They only performed about 3 minutes of their show, too.

Here is a little more detail on Cincinnati Tradition's 2014 show entitled, "Finding Home" Cincinnati Tradition goes back to the roots of our corps and country. Finding Home is a simple story of anyone, who came to a new place and wanted to find a way to fit in within their new culture. Cincinnati Tradition will explore familiar drum corps music presented in a new and exciting way. Using familiar music such as Fanfare and Allegro by Clifton Williams, Scramble by Todd Stalter, traditional re-imagining of Simple Gifts, Shenandoah and American Salute by Morton Gould; Cincinnati Tradition will take the listener on a journey from arriving in a new place to creating a life of their own in a strange new place. Cincinnati Tradition presents "Finding Home"

I did hear some rumblings in Annapolis that Cincinnati Tradition was looking into hosting a DCA show next year. I have no confirmation on this, but there was discussion among Tradition members. This *could* be a decent location to pull corps from all directions.

But thats what made this show unique and different than every other typical show ending. While I may not have ended the show exactly the way they did...there is nothing wrong with ending things "down." The show was called "Breakdown" not "Breakdown and then everything is ok." The girl lost her mind. End of story LOL At least thats how I saw it. Did the end of the show make you feel unsettled....uneasy...? Well, that technically IS an effect too. Just most people (and judges) dont give those emotions the due credit as being an "effect" when scoring. Unless, those emotions come from poor execution. Could the design have been better at the end. Maybe, but they did tell the story they intended for the most part. This corps has made huge strides and I can only assume that will continue. P.S. Great review of prelims overall!!

Both were great tonight!!

The same reason Idaho, Oregon, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan and Alaska have 2 times zones.....

Reminds me of the Sky Riders in their final year(s).

You do realize this is not tour food and only what the Legends Performing Arts Association was selling at this festival, right?

The DCI evaluation DOES include looking at budget and financials. Why are so many people jumping to conclusions about the situation when they dont have first hand knowledge....oh.....wait....i forgot I was on dcp for a second. The number of things that could have happened between the time of final evaluation and when the corps hit the road is exponentially high. There are also some thiings that the general public just dont "need" to know (not to be confused with "want" to know). There are a lot of things that both DCI and the corps themselves can do to prevent this type of situation. There are also a lot of things that both sides are doing well. The activity isnt perfect, nor was it in the 90s...or the 70s...or any decade...

Since when does not making finals make one a "fatality?" Sad perspective on so many great corps.

Really?? I hope this wasn't a bash to the Open Class corps. Regardless, thanks for the review.

Thanks for that clarification...wouldnt want to stereotype

Legends for sure.

And it's possible to take oneself too seriously. This was a great moment, regardless of placing or where they probably would have ended up come finals. Too bad some of the members missed the point. lol

Fixed :)
