After listening to @leo, @jeffjarvis, and Paris Martineau talk about Prometheus on Intelligent Machines, I had to go back to 2024 Carolina Crown's Promethean.

Ever since J.D. Shaw returned to Phantom in 2021, people have been saying that Phantom is back. First, they never left. Second, if there was a show which WOULD indicate Phantom is “back”, Mynd is it.

It’s been 17 years since the Blue Devils placed lower than 2nd, but you wouldn’t know it from how they performed The Romantics. I also, for once, disagree with Edna Mode. BD wears those capes with authority.

The Boston Crusaders performed a very popular and championship quality show with Glitch.

2024 DCI World Championships Photos – Boston Crusaders

While the Boston Crusaders came in second place for the second time in three years, they performed a very popular and championship quality show with Glitch.

All of these photos are available under a Creative Commons license, free for you to use as long as you give me photography credit.

You can find all of the edited photos from this and other events on my Flickr site.

Had a few pleasant reminders of this great show, so I felt it was time to go through my photos from DCI Finals and make ’em look better.

2024 DCI World Championships – Bluecoats

https://medi-nerd.com/2024/12/02/2024-dci-world-championships-bluecoats/

In 2018, the Mandarins blew the door down, making Finals for the first time in their history. Last year, the Mandarins became the latest corps to join the Top 6 club, placing 6th with an incredibly entertaining Sinnerman show. The corps has built off that success this past season with a 7th place showing and another fan favorite in Vieux Carré.

I've been writing my reviews of this past season's shows in reverse order of finish. I wanted to make sure the Open Class corps got the love they deserve, especially if I lose momentum and don't get through everybody. It's happened before. Then I pulled up YouTube and saw this in my feed:

Why, yes, I'd like a full serving of the 2024 DCI Fan Favorite Phantom Regiment, thank you very much. #MarchingArts #DrumCorps #DCI2024 #PhantomRegiment

Somebody and/or something must have fanned the flames at the Raiders during the past off-season. The corps came onto the field significantly larger than their 2023 edition, indicating that recruitment went very well for this DCI Open Class corps. The corps also came onto the field with a look that made their show theme, Fan The Flame, apparent before a single note was played.

Today’s editing project was with one of the photos I took of the Boston Crusaders during their 2024 DCI Finals performance of Glitch. Here is the original photo I took from the Lucas Oil Stadium press box of a group of horn players during the opener. This was the highest zoom level I could do with my camera, so there’s a lot on the periphery of the horns I was focusing on.

Photo Editing With The Boston Crusaders – Medi-Nerd 2 https://medi-nerd.com/2024/09/10/photo-editing-with-the-boston-crusaders/

I’ve taken so many pictures of drum corps and the marching arts, but I’ve never attempted editing any of those photos…UNTIL NOW!!!

Photo Editing With The Madison Scouts – Medi-Nerd 2 https://medi-nerd.com/2024/09/09/photo-editing-with-the-madison-scouts/

I’ve taken so many pictures of drum corps and the marching arts, but I’ve never attempted editing any of those photos. When I found that Affinity Photo 2, a strong alternative to Adobe’s software (no subscription, for starters!) has a 180 day fully functional trial, I decided now was the time to start learning about photo editing.

My first attempt was with this photo I took of the Madison Scouts during the 2024 Drum Corps International World Championships Finals. Here is the original unedited photo:

And here is the edited version, with a simple crop to just the snare line, but also a removal of the two mic stands:

I would like to figure out how to alter lighting and color levels next, but not bad for a first try!

Unfortunately for me, the Colt Cadets were one of the few drum corps I was unable to see live this year. Our paths just did not cross as we traveled through our respective journeys through the woods of the season. Fortunately, I was able to catch their performance during DCI week during World Class Prelims on Thursday, so I was at least able to enjoy their performance of The Woods.

The beauty of shows which are based on themes such as the seasons or the elements is that they come ready made with four possible movements. In the case of Les Stentors, the drum corps which puts the “I” in “DCI” year after year, their show Elements featured the four classical elements in the order of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air.

With the completion of the Drum Corps International World Championships on August 10, the 2024 North American drum corps season has come to a close. While it is earlier than we are used to now that all-age ends on the same day as junior corps, the season was a significant success for the activity. Congratulations to the champions of all DCI classes.

While it is earlier than we are used to now that all-age ends on the same day as junior corps, the season was a significant success for the activity. Congratulations to the champions of all DCI classes:

• DCI All-Age Open Class – Cincinnati Tradition (Video)
• DCI All-Age World Class – Reading Buccaneers (Video)
• DCI Open Class – Spartans (Video)
• DCI World Class – Bluecoats (Video)

I didn’t get to as many shows this summer as I usually do, but I was able to get some good performance photos and write up my coverage at the shows I was at. Hopefully, next season’s schedule will line up better with my own.

One nice thing about my FloMarching subscription is that they replay each drum corps show they broadcast 24 hours later. This gave me a chance to relive Finals again, this time from the multi-cam perspective. Even one day after the season ended, I saw things in every show I hadn't caught before. Here are some examples.
