N.E. Brigand Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Two shows tomorrow. I'll be at neither, but I will get to see Columbus Saints, who are performing (in exhibition?) at the DCI show in Avon Lake (OH). If you're going to be at either of these shows, tell us about them! [1] "March of Champions", with these corps competing: --Hurricanes --Sunrisers --Bushwackers --Fusion Core --White Sabers --Caballeros Location: Dietz Stadium, 170 North Front Street, Kingston, NY http://dcacorps.org/event/march-of-champions-2/ [2] "Drum Corps Luau", with these corps competing: --Govenaires --Chops Inc. Location: Brooklyn Center H.S., 6500 Humboldt Ave. N, Brooklyn Center, MN http://dcacorps.org/event/drum-corps-luau/ There are some additional exhibition performances scheduled for both events. (DCP's post-tag system needs some updates. For example, there is no tag for Chops.) Edited August 3, 2018 by N.E. Brigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Sabers were first in Brass and Music Effect, and second in everything else. Caballeros were first in Visual Ensemble, Percussion, Music Ensemble, and Visual Effect; second in Brass and Music Effect, but fourth in Guard. Fusion took Guard.

JimF-LowBari Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Wow and great for White Sabers. Still remember being at same hotel with them for two years at Rochester when they couldn’t make Finals. One year my wife and I stood in the parking lot with the corps as they got the equipment out and played the show one last time for each other. The other year we just missed the final music run thru. Always thought that was a great thing and showed the corps stuck together as they were working their way up. Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Grats to White Sabers for their first DCA Open Class contest win, I believe. Big thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trptmagnet Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Actually, they won Kingston last year. I remember blogging out about seeing them warmup, looking strong, and the the victory concert was great. That nite was an arrival. Inside their corps there's probaby other perspective. Last year Fusion 2nd, Cabs 3rd. And 4-5 Bush-Sun as this year. Some perennial competition here folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thanks for the correction. Winning DCA contests are great for morale and confidence for a corps like the Sabers. They're putting themselves in a solid position, though it looks like the 2-6 zone will be a serious dogfight all the way through finals. If C2 and CV can drive hard... wow. Things could be open all the way from 1-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol hold off any birthday stuff people want to do and just have it at my place. Ground rules are you can stay and watch but only talk between corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
