2016 Open Class Schedule Notables

[DrumManTx]

Some really neat stuff I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned since I've been on here last:

Expanding Their Schedule:

Columbians - Scored REALLY well early on last year, traded some subcaptions with OC and Cascades if I remember right. Ending their tour this year a week or so later in Denver! Pretty neat, they have a bright future. Being smart about it too.

Gold - Making the travel out to Denver as well, they usually stick in Cali until late July/Early August.

Golden Empire - Same as Gold, making the trip out to Denver as well.

Heat Wave - Pretty expanded regional schedule at 7 shows in the southeast, culminating in Atlanta again. Lots of shows!

River City Rhythm - More shows this year, coming back to Championships, great group.

Southwind - More shows in their southeast regional tour like Heat Wave, nice to see this name back.

First Time At Championships!

Guardians - Making their first trip out to Championships! Making strides every year for sure.

Louisiana Stars - This is the one I've been waiting for, definitely my favorite of the new kids on the block, they were fantastic last year. Should do really well!

Also expanded tours for both Legends and Genesis.

Genesis has more shows than a few of the World Class corps.

Reviewing the Open Class DCI tour and it looks like BDB & SCVC will be at the majority of the same shows together. Usually they travel together in CA and split until Michigan City... I like when they take a break from each other and come back and duke it out. Makes it a little more exciting since they have been the top 2 these past few years. BUT Genesis has been gaining stride these past 2 years.
