Wow dude, are you serious? I understand you're probably an idiot fanboy who needs every show colored in crayon and shoved in your face to understand the sophistication behind the Blue Knights shows but just hear me out. Not only do these kids deserve to be where they are, but I'll even one up you. Not only do the Blue Knights deserve to be in the top twelve, I would argue that they deserve to be beating Boston and in the top eight. These kids go out there and bust their tails to put on a good show and entertain the crowd yet people like you keep them from being successful. Mark Arnold is an amazing director, Andy Smart is a musical genius and Mark Sylvester is a legend. They are an amazing corps who deserves every bit of respect they have demanded and people like you just need to sit down, shut up and enjoy the show.

And how!

Tell me what you think! or Member:

Hey everyone, this is Michael and I was just wanting to let everyone know that I will be auditioning for Phantom Regiment...Wish me luck! I would really like to march this season, seeing how this is my age-out year. I also hope I get my finances in order!

Well, The Challengers Director is thrilled with the corps so far. "We are out of our down time, beware DCPI" says Director Michael Ramirez. We look forward to a great season this summer.

Thank you! We had a great time housing with you also. GREAT SHOW by the way, I enjoyed it very much. The first big hit gave me goosebumbs up and down my arms. Can't wait to see you all again.

Wow Sun Devils, I had a Phenomenal time this weekend. I really can't believe how well we did our first show. Thank you everyone who has inspired us along the way and those who have given us something to shoot for.

If you wouldn't mind, Michael Ramirez The Challengers

Can't wait to be there

We all look forward to seeing you there!

The Challengers will not this season, nor will we ever use amplification in any of our shows other than in the front ensemble. We accept the idea but we do not feel we would like to follow it.

Come on baby, one more LET'S BREAK 100!!!!!!!!

Whew! I thought we weren't playing...Thank you!

Thanks star! We look forward to seeing you on the field!

It doesn't appear that The Challengers will be performing...We are scheduled for this show correct?

So how many corps total are we sitting at?

You too. Let's bring some awards to Florida this year!

The Challengers experienced a rough patch in the season. "I would rather get through the patch now rather than Finals week" says Director Michael Ramirez. The Corps is thrilled that they are now becoming more acquainted with DCPI Div. II. There is also talk of The Challengers joining the S.S.Y.A.O. The Challengers will be taking off a couple of days and do some major work. "Beware Harrisburg!" says Director Michael Ramirez.

"The Fury of Sparta" With selections from "300" and from "God of War". The show is as follows: Returns a King(300) The Vengeful Spartan(G.O.W.) To Victory(300) Come and get them(300) Athens rooftop fighting(G.O.W.) Tonight we dine in hell(300) Message for the queen(300) Minotaur boss battle(G.O.W.) I hope that everyone enjoys our exciting show this season! And a special thanks to Nicholas Bischoff, Director of The Avengers and Velocity, for the show concept.

The Challengers had a much better start to the season, with a 4th place finish at Charlotte, NC. placing us in the top 12, as opposed to last years 2nd to last place finish last season. We will be traveling along side our brother corps The Avengers and The Winter Park Hurricanes. We will sharing food with one another to help with gas prices. We can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes...heres to a finals finish!

As you can all tell, The first is the name. The Orlando Challengers was too long and kind of cheesy so we went with a more prominent name. Also, our corps logo has been tweaked (thanks to star organization) and is now my logo. And the last change, which is one of the biggest, is of course our uniforms. Ladies and gentlemen I would like to present you with the 2008 Challengers Uniforms, designed exclusively by Phoenixfire and Dynasty uniforms.
