Is this the same guy who heard it from another they was messing around?
REO Speedwagon was from Champaign IL, not Rockford. However, Cheap Trick was from Rockford.

My Favorite stadium and view minus the not centered bleachers. Happy home show BS 🔵🌹💙🌟
This is my campus. Of course, the stadium was built with the state high school track meet in mind, so the stands extend on one side to give the best view of the finish line. Field house is completed on the outside, with work being done inside. Set to open this fall. I hate it.

I'm pretty sure after last night the Percussion Caption Head lost a wrestling match with the Brass Head at a staff meeting when headcount allocations were discussed.
Not only are they young, they're undersized. Loved the show, though. You can never go wrong with Prokofiev.
Don't worry about size, Another snare and another tenor drummer will be added soon.

For me it was the reports out of camp that the corps looks/sounds young and the fact that Their fans on here stated that they could even see them as low as 10th. Put that with a stronger Phantom and Cadets.
Blue Stars look and sound great live. Much better hornline than previously. Don't sleep on them.

I'm not sure if my count is exactly right.. but I was able to pause and count 98 horns.. I have to say, it sounds amazing to me!
Blue Stars had "only" 94 horns.
28 trumpets, 28 baritones, 18 mellophones and 20 tubas.

Both Sun Prairie (madison) and cedarburg are very good drum corps venues. Sun Prairie in on the side of a hill, maybe 30 rows up (no track). Sun Paririe is at least 3 times the size of Middleton, where the Madison show has been the past several years. Cedarburg is maybe 25 rows up. Both are great for viewing. La Crosse stadium is at the university and is two tiered, about 50 rows up and very wide. Excellent drum corps stadium.

450k for a mobile kitchen? Sweet fancy Moses why so much
That's how much they cost, especially built to our specs. Also read the FAQ on the significant upgrades. It's gonna be keen!

A rough check of past scores (i may have missed one) it appears this may be the earliest Blue Stars have hit 87 since returning to D1\WC
I believe that is correct. The only ones close are July 25, 2009 then July 26, 2010. 2008 was July 30. Last year (2018) it took Blue Stars until Aug 2 to break 87.

Blue Stars 2.7 over Mandarins and 3.3 over the Cadets. First time for Mandarins to beat Cadets, ever.

Nice job Blue Stars! Love the quote from Jack London's "Call of the Wild" at the beginning.

Mice crowd. Stadium has been renovated since I was here last. Very nice. But parking is still a cluster.

Very hot and very humid here. Stands not crowded. I have been here when they had people sitting on the grass outside the end zones. About to check out the grass situation.

3 full days of rehearsal. Can't wait to see what they change and clean at the Muncie show! Seemed to have been lost in all the shuffle of other groups.
Kevin Ford, the drill writer, is also here to modify and clean.
