this is fantastic in more ways than one. it's really awesome to see what the members of organizations do outside of drum corps.

also you must remember that the judges are not sitting where you are at the show, they are all over. if i do say so myself, that the judges were right on this year, aside from the blue devils winning again with in MY OPINION a semi-boring show all around, but that is MY opinion and everyone is entitled to their own

yes there are a lot actually and they do appear on the dci schedule, go on the schedule tab on dci.org click view events by corps and scroll down until you get to open class. BDB has one coming up july 10th, and there are a few soon on the east coast next week

I don't think that is what that person was saying as they are from OK why and how would they be there? I do not think they read it correctly because the kids were not acting unprofessional

It is totally just a remark against their attire. that little corps carries themselves in an amazing mature manner and represent themselves almost as dignified as any world class guard would, so no....the guard was acting perfectly fine.

They were in gorgeous uniforms, but the guard itself was pretty dirty i am assuming the guard will not be the carrying section this year as they have been when he was working with citations, and spartans guards from '07 and before years and they did lose quite a few members i heard in march/aprilish which they then trailed over to BAC. But you are right Lennie Machado is an amazing instructor and can make anyone into a superstar

speaking of color guards and parades...what was with 7th regiments color guard parade uniforms? they looked unprofessional and those were some pretty ugly green shirts, not saying the guard is unprofessional because they are actually pretty unbelievable with a lot of talent, but man...

that's rough, i hope you end up filling your holes and have a terrific season

Big sound, however they only had a total of eighteen horns, ten guard, and a 5 2 5 battery

yay! I don't think Open Class really gets enough recognition and it is awesome that they did this!

Someone is pretty bitter aren't we now? For any open class corps in the North East to double in size of any section is a huge stepping stone, no matter what the tally ends up being. And you are from CT? Way to not support your local musicians, you should be ashamed of yourself.
