kevingamin Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Big Show - The 2010 Drum Corps Associates World Championships Preliminary Competition! The Drum Corps Planet LIVE from the Stands team is in place in the (completed!) press box and on the field, ready to provide you with the BEST coverage outside of being there. The weather for show time is partly cloudy, 65 degrees with wind gusts of 20-30 miles per hour. Earl was kind enough to stay far away from Rochester, unlike the LAST hurricane with an E name that hit over Labor Day weekend. Here's our view from the press box: The first corps steps off in less than 20 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
