Coming up next was Legends from Kalamazoo, MI with their highy intriguing show titled "Ruins". Use of many interesting props on the field to enhance the theme.

Vesuvius kicks off the show. Some really tough brass licks are attempted with many done quite well.

Excellent pace to the program, high powered and in your face. Percussion is thunderous out there, they practically steak the show at times. They have a good demanding book and the perfdorm it so well.

Eruption (from the Tarkus Suite) is very beautiful production with the backfield performance that comes off very nicely ensemble wise. Nice accented body from brass and the color guard works hard with the huge silks of blue, green, and silver.

The music selection has such majestic overtones. Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome for example gives the corps a lot to work from. The color guard looks great dressed in a dark cooper coloring flowing dress in the style of goddesses.

It was a good overall performance but execution was a bit mixed. The show has a lot of demand and it will be a monster when it all comes together at the same time.

This concluded the Open Class portion of the competition. Next up is the Jersey Surf and the debut of their new uniforms. I can't wait! But you will have too! Stay tuned!

OH MY GOD!!!!! Jersey Surf entered the field with thunderous applause!

They're new uniforms look stunning! The corps looks huge and tall! Color guard is also stunning in their skin tight cooper coloring outfits that really accents the show concept "Living The Dream" show.

Front ensemble opening with lone rifle tokickoff Organ Variations on America is so cool! And it gets LOUD!!! Very patriotic audience this evening. Loving everything they are doing tonight.

Wow brass was on fire tonight, powerfull performance, crisp and clean, Percussion feature with effects from front ensemble was beyond cool. Color guard was outstanding themselves they handled the equipment and their choreography with much style.

The Ray Charles inspired number of America the Beautiful was awesome! The piano opening was oh so sweet. And brass came in with a solo bari that was brilliant! It is such a great number - well written and performed with panache! Words do escape me on how to best describe this program.

Festival Variations On A National Air is such a mix of emotions and phrases all rolled into a outstanding number. It is so packed with visual and music and the theme is so well represented in the design. This programs has feet and the corps can make a great statement when they come to Indy. Surf has a mini-camp coming up so they can lock this program down and come out swinging at DCI Eastern Regional.

Stand up and salute everyone - The Jersey Surf are passing in review! :thumbdown:

Fun! Fun! Fun! - much to love, listen, and simply enjoy! :worthy:

This ends the competition part - stay tune for scores.

Jersey Surf brass line is back on the field for a special encore performance. Hardly anyone has left the stands. The brass performed a cool rendition of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory number "Imagination" (remember it is used in that AT&T commercial with the paper cutouts). :thumbdown:

Yea! Surf finally got that elusive 70+ number - it was well deserved, they were awesome.

Excellent show tonight even if it was a oven prior to the start of the show. Several of these corps will be performing tomorrow for a parade honoring the Boy Scouts that start their national jamboree on Monday.

Ok, that is enough of this tonight! Everyone go home and have a great evening!

Do you have pics?

Nope! I am only a writer with a computer and Wifi connection. I wish someone was here to take pics. Maybe some will later.
