Red Storm followed up their historic victory in Green Bay with another well earned victory in Whitewater last night! Another excellent show by the corps. The kids are already back up and rehearsing at their rehearsal/housing site in Manchester, Iowa, in preparation for their next show in Waterloo tomorrow!

Well everyone in the WCAMA organization is ecstatic of how well OLV did last night. With a 77.9 this is the highest start OLV has ever had since they have been a part of DCPi. Next show is tomorrow in Riverside for OLV and Stardom and Supremacy dont start until the 22nd in Bakersfield.

After a lackluster opening show in Asheville, the Knights of... organization hosted it's first ever show yesterday. While disappointed in the Knights of Note with a last place and only a .3 increase, our other corps had great moments. The Knights of Power increased 4 points in 1 day, and still have the Knights Sword, as they are the defending champs. Their overall rank went up 10 points to go with that.

However, the Open Class Knights of Sound are the banner winners. They also increased 4 points and won their class, with a second overall ranking. They are continuing the momentum from winning the silver medal last season.

Our organization would like to thank all that attended, especially since the snow flurries made for some interesting Marching. Also thanks to the schedule makers for making our first home show a sweepstakes show.

Despite snow falling all over the place, tonight's events will still go on thanks to the patented DCPI weather modification grid.

Old Bridge NJ's local municipal stadium will give a great "old-time local drum corps" feel to fans and performers alike.

The eastern TN show was a bit tricky to organize this season. Corps wanted a break from the mountain that was Severville's football field. After doing some searching, we found a suitable venue at Oak Ridge TN's Blankenship Field. Double-tiered seating and a natural bowl should make for a great performance arena.

The western corps are eschewing Wheelock Stadium and its way-off-center grandstands for the newly-opened Ramona High School artificial turf stadium.

And finally, the midwestern corps take a break from their usual Dubuque/Des Moines Iowa stops for a visit to Waterloo's Memorial Stadium near Cedar Falls.

In a season that has already proved to be extraordinary, Red Storm took the sights and the sounds of D-Day to Memorial Stadium in Waterloo, Iowa last night, and came away with their third victory in as many shows, with a score of 70.845. The corps is already hard at work at their housing and rehearsal sight at New Prague High School in New Prague, Minnesota, in preparation for their unofficial home show in St. Peter, Minnesota tonight! (Only a 90 mile drive from St. Cloud!)

It's the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and corps out east and out west will be taking the day off leaving just two events for today.

Class A corps Red Storm is hosting their home show at Gustavus Adolphus Stadium in St Peter MN. All the extra stadium cleaning crews from last night's Bears game in Minneapolis have been working since midnight getting the stadium ready to go.

Down south, it's a day in Old Rome- Georgia that is, at the newly resurfaced Barron Stadium.
