Actually, it had nothing to do with the stadium at all. There was supposed to be a huge religious event in town, and the majority of hotel rooms were pre-booked. The conference was cancelled and all the rooms were released. Garry in Vegas

Maybe she's a transplant from Concord?

Your "reverential" quote made me think, are they supposed to be stained glass? If so, framing them in black with more reflective color panels might have worked better. Just a guess. Garry in Vegas

Between DeKalb and San Antonio, six of these corps' guards went up an average of 0.75...except The Cadets'. Their guard score dropped 0.3. What is Jackie's problem with The Cadets? Was she cut? They trashed her middle school at a housing event? George stood her up on a date? What is it? Garry in Vegas

Dude, you went back 7 years for this?!?! I guess some things never change, though and she doesn't seem to like The Cadets either. Compare the guard scores from DeKalb (Niebaur) and San Antonio (Gilley). Corps DeKalb San Antonio +/- Blue Devils 17.3 17.9 +0.6 Carolina Crown 17.2 18.0 +0.8 The Cadets 17.1 16.8 -0.3 Santa Clara Vanguard 17.0 17.6 +0.6 Phantom Regiment 16.7 17.4 +0.7 Bluecoats 15.6 16.6 +1.0 The Cavaliers 15.9 16.7 +0.8 I find it hard to believe that The Cadets' guard didn't improve, and actually went down in score, especially compared to their competitiors.

Thanks for the comments. In the no-man's-drum-corps-land of Las Vegas, this is how I keep up with what's going on out there. It is appreciated. Anybody going to Kalamazoo next Saturday? That's the next OC show, though there are a couple of OC corps at WC shows this week. Garry in Vegas
