kevingamin Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 For the 41st time, the Drum Corps International summer season began, this time in Akron, Ohio, at the Bluecoats’ Innovations In Brass competition. Like last year, the first show of the year was also filmed and will be shown to the nation in cinemas all over the country on Monday. Also like last year, the scores for this show were kept secret and, along with the Louisville, KY, show’s scores, will be announced at the end of the cinecast. As a result, the crowd left the stadium not knowing who was on top, although many, including myself, had an opinion as to who placed where and why. Since there were no announced results, I have reviewed the shows in the order of appearance, capping each review off with my predicted placement for each corps. Also, since this was my first read, I tried not to get too specific with each show, hopefully giving my readers a general overview of each concept and level of performance presented by the corps.

kevingamin Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks, Jonathan. Someday we'll actually meet in person at one of these shows. In fact, I'll be in the press box for the Massillon show doing the write up for DCW. If you get a chance, come up and find me or I'll look for you after the show.

texascv1 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I blew it - I was there in Akron and didn't even think about finding out if you would be there. I missed seeing a couple of old friends there too.....guess I was too brain dead from the 23 hour drive.

A friend of mine, Curtis Amerin, is about to make the move from Akron to Houston next month, so he'll be doing that drive. Since you made the trip to Akron, I assume you'll be making the trip to Indy? If so, let me know and we'll meet up around the souveniers or something.
