On the field, from wherever you happen to be...it's the AIDBCA World Tour VII! Will Taeshan's Hockey Playin' Nuts' become the first corps to win back-to-back championships? Or will the Brigadiers extend their own record with an unprecedented third title? Or will a newcomer emerge from the shadows to win it all in an upset for the ages?

As always, anyone is welcome to sign up; each country is allowed to send up to three corps, with the only stipulation being that you are not allowed to send the lowest-placing corps of your country's delegation to World Tour VI (if you did in fact participate). Other than that, to sign up all you need to do is post the following information for each corps you are entering:


Corps name
Home city
Show description
Ranking of the five captions (Auxiliary, Battery Percussion, Bugles, Marching & Maneuvering, Sideline Percussion) in order from strongest to weakest within the corps


You will also need to provide a number of stadiums equal to twice the number of corps you are entering. Included in that number must be one stadium for each corps to be designated as that corps's home show; the remainder are just for general use. All of the home-show stadiums will be used; the others will only be used if needed to fill out the schedule.

If you have questions just ask; otherwise just sign up! Deadline is midnight US CST (GMT -6) February 15, 2009. The World Tour wiki page is at http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/AIDBCA_World_Tour_VII

Great to see you back!

Just curious, and it's not going to affect anything or anything like that, but just wondering who here has done drum corps at any level? Alliance Star and I were both in DCI Division I finalist corps; I've been talked into doing a DCA corps next summer.

Thanks! DCA sounds cool, and I might get into it post-service.

That'd be cool if anyone else was a Drum Corps member.

Just a couple of days left!

Less than 24 hours!

Registration is now closed.

First scores will be posted sometime this evening.
