Congratulations to our Southern friends, Carolina Gold! Congratulations to C2 and to Bucs. I can't state it enough, a huge thank you to both Columbus Saints and C2 for saving Atlanta CV from not having an adequate rehearsal site! Long story short, our field was unusable due to the fact that it ended 10 feet past the back hash. Add in a cement shot put ring right in the middle of side 1 and well, you get the picture. New town, New challenges. It all worked out though with Saints giving us their field on Friday and C2 providing one of their fields Saturday and Sunday. We also exchanged food with C2 on Sunday and the two corps had some drum corps bonding time together. This is what it's all about. On the field competitors but off the field friends. Looking forward to next season! PS @kevingamin- yes the horn line wore chaos face paint. And you may have missed the very end in front of the pit where one of our brass members rocked it old school by literally ripping her trumpet in half and stomping it into the ground. If you've got video, check the last 15 seconds ones or so.

Thank you, Fred. We've been working non-stop with a unified goal: Be the best that Atlanta CV can be. On a side note, I can't think of a better way to age out this year. 20 and done! :-) -

I thoroughly enjoyed my age-out home show. -
Thank you for your comment. This is without a doubt the strongest Atlanta CV of my now 20 years marching with the corps. We are having a Fan Appreciation Night next Saturday, August 5th at Hiram High School. The fun begins at 8 PM and admission is free! This will be a full run, in uniforms, and with more stuff!

RJ CVmellophone replied to BigW's topic in DCA All-Age Corps and Alumni Corps Show & Event Reviews
Thank you, BigW, for the review! For all of the reviews. I want to add something not from the show. Several of us CV folks had the opportunity to stand in front of White Sabers during their "performance on the lawn" before the Catonville parade and I want to say what a pleasure it was! Their horn line is easily top 5 caliber. Hands down. Every single member was playing at 100%; no slackers in this line. They had a powerful sound that anyone would think would be coming from a line much, much larger. That's what playing in tune and with a full grasp of the basics will do for you. Best of luck this season from one very impressed CV mello member! -
