I spoke with some members in competing minicorps that indicated that it will be held outside in the Stadium. However, there is a rumor that rather than using the front sideline - it will be held facing the endzone to make it the performance seem closer to the audience. if that is the case, it might be better than having the sound go into the large seating area and be lost. However, until DCA releases something, it is all a guess.

The DCA website has a list of corps performing. 2012 Alumni Spectacular September 2, 2012 - 10:00 AMNavy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium 550 Taylor Ave Annapolis,MDPerforming Corps: Mighty St. Joe’s Alumni Park City Pride Hanover Lancers Alumni Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni New York Skyliners Alumni Preston Scout House Alumni Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights Alumni Reilly Raiders Sacramento Freelancers Alumni Yankee Rebels Alumni Bayonne Bridgemen Alumni Toronto Optimists Alumni Some new performances!!! Great to see the Yankee Rebels back!!! Brassman06905

So, I guess based on DonnyDrumCorps response, you are asking an alumni corps to not perform? Which one should it be? If it was my corps I would be extremely upset. Brassman06905

Fran, I could not agree with your comment on the 2003 prelim performance more. It was clearly a situation, much like this year with the Buccaneers, where the defending champion was not going to lose with putting up the ultimate effort. Kudos to the members, staff and management of the 2003 Brigadiers, it clearly gave me a performance on Saturday to last a lifetime!

You can still find the rules on the DCA website under News. You need to scroll down past the championship results and then you can access them.

I was able to find last years rules on the DCA website. You need to enter the News page and scroll down to find information on last year's contest. Hope this helps.
