luv4corps Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) At the beginning of the season I liked the caplet but now I'm have some second thoughts. It might be adding to visual issues as it flares out and reduces spacing between members. Hmm. Interesting point. I love the look of them though, regardless if they are messing with spacing.

Splooie99 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I like to remind people that in 2009, OC had about 64 members. 5 years later, they are marching a full 150. This is happening in Oregon. Keep in mind this is not Texas or California. It is Oregon. I do not know the percentages, but more and more members are coming from outside of OR. That means OC is making an impact on drum corps not only in the Northwest, but the rest of the country. There is a good group of TX kids this year and I expect, this trend will only increase. Especially after this strong year. As long as the management of the corps keeps the finances under control, this corps will only get better in the coming years. I do not expect them to make up the 5 points to Crossmen, but I do expect them to catch the 1 or 2 corps above them. OC is a second half team. Now is the second half. Of course, this is all up to the members, but I think they are hungry for the challenge. I know one of the parents and he said his daughter is having a great time. Thats all I really needed to know. Afterall, drum corps is supposed to be fun too. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other corps has been on a growth trajectory quite like this. It is amazing. Keep digging OC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv4corps Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) And keep bringing those Texas kids! They can PLAY! And it's nice to have stadium representation in those big shows down south. I loved hearing the shout outs at the San Antonio show. Edited July 22, 2014 by luv4corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think it's about ten... someone else may be able to verify. I think it's about ten... someone else may be able to verify. There are 8 from Centennial High School in Burleson, Tx (my son among them), and 1 or 2 more from the Houston area, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Now that I think about it, I'm certain there are at least 2 from Houston. 10 seems like a pretty solid number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
