I too have to give credit where credit is due, and Music City has an absolutely fabulous, approachable program this year. It's a ton of fun, not to mention the corps offers up a super unique & memorable show design in a tier that not all drum corps fans pay attention to (unfortunately). Music City has really splashed into World Class, already surpassing Genesis who is a year more experienced in the class (and who they never even bested in Open Class, to my knowledge), and will easily maintain that lead above Genesis with a far superior design as they instead hang with PacCrest & Oregon Crusaders. As much as I loved "Tribe" last year, I never expected Music City to make so much noise their first year in WC, positioning themselves as a solid lock for Semis far ahead of perennial WC Semis-bubble groups like Surf, Scades, and now Genesis. 

What a terrific program and talented group you've got this year, Music City! This is how you make a name for yourselves as a World Class corps.

Very proud of the corps, the people behind it, and the city. Wish I could be there Friday to see them in their inaugural World Class Home show!

BUMP THIS THREAD!  Thank you MCDC for an incredible show in your first year in World Class.  

Great Run

Kudos to the Music City members for pulling out all the stops at prelims.  And kudos to the staff for the changes and upgrades I saw today - inspired!   "Hell on Wheels" displays a great use of dynamics.  Yes, they blew the roof off when appropriate but I loved the restraint shown throughout the show by reining in the fortissimos and displaying beautiful interpretive skills.  All the soloists and small groups performed beautifully.  The guard was exciting and masterful.  The horns just kept getting better and better.  The battery drove the train and drove it with finesse when needed and force when called for.  Love this show.
