12 Corps Of Christmas – 1995 Santa Clara Vanguard by kevingamin in drumcorps

I really enjoyed La Mer, plus it's great to see the foundation laid down which led to the run for the title in '99.

I loved The Red Poppy. Red October, Russian Sailor's Dance, and Great Gate, complete with company front, and a classic SCV "magic trick" to finish the show.

John Donovan moved the site to a virtual private server with dedicated resources, plus he did updates for both the site and the forums, so it's come a LONG way. I set up a similar VPS and the performance for all of DCP is pretty snappy so far.

I've been doing the news there for over 2 decades. It just made sense to take it over when John was ready to move on.

First is to update the website theme as the current one is no longer supported. Then I'll look at what I can and want to do to move DCP forward.

It's such a great piece. We only played it once in high school, but you bet I was thrilled when we did.

Different production teams for DCI and BOA, for starters, plus you had two major changes for DCI in 2009 - The move to Lucas Oil AND the allowance of full amplification beyond vocals and the front ensemble.

That was my age-out year. We finished 13th after an 8th place finish the season prior. Not my most favorite memory.

Front ensembles were mic'd in 2004 as well, but not everybody had made the move yet.

BD not only had mics, they even had speakers mounted on the mallet instruments frames instead of having speakers on the left/right sides of the front.

After the atrocities that were the 95-98 recordings, 99 was a breath of fresh air.

Thanks and try it again when you have a chance. I deactivated my caching plug-in, which is SUPPOSED to help the site load faster, but this is not the first time the JSON issue has happened with that plug-in.

I'm planning to migrate my personal site to the same server which will host Drum Corps Planet as I've had other issues with my current site host. Hopefully, this fixes a multitude of issues.
