DCA 2008 Preliminaries Coverage


Recommended Posts

Horn line now facing backfield and playing Shenandoah. They turn front for the final part of the song, then the tempo picks up as they move into the final chord.

Just noticed the scoreboard is showing the performance. That was always distracting whenever I marched and, during a turn front or back, caught a glimpse of the video.

The show opens with soloists trading off the La Suerta main theme.

Snares come up and just start ripping licks. I remember this drum line being very aggressive last year and that has not changed for 2008.

Nice in tune opening from the brass!

Two of the pit members are young boys, probably sons of other corps members. They're not really playing right now, just holding tambourines and waiting for their chance to shine.

Ballad section now. I remember this ballad from 2001 Crossmen and, I believe 2002 Brigadiers.
