http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=d...35-0220c82b5c58 During a scheduled conference call last night, the voting members of Drum Corps International voted 11 to 9 in favor of opening the retractable roof at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the 2010 World Championship Quarterfinals on Thursday, August 12.

New site for San Antonio: Hosted for more than 10 years at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, Drum Corps International will take its popular Southwestern Championship event outdoors for 2010, featuring 24 corps over two days of competition on Saturday, July 24 and Sunday, July 25. Moving the event from the Alamodome, which has been a fan-favorite fixture on the annual DCI Tour since 1999, was necessary after an unanticipated scheduling conflict with the facility was confirmed at the beginning of March. DCI will move the event to Judson Independent School District’s D.W. Rutledge Stadium located just northeast of San Antonio in Converse, Texas. “While we are looking forward to returning to the Alamodome in 2011, we’re eagerly anticipating the new format and location of this summer’s Southwestern Championship,” said DCI Director of Events Susan Kuehnhold. “With incredible support coming from local school districts and music programs, we’re working to ensure a great experience for fans new and old.” Twenty-two of 23 World Class corps will perform over the two-day competition which will also feature special appearances by the Open Class Vanguard Cadets on Saturday and San Antonio’s own Revolution on Sunday. Lineups include: Saturday, July 24 Blue Devils Santa Clara Vanguard Phantom Regiment Blue Stars Blue Knights Troopers Glassmen Cascades Pioneer Pacific Crest Mandarins The Academy Vanguard Cadets Sunday, July 25 Carolina Crown The Cadets Bluecoats The Cavaliers Madison Scouts Crossmen Revolution Spirit Boston Crusaders Colts Teal Sound The Individual & Ensemble Competition for World Class corps, historically scheduled for the week of the DCI World Championships, will still take place for the first time ever in San Antonio. To allow all corps the opportunity to participate, performers will be split over two-day days coinciding with the Southwestern Championship events. The venue for the Individual & Ensemble Competition is still to be confirmed.

Rumor has it that the San Antonio show will be held at the D.W. Rutledge Stadium in Converse.

They'd need to have less than 1,220 students in grades 10-12 to be AA. That being said, AAA could seriously be stacked next year. Center Grove (IN) Kennesaw Mountain (GA) Tarpon Springs (FL) Lafayette (LA) Lafayette (KY) Cedar Park Just to name a few.

They're up under "On Demand." They may not be for long, however. The Finals performances are supposed to be only for people that purchased the DVD's until 30 days after the DVD's ship.

From the BOA Rulebook:

Not so fast. Illinois Marching Online-http://www.ilmarching.com Indiana Marching-http://www.indianamarching.com

I think you broke them, Sanchez.

There's a small problem with the judging panel: Darrin Davis and John Howell are both on the panel, and both are supposed to be judging in Illinois at the Illinois State University Invitational Marching Band Championships...

There will be 14 bands in finals.

No. Only San Antonio, St. Louis, Atlanta, and the Indianapolis regionals will be broadcast online, as well as Grand Nationals. The videos will be online in an "on-demand" format, however.

Then you are old.

You sure the band's going? As of July 20th, they're not on the list...
