Here's the link to the table that lists the specifics that each corps is looking for. It was updated 3/25/24. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BT7-87ouFK1ecNZRqgn_uH6PFAf-x9kcOPbtZDblGls/edit?pli=1#gid=0

Not only is the money great news for Music City, the recognition of a local treasure right here in Nashville was long overdue. There is a very rich and BIG music industry in little ole Nashville and I am so happy that our bright young people are being recognized and rewarded. What great news to get at the end of 2023!

And here they are today at the 9/11 Memorial playing Taps and the full arrangement of Amazing Grace. https://www.facebook.com/100010550850063/videos/888948122487891/

Here's a little preview of the quality of this 400-member band directors group. I'm pretty sure it started with a bagpipe - really moving stuff. https://www.facebook.com/marc.parulekar/videos/317914267763791

I'm enjoying this topic better than the predictions post. Thanks.

Music City - 23

Musically, this was a fantastic performance. Loved it better than all the other times i saw them perform this show.

Yaaaaaay Music City!! You proved the doubters wrong! MCDC: 82.875.

One of the Music City parents was there and said their score was 82.588. If that is correct, that's a jump of 2.338! Need to verify this.

NM

Only one I can think of but Ravenwood, Murfreesboro schools, Smyrna, then West TN, etc.

More and more every year. But they still have a lot of members from out of state. I think they have 32 different states represented this year.

Music City's show is so beautiful!

That was probably the best high school band version of The National Anthem I've heard at a drum corps performance. Good job and so musical!

1 The Cavaliers 89.100 2 Colts 87.100 3 Crossmen 82.900 4 Pacific Crest 82.750 5 The Academy 80.300 6 Music City 79.650

Looks like beautiful weather tonight in Sevierville. Must feel good to the corps after all the weeks of high heat. I'm hoping it will help with energy and good scores tonight.

Aaarrrrg! You're right. Where were you with the clever titles? This is Music City's home show and I wanted it posted and up.

To the Creative Council of Naming - I tried - this was the best I could do. Yee-haw.

Helga - Well, they said leave it all on the field.

Does Open Class have a different set of judges than World Class? I like their scoring better. Some scores from the DCI New Hampshire show: Spartans - 81.40; Gold - 79.35; Southwind - 75.10; Jersey Surf - 73.80

The crowd has been that way with pretty much everyone, except Genesis.

Do they usually have props?

Feel free to change the title. When the Council of Creatives are sleeping on the job, the Council of Steady but Boring have to nail the job.
