Hello D.C. Fans

Just a few thoughts on the top 3 open class corps this evening.

CorpsVets out of Atlanta,GA were a pleasent surprise and apparently MUCH improved over the corps first outing down south a few weeks ago. This writter didn't have the greatest view but the corps appeared light years ahead of past years visually and sounded great. The Disney format seems to fit the corps very nicely and hass them in the thick of things for a potential top 5 spot this season. A very solid 79.375 had them 2.750 behind second place Hurcs,

Hurricanes blew in from Seymour ,CT with their "Heaven Sent" program and showed vast improvements in all captions. As this program evolves and is better understood the corps scoring potential should come to fruition. Brass was much improved over Bridgeport both in subilties and power. Stamina also showed vast improvement with only the very end of the production showing any weakness. Color guard was outstanding as was the always razor sharp percussion. Just a very solid job by the crew from the valley. A very respectable82.125

Empire Statesmen...The masters of crowd appeal did not disappoint. The Wizard of Oz program , complete with the wicked witch, Dorthy and other eliments Of broadway productions "Wicked and Oz played to the audience with all of the usual statesmen showmanship the corps is known for. Brass of 55 plus have a very nicely blended and powerrful sound and are high point of the corps elements at this time with the battery and guard not far behind. The visual program is much better than in recent years. ES should be in the thick of things in Rochester come labor day as should the Hurcs and CV. Empire's 84.063 put them solidly in first tonight, 1.938 ahead of CT.

A very enjoyable Contest in up state NY.
