CrunchyTenor Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 All 14 corps from Monday's Open Class Semifinals will perform at the Open Class World Championship Finals Tuesday, Aug. 6 in Michigan City, Ind. Since Taipei Yuehfu competes as an International Class corps, 13 corps will advance to the Finals competition on Tuesday, seeded in reverse order of Semifinals finish. The corps not advancing from the Semifinals, Blue Saints, will also have the opportunity to perform Tuesday in exhibition.

davland Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'll be there. It's raining in Chicago right now. Hopefully it goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassClef Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I really hope the weather holds out. Don't need a repeat of 2011. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL THE OPEN CLASS GROUPS. <3 Open class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodePro Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 does anyone know who is on the judging panel for this evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBones Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Wish I could be there. Good luck to ALL the performers. Give everyone a GREAT show. It doesn't matter where anyone ends up tonight, ALL of Open Class deserves a Standing O. Will anyone be able to give a live review? On a side note, just heard Raiders will be going to Indy. Great news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalTones2012 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm happy for Les Stentors and Racine, but it's ridiculous that almost every single Open Class corps made finals! The meaning of that milestone is gone now. Either they need to limit the number of finalists to 8 or 10 or (preferably) do something to get more Open Class corps off the ground and in touring shape. It wasn't too long ago that Open Class needed three shows, and I know everyone wants it to be that way again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So if it rains, do they delay the show, or just go with the Prelims results? On another note, wasn't it 2009 where they did Open Class FInals week at the dome as well? Might not be the worst idea in the world, because poor weather during this week has been a trend since at least 08. Go SCVC! Bring it home!

I remember hearing it became too expensive to rent the dome for the extra 2 days. That's why they moved Open Class to Michigan City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those looking to edge out others, it was a no go and finals placement I'm pretty sure was the same from the focus show. I'm not sure if they would delay or reschedule finals...probably not because it's Open Class and DCI doesn't really care about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It is becoming painfully obvious that DCI doesn't care about open class!!!@#$#$@#@# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
