tired So I'm totally new to not only this community, but to this livejournal thing.I wanted to get away from the myspaces and facebooks of the internet and come to something a little more simple [hopefully] where I could just put up blogs. As I said, pretty new to all this. Cant wait for the finals to be aired. My drill writer was out in CA for the show then came home and wrote drill for us all night. =]great guy.I love the bluecoats, bluedevils, and carolina crowns.I'm trying out for the crowns next summer.I'm a guardie and I love their guard.thanks.I guess.I dunno.I need to stop procrastinating. | | |

bored Hey My name is Paula, I'm new to this community. I just joined today and this is my first post! I don't know how often people write in here or read this, but I was looking for a place to discuss DCI and meet cool people. So I guess I'll strike up a topic and see if anyone bites...did anyone catch the quarter-finals last night and if so, what was your thoughts on the whole George Hopkins calling the Cadets off the field thing? | | |

curious To those of you who attend DCI shows as fans... has anyone ever tailgated or seen others tailgating? Just a random thought I had... I'm not even (necessarily) talking about with alcohol or anything, but getting in early and firing up a grill with a coupla friends and catching lot warmups would be kinda cool. Just curious if anyone had done such, seen such done, or knew if it was even legal (I'd imagine rules vary as they do for various college/NFL venues?) | | |

nerdy So this weekend is the DCI Winter Meetings down in Atlanta. As I'm sure many of you know, it's also the weekend of the Honda Battle of the Bands at the Georgia Dome. Think any of the DCI bigwigs'll get off Saturday afternoon to sneak on by Honda? Definitely a 180 in terms of style, but I'd like to think the best of the best from each side have respect for the other. And it'll definitely be a packed house in the Georgia Dome for a marching-related activity!(x-posted) | | |
