With the current finals week schedule, World Class finals can't start that much earlier, as Open Class finals started at 10 am, ended at about 2 (ish?), then the Marine D&BC rehearsed, the doors opened at 4:30, and the show started at about 5:30.
I thought the retreat was atrocious. The lighting, fine, but the music coming from the speakers? Not ok. I thought that it was disrespectful and belittling to all of the work the kids put in this summer. Have someone march them on, PLEASE... open class champ? Marine D&BC (although I did love hanging out with someone with whom I marched, who is now there)? The drumline who came into finals with the highest score?? SOMEONE?
