Probably not going to matter... looks like Kilties are on the bubble :-(. That's a respectable score for Kidsgrove! Renegades 87.238 CorpsVets 87.188 (0.9) Kidsgrove Scouts 89.238 Kilties 83.613

Awards was quite the party. Cavies took the field a-la-BD "absurdity" style (very good-naturedly though!), Crown's guard were having a lot of fun, and Mexican waves all along the stands.... And, as for the score announcement... "Racing into second place, with a score of 98.100....... the Blue Devils" About half a beat's silence and then the stadium went crazy. Truly amazing scenes. Even more so when the winning score of 98.125 was announced. Closest ever, non-tying, DCI finals? Phantom deserved it tonight... it was an outstanding performance. And kudos to the judges for "calling it as they saw it". With this level of margin, no one judge could have called the contest -- big respect to them too. (SCV were flat, by the way. Coats had a cracker of a show and deserved the only other place switch of the night!)

Hi there, Thanks for this... certainly options we can explore! Cheers Matt

Hi all, Greetings to all guards going to Dayton next month! We at the Thurrock Academy are excited to be travelling from the United Kingdom to compete at WGI this year with our IA and IO guards. We were wondering if anyone is holding a preview on Wednesday, April 9th in the Dayton or nearby area (within about 2hrs driving time) and would welcome our two colorguards. Alternatively, we would welcome the chance to view any rehearsals that units may be holding. We attended a preview in Kentucky in 2003 when we last travelled to WGI and had a blast!! If anyone can help with any leads, please either post here or drop me an email. Many thanks! Matt Johnson The Thurrock Academy
