After posting comfortable wins in all 3 divisions in Sherbrooke, The Knights Org corps look to continue their winning ways on Canadian soil at Montreal's Olympic Stadium: Knight Org and CLASS love Canada and Canada loves them! LES BLANC CHEVALIER is thrilled to present their show to their home crowd tonight!

Hello out there! We're on the air, It's Hockey Night tonight; Tension grows, the whistle blows, And the puck goes down the ice. The goalie jumps, and the players bump, And the fans all go insane; Someone roars, "Bobby scores!" At the good old hockey game. Oh! The good old hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name, Is the good old Hockey game!

WOW what a show last night in Portland! Home town corps The Knights came on strong with both of their brother corps Les Blanc Chevalier and Cape Cod Regiment, but had to settle for Silver other than in class A, but World and Open were VERY close margins! Congrats to the Buckeye Brass groups on a great show! Truly for a small show had some of the best corps in the country and Maine LOVED it! We were also thrilled to have Nemesis from FMA as they gave us a preview of their season 32 show Dante Symphony! In the after show hockey tournament: Buckeye Brass continued their winning in round one taking out Redcoats 8-6. The Knights wanted a little revenge after their close loss in the corps competition and took it out on The Marauders 6 to 4. Jersey Shore was up ended by Les Blanc Chevalier 0-5 as LBC must have still been pumped by their earlier show! Polaris Regiment and Buckeye Brass B had a fierce battle that ended with a 5 to 8 loss to Polaris. In round two Buckeye Brass and Les Blanc Chevalier ended regulation in a 0-0 tie! But Buckeye Brass got them in the shoot out 4 to 1. The Knights must hav gotten tired on the night as they went down to Buckeye Brass B 2 to 5. So Ironically we ended up with the two nights champions going head to head in a final! Buckeye Brass B ended up ripping the the Buckeye Brass 5-0 as they showed their big brother exactly what they were made of! Great night in the first hockey tournament in DCPI History! fun night as had BY ALL!

OK I have to say that the Vermont Governor was way out of line shutting down US 89 to Burlington so that only 2/3rds of the corps could get to competition Monday all because our sister corps Nemesis wouldnt attend his campaign kick off last year. Not cool. But the kids bounced back BIG TIME in Hanover and surprised our old pal Polaris Regiment! Looking forward to hosting everyone tonight in Portland. Once again we have an old fashioned lobster bake for winners of all three divisions! Looks like we will be a balmy ONE degree by shows end tonight so the lobster bake will be held indoors at the expo! Also all participants are invited for a friendly Hockey Match after the competition! IN tonight's line up are: 6:00 Xyothme 6:15 Buckeye Brass C 6:30 Cape Cod Regiment (CLASS) 6:45 The Maruaders 7:00 Scarlet Regiment 7:15 Texas Zephyrs 7:30 Buckeye Brass B 7:45 Les Blanc Chevalier (CLASS) 8:00 BREAK 8:30 Jersey Shore Fantasy Corps 8:45 Buckeye Brass 9:00 Polaris Regiment 9:15 Redcoats 9:30 The Knights (CLASS) 9:45 in exhibition NEMESIS 7 time World Champion and current Silver Medalist from Fantasy Marching Arts 10 awards 10:30 let hockey begin! here is how hockey will work. The top 8 scoring corps tonight will be competing in a playoff round of hockey. in round one #8 will play #1, #7 will play #2, #6 will play #3, #5 will play #4. We will then continue in round 2 and 3 staying with highest remaining playing lowest remaining. (your score will be determined by your points from the show in real life-not fantasy. Round one will be the 10ths, round two the 100ths and round three the 1000ths from your score for the night. In the event of a tie, we will use the ones placement. for example if Knights score a 99.456--like we should--then round one our score will be 4, round two 5 and when we tie in round three with a 6 we will use 9 as the shoot off)

psyche we only went to support our old pals--we didnt perform! lol

we are excited to meet our old friends Star of Jupiter on the field early on!

ode to spreadsheets M! good luck everyone! to all newbies interested in joining CLASS in our battle against Fanfare, let me know!

Are we a go? I might talk to a few friends who used to have corps way back. We do have a good portion of the top 12 at least so should still be competitive!

lucky you did so you didnt need to go through the adjustments! LOL Glad you made it!

great show from the Texas Zephyrs

Two shows created to be brought together off the field with The Knights Drum Corps (DCPI) and The Marching Knights Marching Band (FMA) playing together in a 20 minute concert, each show can also stand alone as individual field shows, only the beginning and end of which are the same. Each equally as powerful and representative of the cold bitter winters in New England, we show the raw power of a Nor'easter and the simple beauty of the first snow. All three performances are sure to please crowds across the country this winter season!

id love to see some PDQ Bach--1712 Overture--classical humor meets drum corps

when exactly do they celebrate thanksgiving in Illinois? lol

I cant wait!

I am pretty psyched about the sound of this Trooper show and I've not always been easy on them!

sounds cool to me

South Stars almost pulled off the upset, but nope!

I am good for the conference but not so sure I can help out with past data currently--though it sounds FANTASTIC!

great games going on today!!!

i didnt realize the first two weeks would be automatically completed! hey you got some free agents that have possibility!

ok CBS one wanted to charge me $180 so ESPN it is!!! :) go here: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/join?leagueId=1520863 password: CarolinaCrown13 There are 12 teams available! Draft Tuesday morning is auto draft so adjust your pre-draft rankings if you want. I would have done live draft but we are already delayed!

I will set it up today or tomorrow and will see if I can hold off the draft until Friday to give everyone a chance to join. Obviously week one is out since it started last night!

Is your drum corps willing to take to the football field in a very different way? I meant to put this up a few weeks ago--but if people are interested I will get a fantasy league going for us quickly!

there is no doubt about that!!! A few titles too! IT IS GOOD TO BE A KNIGHT!
