BrassMember Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Govies just started playing the Wedding March. I don't see any proposals on the field, but I can't be sure. MBI trumpet section leader proposed to a fellow MBI guard member.... she said yes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPeashey Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Is the rain serious enough that it may have delayed the show had it come earlier? I'm so happy for everyone that it held off until the finale. YES I have never been so wet... wait... yes I was..once!. on a hot summer night in 1972 in Whitewater WI (DCI #1) ... it rained THAT hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPeashey Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Must be the water in all those lakes in Minnesota! Is this the first time Class A and Open came from same state?? happened in 2002... Brigadiers (won open) and NY Skyliners (won Class A) of course they were probably listed as being from Garfield NJ or somewhere near there... but to me they were always from NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

contra111 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Congratulations MBI and Govenaires. Awesome job everyone. Also congratulations to the Reading Buccaneers on an incredible streak that I don't think will ever be broken. Wish I could have gone but I promised Gavin that I wouldn't jinx the corps and show up at the last minute Another 80 pounds to lose and I'm ready to help defend the title next year.

Danielle Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 We were some of the last ones out of the stadium and it stopped raining and turned back into a "spritz" (that's for you, JohnD) for a bit right as MBI was done getting off the field. We were on our way down the stairs, the skies opened up again, and it was coming down worse than it was during Retreat I think. We had to run for my car in the President's Lot and I think I leaped over a few rivers that were at least 4 ft wide. Whew. We had enough plastic bags to wrap up all the electronics.

camel lips Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Some very important history being made here tonight. 8 out of the 14 corps in finals were from areas outside the NE. Both the Class A champion and the open class Champion are from areas outside the north east. Surely after this season some people are going to have to recognize that DCA is no longer primarly a NE based activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
