amazing visual effects. The cavaliers were amazing too! And I loved the surprise ending of the one with the tour de france. I literally shrieked in delight. dramallama

OMG I wanted to see it sooooo bad but live was out of the option and 18$ is a lot of money for my family right now =[ Are they just at Quarterfinals or finals? I really want to see it, maybe I can save my money and get the dvd...

I didn't get to see finals. I saw the two performances in Maryland right before finals, But not finals.
I got to see the Cadets and the Blue Devils. I pissed myself it was so good.

We took a field trip the 2nd to last day of band camp to see it in West Chester, Pa and I was blown away!

Everyone's really good this year but my personal favs are the Cavaliers and Blue devils (bass flip FTW!)

The Cadets are good this year too, but that damn narrration just ruins the whole show for me. I can't take it serious.

Me and my friend were laughing at the bad acting the whole time until I heard some sick bass runs.

I would have sooo loved to go see it but there weren't enough tickets left . . . but I did see 17 charter buses heading south towards Bloomington on Saturday for the event.

I didn't get to see it live at Bloomington but I did get to watch it Thursday night. I'm so glad that Phantom won the finals. Their show was amazing!

My entire band took a field trip to go see the finals...and they were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you how blown away I was by the corps! I absolutely loved Phantom's Sparticus show, but Carolina Crown deserved something better than 4th. I hope to get some of my pictures into my sig soon! And to the person who saw the charter busses, one of them was my band...that was the longest six hour drive of my life, but it was all worth it. I really wish that I could play a valve trombone just so I could be in one of the drum corps...it would be amazing to march in front of that many people!

Yay Blue Knights!

I actually think there's a thread for this in the marching subforum, but I think it died. I'll go find it.
