FlamMan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 2nd year corps, taking it slow I suppose. I also seem to remember reading they don't have their own instruments yet (pretty sure here, correct me if I'm wrong), they're borrowing from schools and the university where they're based. I suppose they want to wait til they have their own stuff, build up some money, and are ready. IMO the slow and steady approach is better than throwing it all in and heading to championships, with how good they are now I want them to take their time and be solid financially. Ok. I just don't remember a corp ending their season in the middle of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ok... while waiting for the scores... trivia question... and you are all on the honor system, so don't look it up: Louisiana one year.. just one year... had a Corps that made top 12 Finals. Name the Corps, their community, the year they made Finals, and their placement. Anybody here know ? 1972 Bleu Raiders from New Orleans area (suburbs) - 12th place. Marty Hurley, later of PR fame, was drum instructor. LSU Marching Band pregame show opens w/ one of their cadences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ok. I just don't remember a corp ending their season in the middle of July. They are currently borrowing much of their equipment from other organizations. Many of those groups are starting their own programs up again before the DCI Championship takes place, so the equipment must be returned to them.

BRASSO Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Prayers go out to those suffering injuries and possible death in a theatre shooting this evening, in this community that just had a DCI show 3 days ago.

N.E. Brigand Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 OK. I just don't remember a corps ending their season in the middle of July. I can't speak to whether some corps had such schedules in the past, but a fair number of Open Class corps do that nowadays. Here are the first and last competition dates of the O.C. corps who will not be attending championships this year, as well as the number of competitions each appears in: Columbians: July 2-July 6 (3) Eruption: July 2-July 6 (3) Blue Devils C: June 19-July 12 (7) Golden Empire: June 19-July 12 (11) Impulse: June 26-July 12 (11) Incognito: June 26-July 12 (7) Watchmen: June 26- July 12 (6) Thunder: July 2-July 12 (8) Louisiana Stars: July 8-July 20 (6) Guardians: July 16-July 20 (3) Southwind: July 21-July 25 (5) Heat Wave: July 24-July 25 (2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Dunno if this has been mentioned but I hope everyone in the Lafayette area is ok. Just read about the shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
