LeanderMomma Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I’m at DCI North Texas in Denton and DanPod ain’t kidding. Pacific Crest (who???) was AMAZING! Especially live. They totally wowed the audience and people jumped to their feet at the end. So good! And the night is just getting started. Danpod 1 Quote
LeanderMomma Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Wow. First full standing ovation of the night. Phantom Regiment, you were INCREDIBLE! Quote
LeanderMomma Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Man, DCI is LEGIT this year. Just incredible really. Crossmen was over the top good. And I haven’t even seen Crown, Crusaders or SCV yet tonight! Just wish Bluecoats and BD were here. That’s all that’s missing to make it perfect. Heck even the weather is amazing tonight. Quote

You’re absolutely right. While I feel pretty confident in the Bluecoats taking the championship, the middle is going to be where the real excitement is this year. I’m so awed right now! And still I haven’t seen the top 3 corps here tonight!! Quote
josephbandfan Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I'll be in Austin on the 20th and I'm so tempted to drive down to San Antonio for this contest. I think overall, my current favorite show is SCV. Quote

MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I can't wait to go! This will be my first time to go. I am just trying to find a ride downtown at this point from one of my friends. I can't wait. LeanderMomma 1 Quote
LeanderMomma Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I made a short highlight video featuring most of the corps last night. I missed Troopers and Academy unfortunately. Enjoy! gregorydf01 and josephbandfan 2 Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I'll be there from 11:00 AM or so till after results are announced! I can't wait. Whoever plans to go, what time are you going there and is there an opportunity we can all meet somewhere? Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I'll be a tall kid wearing a red Crossmen Xperience camp shirt and a black Nebraska Cornhusker hat so you can spot me while I am there. Quote
FloMoParent Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Who is going to be in the Alamodome today? Look for me, big bald guy wearing a black and gray striped Phantom golf shirt. We are waaaaaay up top Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I’m in section 309 right now. Red Crossmen shirt and black Nebraska hat Quote

MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 At the end if the Seattle Cascades show I will stand up so you can see me. Quote

LeanderMomma Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 The Cavaliers have my heart!!! That show just rocks so much! So many incredible corps this season. Quote
AvonDad Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hey you all stopped posting... I'm sitting at a free hotel breakfast looking for thoughts from last night's SA and y'all stopped posting! I didn't get a chance to watch online as we were at our kiddos community show last night. I'm pulling for the Blue Coats as I'm a Beatles fam, they pull off those iconic riffs and are amazing live. We worked the Whitewater show 2 weeks ago helping push props up up the ramp after each show. Every kid we interacted with was polite, thankful for the help and looked like they had given it all on the field. So.. SA comments we you can digest the awesomeness is appreciated.

jmj Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 All amazing! SCV and Boston Crusaders were my most favorite! SCVs trumpet soloist was out of this world! For me, the depth of sound and volume for Boston was just perfect. I loved the Goliath theme and the uniforms. Really, the top 5 were on a plane by themselves. Earlier in the day, I thought the Joan of arc show from Phantom Regiment was soooooo cool and intense and when they had the folks with mellos in 1 hand and trumpets in the other, switching back and forth -whoa!! And all the guards - jaw to floor on the diversity of crazy skills! LeanderMomma and AvonDad 2 Quote

Ha, sometimes I think I am the only one posting and reading so I stop for awhile to give people a break from my enthusiasm. I’ll be completely honest. I really really like Bluecoats show this year and feel nearly certain they’ll win with that amazing production they’re putting on right now. OTOH, I’m not feeling Blue Devils or SCV at all this year. And I love both of those groups. Just not so enthused with the shows they’re doing. The rest of my favorites fall in the middle. Crazy about Crossmen and Boston this year. Love everything about both of those shows. Costumes included. Just so fierce! I’m also a sucker for Mandarins show. And heck, I have never been a Blue Knights fan, but dang I am this year! And the Cavaliers and Cadets too. Bluecoats are my hands down favorite of the season, but the rest of the middle of the pack won my heart! Phenomenal season for so many. Just not BD or SCV for me. Sorry fans! AvonDad, gregorydf01 and jmj 3 Quote
