Blue devils 94 show ftw.

Craziest duet ever.

Did you go to any of the Live broadcast shows of the Quarters/Semis in the theaters? It was pretty sweet, other than sitting in a theater chair for 4.5 hours. =]

Watching the corps on the big screen was cool. I hope the ESPN presentation is in HD.

Ahh, so I'm not the only DCI nut in here. No, I didn't go to any of the big screen showings. There weren't any around here.

I saw the DCI show in Normal, IL this year and the Cavaliers rocked! Great show. Bluecoats were there too and looked good. Madison looked to be down, but they had a good result at the Championships. I thought they'd place lower than they did based on what I saw.

I still think the best corps for pure fun was the Velvet Knights (2COOL VK) and the best corp song ever is Strawberry Soup from the Madison Scouts long ago, with Malaguena and Summertime close behind.

So who else on here was on the snare line?
