Okay, here’s a quick review...
The first corps to take the field was the Bandettes. The were quite small, but had a decent sound despite their size. They looked to be a fairly young group too, and they had a few problems with some of the music, but they still did a good job considering.
The next corps was the Blue Stars. They were huge, with the sound to match! Their horn line is powerful! Their pit and battery were awesome as well. The guard had some nice things too. Overall, AWESOME job, I think they’re on their way!
Next were the Colt Cadets. I must say, I was very disappointed to see amps on the field... However, amps aside, they did sound fairly decent considering their age range. They had some really nice moments with their brass, as well as their percussion, but at other times they were kind of struggling to find in each and the beat. Overall though, good job.
Okay, onto Division I. The first corps to take the field was Pioneer. I must say, they had a great drumline. They did some really cool moves and had some good licks. Their brass was great too, they can really blow! I liked their show idea as well - “Return to Ireland.” It was a very enjoyable show!
The Troopers were up next. Their show was great. They had some wonderful musical arrangements and great music selections. Their horn line was also very powerful, they did an excellent job with regards to musicality. The end of their show was also very poignant - I had goose-bumps!
Next were the Colts. They are looking awesome!!! Their show has some neat ideas as well as musical selections. Their guard is very tight, the horns are huge, and their drums are jammin’! They really look awesome - the best Colts I’ve seen in recent years! Colt fans be proud!!!!!!!
Finally, The Cavaliers. What can I say?!?!?!?! WOW! Aside from their use of amps, they were unbelievable! Everything about them is just tight! Horns, Guard, Battery, Pit - EVERYTHING is just tight! Their sound is huge and almost impeccable. I just don’t know what else to say! Go see their show - you’ll know what I mean!
Anyway, that’s all for now!
If you have questions, post them, I'll reply ASAP - I'm leaving out a lot!!!!
