Figured there at least ought to be a thread where the scores from these two shows are discussed. We should have those fairly soon. The last corps at both events (Madison Scouts, one of ten corps at Oceanside; and Santa Clara Vanguard, one of six corps at Auburn) ought to be performing right now. The Auburn show includes the DCI debut of a new Open Class corps, Battalion (there are eight Open Class performing in these two shows).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 1, 2014. The Skyliners Drum & Bugle Corps announced today that they will be competing in Drum Corps Associates' Open Class in 2014. Their growing membership was the deciding factor, and their numbers have been over 65 (the maximum for Class "A") for some time. The corps thanks the New York Skyliner Alumni, their fans and friends for the overwhelming support and interest in the 2014 Skyliners. They look forward to entertaining you this summer! Charter and Founding members of Drum Corps Associates, The Skyliners are thrilled to be back on the field of competition.
