The staff wanted to do this partially to give members a couple more free days throughout the summer and partially for more rehearsal time. It's definitely a smart decision!
I can't wait for this show! It's a little bittersweet because I marched for a few weeks this year and this would have been my home show. Oh well, still can't wait to see all the corps! One of the people I'm going with has never seen drum corps, so this will be pretty awesome for her.
The closer in the video I just watched is quite a bit different than the closer the corps was first handed a couple weeks into move-ins. Parts are being changed a lot, so I'm sure the staff has something good up their sleeves. We'll have to wait and see.
