Steve Roundandroundo: wow what an amazing night it has been--a little long, but well worth it as every corps really put it all out there.

Michael Cesarian: I tell you the live multi event really got kicked off in a strong way with Euphony Empire. It was like smooth chocolate.

Steve: well I dont know about all that but I really had to look to see if they were slotted in the wrong spot because man did they set the bench high after their incredible performance.

Michael: hahahahahaha bahaha Ohio Valley Thunder really seemed to be a bit stunned as they watched them leave the field. Like water trickling off a babbling brook.

Steve: ok..However as you know we bounced back and forth and man Montreal had their own surprise corps in M.I.B who really pulled it together and got a great reaction tonight.

Michael: Oh Steve did they ever and as the night continued old favorites like "home" corps The Knights and defending champion Star of Jupiter with Polaris really kept it a tight show the fans were really digging! The designs the style THE BUDGETS of these corps is really amazing and I am glad to have assisted them all in show design.

Steve: you did? cool-- buuuuuut looking across to Bowling Green and watching Nastalgia Vanguard, Renegade Brigade, Shadow and Quiksilver--we knew it was going to be a CLASS Championship for the ages! Who was going to take it all--would it be from Montreal or Bowling Green and would it be a CLASS corps? all night long the suspense mounted until....

ladies and gentleman lets go to field announcer Grant Crockpot for scores:

Steve: they sure did and what a great year for Class A! we will be right back with Open class!!

Steve: and we are back this is Steve Roundandroundo happy to be your host again here for CLASS Championship with my colorful co-host Michael Cesarean.

Michael: hahahahaha happy to be here once again for all these amazing corps. Like sands through the hour glass so are the days of these corps and it all comes down to big days like this!

Steve: now back to the action and scores for Open Class, little smaller than A class field:

4th 71.14 Knights of Sound

3rd 71.45 Mercury

taking silver with 71.81 Royal Sound

and taking the gold as the CLASS Grand Champion of Open Class with a 72.12 SILHOUETTE!

Steve: we are sorry for the delay after scores from Les Blan Chevalier but the crowd seemed shocked their hometown corps was so far back and booed followed by cheering for their home corps then a streaker wearing what we think was maple sugar candy but cant tell!

Michael: those crazy Canadians--love me some maple sugar candy! what some are saying is that the judging in the south has gone crazy I mean scores so high, but no one can dispute that Sillhouette show--so pure, so black against the light in the back with their face sideways--they are a force to be dealt with this year in open class. Congrats all corps and we will be back with the big guns--WORLD CLASS!

Steve: go ahead say it Michael, go ahead

Michael: SCORCHED EARTH!!! The crowd in Kentucky went absolutely nuts. Not only did they have all three winners there live but we had some major upsets with some incredible showmanship.

Steve: we said we could have a dark horse or two looking over this field and just like any other year its proving to be true once again.

Michael: dark horses are better than light because the color contrast goes so well against them.

Steve: um sure...but we must agree this has been one of the most memorable CLASS Championships I can remember--hey, wanna do it again next year?

Michael: bahahahaha hahahaha oh yes of course! like fine china going through customs...

Steve: well that's all the time we have tonight folks, we hope to see you again next year and as we leave you, all tonights corps, which is probably audible from mars, playing God Bless America, O' Canada, Cotton Eyed Joe and Battle Hymn of the Republic. goodnight

Wonderful shows Gary. The members of Cross were ecstatic when Mr. Crockpot read the scores. You must have felt some heart twinge when 2 FANFARE corps took home trophies. But with the FANFARE Championships on the 20th some vengeance is probably coming.

Jupiter is looking forward to the show tonight in Nashua. We were hoping that J. Kennedy judge from the West Coast would be flying out to review our percussion. :cool:/>

Erm... hm. Weren't the Marauders in Montreal? I believe they were the Montreal Open CLASS Champion, 5th overall (pushing MS of A to 6th and LBC to 7th overall). :cool:
