CrunchyTenor Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Everyone knows Cleveland's former (?) nickname, The Mistake on the Lake. I think there's going to be some excitment shaking things up between BDB, OC and Spartans in Erie tonight. Anyone going and posting updates for those living vicariously through your attendance and posts? Garry in Vegas Quote

kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Everyone knows Cleveland's former (?) nickname, The Mistake on the Lake. I think there's going to be some excitment shaking things up between BDB, OC and Spartans in Erie tonight. Anyone going and posting updates for those living vicariously through your attendance and posts? Garry in Vegas I am actually in the press box at Harborcreek Junior High School stadium now, situated at about the 43 yard line on side 2 of the field. I've got a great view of the field and will be covering the entire show for you all. Oh, and we haven't lit the Cuyahoga River on fire in a while, so I think we can drop the Mistake on the Lake moniker, maybe give it to Buffalo. :P Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Here's where you can find all of my observations about tonight's show: This thread. :D Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/kevingamin Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/kevingamin Google+ - https://plus.google.com/101166939335195707710 I am also reviewing this show for Drum Corps World, so watch for it to appear in either one of the email blasts between issue or the next issue in the beginning of September.

kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Crap, there's a train track behind the stadium. Hope it's not too busy (like it is now). Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Show announcer Brad Bell is welcoming the crowd. Show will be starting soon. Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Canadian and American national anthems are sung, judges are announced, and legal disclaimers are made. Blue Saints are lining up to take the field. Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 First on the field tonight are the Blue Saints from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Their 2011 program is entitled Stranded and consists of: Dies Irae (from Verdi's Requiem) by Verdi, Giuseppe Truman Sleeps from The Truman Show by Glass, Philip Original Piece by Todd Schultz, Jordan Avey, Chris Scarberry Lightning by Glass, Philip Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 There are four backdrops on the back of the field, each with a number on them: 52, 11, 19, 20. Not sure what they represent yet. Quote
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Three snares, one tenor, five basses, seven pit, one drum major, six guard (currently carrying luggage), six brass. Quote
