Fan Guide: The Three 'C' Double Play Season Opener

What you need to know: Schedule, Tickets, Parking, Directions & More!

See a clip from what you missed at last night's All Access. See it LIVE, in full uniform, Friday at the show. The weather will be gorgeous!

Fans making the trip to Allentown, Pa., for the first "Drum Corps—An American Tradition" show of the season have more than just fabulous drum corps to enjoy. As part of the evening’s excitement, the team at Youth Education in the Arts has added a fresh and unique approach to the first event of the season that includes a question/answer session with the creative teams, a meet and greet with the corps’ directors, special recognition to America’s service members and a massive three-corps hornline for the grand finale!

The Three ‘C’ Double Play season opener starts at 8:03 p.m., as the three Cs: Carolina Crown, the Cavaliers, and The Cadets—unveil their 2010 productions!

Adding in a twist to the format—they do it twice during the evening with both scores averaged to determine a winner!

Gates to J. Birney Crum Stadium will open at 7 p.m. Come early and meet the directors of Carolina Crown, the Cavaliers, and The Cadets. Stroll and shop in the marketplace for the season’s newest looks, enjoy the talent of the Lehigh Valley Youth Drumline, and catch up with old friends as the 2010 season finally gets underway!

BUMP!

So... I hear this is tomorrow evening?

I think Cadets will win by a small margin, simply because they have been in spring training for a week longer than the other groups there. But their lead won't last long into the season when they get surpassed by crown and cavies both. Just my opinion

Cadets 75.5

Crown 74.8

Cavaliers 73.8

What if you don't like a show or two? Then you paid 50 bucks or more to sit through what you already know you hate. This has some glitches I think.

I am very excited to see all three of these shows. Seeing them twice is kind of neat idea early season. I always walk away from early shows anxious to see some corps' shows again (knowing that I'd missed a lot in the first viewing).

If anyone is heading over to watch Crown practice be sure to say hi :) I'll be there from lunch onwards.
