@kobeemmons New series: DCItwt tweet of the week

May camp next Sunday AP Bio exam next monday

Like DCI says anyone can start a soundsport group and besides, the activity needs younger people to start corps. It's been the same people the past 30 years and we need some fresh blood

I love how Blue Cadets is just some kids who wanna have a good time and r/drumcorps has a hate boner for them

.@SickosCommittee

It's pretty frustrating seeing the drum corps subreddit shit on new corps. For people who complain about the supposed death of the activity, they really don't want more corps.

Crossmen my goats 🙏

The value in College Athletics is in regional pride and friendly tribalism. It's never been about the best players in the world (That's the NFL). This is what ESPN never understood. You can't curry attention to schools that viewers don't have emotional ties to. If I live in Montana, I don't care that Texas Tech's $50 Million team is playing Oklahoma's $30 Million team. Nobody I work with went there. Nobody I'm seeing over the holidays went there. Neither are as good as the worst NFL team. It's not interesting and it's not a viable financial model. Deep seeded regional rivalries that split a family down the middle on Thanksgiving week? That's a game people are interested in.

I have a feeling we will see at least one show commemorating Americas 250th anniversary next year. I feel like it'd be a perfect show for Cadets to do if they were still around

I'm so excited for this season

Putting bands in classes based off school size is genuinely stupid. I'm sorry Tarpon Springs and Greendale are not AA.

BD 17 reference

So excited to announce I will be marching Quads with..... INTERMISSION INDOOR PERCUSSION. Whoop whoop!! *Dj air horn noises*

@verzephobe Oh hell yeah

quick wip, gonna add finals details when it’s all dry

I'm really enjoying the revivals of old corps that are going on thanks to soundsport. Although DCI has issues with keeping corps the returns of Blue Saints, Conquest (successors to emerald knights), Carolina Gold, Legacy/Cadets, MB3, Mon Valley Express, SCA and Sky Ryders is good

Madison Scouts 2005 is the most badass show ever and it's those Aussies that do it. Every year they have worn the Aussies they look like badasses.

Major staff announcements coming soon so I'm logging back on

@grrrl_leviathan RFK jr?

Picture this: A man who wears jeans to the gym, drives a beat up truck, smokes cigarettes, and exclusively listens to country music. Now imagine he's transgender

@JohnFilippone4 Yes I did. I am using the CorpsClash app who do not count Spartans as OC.

@MadisonSprouts Did you subtract Spartans who are going World Class next year.

There should be no shame in corps doing regional tours. I get only 8 open class corps came to Indy, but there are SIXTEEN current open class corps who toured this season plus 2 others who took the season off. Also, I have to mention open clas candidates Arsenal and Eclipse.

Open class prelims is small but there could be anywhere from 16-20 corps touring in open class next summer. Also, people want more regionalization. And most of open class is teaching us how to do that and provide a good member experience
