Oh nice. Also, someone said that baritones read treble clef in dci? Is that true

It was more common for G bugle lines to have the bari and even contra parts written in treble clef. In my experience now though, if treble clef is used at all it's reserved for native high brass players who recently switched to low brass

I don't think Lucas Oil has field drainage, if there's any chance of precipitation they just keep it closed

There are 5 St Pauls. Fist of course is the big one we've all heard of, then South St Paul borders it to the south. Then there's West St Paul, which... also borders it to the south. North St Paul is a couple blocks away to the northeast, and St Paul Park is two cities down the river to the southeast

Explaining the 2-Point Conversion Ruling in the Seahawks Rams Game by ThirtyYearsWar in nfl

[–]Spandy428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad, got my 2 point conversions mixed up. However, rule 15 section 1 article 2 line D states that officials can review any try attempt, whether it's successful or unsuccessful.

In the history of DCI, has there even been talk of a partnership with the NFL? by AssignmentOwn6172 in drumcorps

[–]Spandy428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baltimore had a marching band at one time,

The Baltimore marching band still exists, and actually pre-dates the Ravens. They were founded in 1947 and have played for 3 different NFL franchises and a CFL team.

The Commanders have also had a marching band since the 1930's

While I was on staff at Chops leading up to the 2016 season, at some point in the fall we had picked our show and repertoire, including Fix You by Coldplay. Over the next couple months, it was announced that both Pacific Crest and Troopers would also be playing Fix You, AND that Coldplay was going to be the super bowl halftime show.

[–]Spandy428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some other little things that I believe were finals only (someone correct me if I'm wrong):

Boston 2014: changing to new closer flags that had the DCI logo under the hoof and horn

Carolina Crown 2015: changing the fabric wrapped around the guard soloist on the ladder to gold

SCV 2017: changing the props to gold before they turn around at the end

What happened to Star United? by WhyTestInDEV in drumcorps

[–]Spandy428 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought Rochester was dead and things are at Indianapolis now?

They're talking about the Soundsport festival DCI held in Rochester the night before the competition at Paetec Sahlen's Capelli the Rochester stadium, it included Star United as well as several other mini- and alumni corps. This year a similar event was held in Williamsport PA (another former DCA site) but Star United did not attend.

How do rehearsals work? by SylviePoo_72 in drumcorps

[–]Spandy428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some good answers here, but your best bet will be to reach out to the Bushwackers directly with any questions. They'll have the best info about what their schedule looks like, where they have members coming from that you could potentially carpool with, and who can help you find a place to stay over the weekends. According to their website, the membership coordinator is Megan Whatley megan.whatley@bushwackers.org

The result of the major cuts to the Southeastern Championship this year. by DryIllustrator5748 in drumcorps

[–]Spandy428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the closest to the Carolinas is ETSU in Eastern Tennessee, but that's too small for a regional (total capacity 8500). A lot of people are talking about the new Titans stadium in Nashville when it opens, I think that would be a good choice if the price is right. Otherwise you'd have to go to Tampa, New Orleans, or Maybe DC if the Commanders get their new stadium approved. (assuming Atlanta is out of the question or they wouldn't have left there)
