TomPeashey Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 For Cathie - but I wonder why the link didn't work? just checked it and all is well... DCA To Increase Number of Class A Finalists We here at Drum Corps Associates are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Class A Final competition this year! For the first time ever, there will be FOUR finalists competing for the Class A crown, up from three in previous years. Our Executive Board made the decision to add another corps to finals in Class A, in response to the explosive growth in that category over the last several years. The pre-contest ceremonies will be shortened a bit to accommodate the extra time needed, and we expect the first finalist to hit the field at 5:30 PM sharp on Sunday, August 31, 2008. Class A corps are limited in size to 65 performers (not including drum majors and National Color Party). DCA rules allow for the top 3 declared Class A corps, not finishing in the top 10, to compete at the Sunday evening Finals Competition for the Class A Championship. For the 44th Annual Championship at Paetec Park in Rochester, NY Labor Day Weekend, there will be 4 corps moving on to Championship Competition. The winner of the Mini-Corps Championship from Friday night’s Mini-Corps Competition will also exhibit at the Sunday Finals following the last competing corps. This means that a total of 15 corps will perform at the Championship Finals on Sunday evening, August 31st at Paetec Park Rochester, NY – truly the “don’t miss” event of the DCA drum corps season. The preliminary competition on Saturday, August 30 may break the record for the largest number of corps competing in our 44-year history! Visit www.dcacorps.org/2008 for tickets.

The Los Angeles County webpage blocker works even better. I was at work at the time and couldn't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishbonecav Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Let's keep the prelim sheets a secret and have a Finals contest with some suspense!!!!!! OK, OK...let's TRY it with the A-Corps in 2008. If it adds a little spice to that contest, maybe we give it a run in '09 with the Open Corps. This, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
