Kamarag Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Strange. Last night at the show they announced that MBI won the music caption. The recap shows otherwise. MBI was first on one sheet but Buccaneers won the caption. No biggie. Good luck to all. Great show. MBI won music ensemble. Bucs won brass and percussion. Bucs won overall. While I absolutely loved MBI, they shouldn't have beaten Bucs in that caption by any stretch. Bottom of the sheet, maybe, but not the top. I'd love to hear the tapes he made for MBI and Bucs.

Ron H Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It sounds like a good score and good "read" for MBI for their first time out east this season. If they pull ahead of Bucs in percussion (like they did last year) and tie in horns (again, like last year), it could be a close one. They'd also really have to refine their visual though.

I was curious and looked this up. I think you have it backwards. Bucs and MBI tied in drums and MBI won horns. But it was a 3 way tie for horns on finals night, Minnesota must have edged Empire and Bucs out on prelims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBI won the Field Brass sub, Empire won Ensemble Brass sub, with a 3-way tie overall. MBI won the Music Composite caption. Perhaps it may have been announced backwards at the show?

Spandy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Empire? Yes, Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSMarcher Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes, Empire. People are getting some stories confused. I think you are speaking about Finals last year, where as they were originally speaking about this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won Horns and tied in percussion. I believe its a total over the 2 nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrassCats Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Aren't the Rocketeers an upstart mini corps? I did not know they had intentions of fielding anything. The Rocketeers current plans are Mini Corps, parade and ensemble. We will be a year round corps and hope to help our neighbor corps by encouraging those who want to be in a field corps to participate in Atlanta and Nashville during the summer season and still have a place to play during the "off" season.
