Todd Tanji Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Hello Everybody, Welcome to the 2012 DCA World Championships Prelims! We are at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. This is a beautiful and inspiring venue for drum corps. The I&E competition last night was a huge hit and I am very proud of the performance of my mini-corps: Minne-Brass!

drsedlak Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hope everyone puts their best foot forward today. Mostly cloudy, nice breeze, warm, butnnothing like the oppressive heat from yesterday. Look forward to reading everyone's thoughts this evening. Good luck to all and I hope we entertain well!

kevingamin Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Trumpet soloist up front, framed by two guard members. The third guard member has now changed into a knight costume. Now I can't get Holy Grail out of my head and they're not even doing that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
