N.E. Brigand Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi N.E. I live in N.W. Logically the video is Kidsgrove Scouts and not The Company Right. That's why I referred to the corps in that video as "The Company's primary British competition". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Right. That's why I referred to the corps in that video as "The Company's primary British competition". Well played. You have my respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Top three in the Drum Corps Europe finals last night were 1. 89.85 The Company 2. 88.95 Jubal 3. 87.00 Kidsgrove Scouts Just watched Jubal's performance. Seems like a big step up from the show they brought to DCI in 2015. This performance, and those I saw by Company and Scouts on video from DCUK last week, would certainly make DCI Semis. However, this is six weeks after DCI, so I think it's still up in the air as to whether The Company has a shot next year. Correction: the Jubal video I saw was not from last night but from two weeks earlier. Hmm. Edited September 26, 2016 by N.E. Brigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting that Kidsgrove Scouts for the 4th time are coming over here in 2017 but will be competing in DCA....whereas The Company will be competing in DCI on their trip...

Doing a short tour in DCI is a far different experience than DCA. Not surprising to me that The Company is choosing to do DCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have nothing but respect for DCA and the Corps that chose to travel and compete there When planning the tour and before we decided where to go, we visited DCI in 2015 and was blown away by John De Novi and all the DCI team in terms of how much they wanted us and how we could make the tour work We travelled again to DCI Finals 2016 to formalise plans and have recently travelled to Atlanta to the DCI Annual Meetings which have been amazing and incredibly informative The tour is all about giving our members the best possible experience of travel, interaction and performance opportunities and they will have a minimum 6 DCI shows plus SoundSport and DrumLine Battle events in a 14 day tour which is fantastic We have had so many offers of help and support from the Open Class and World Class Corps and we are humbled by the welcome we have had We are excited to perform with and against all the DCI Corps and we we will keep those who are interested in us informed via our web page www.theco.org.uk or our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/theCOuk/ Sorry for the length of this post and crashing the World Class Forum byt we look forward to seeing you all soon John McNamara Edited February 23, 2017 by senators 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks John for the report. There's a good chance that most of the locations you will be visiting will be dried out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
