And, btw, surprising, yes, but I don't know I'd say astonishing. A great organization, with a great show, with their best talent ever, with big mo seemingly on their side now, as well as the what feels like the majority of the drum corps community pulling for them. . . OTOH, I'll be thrilled to see them hang on to 10th, but, oh, man, would my wife and I ever pop open a bottle of champagne at home Saturday night on hearing the news they pulled off 8th. Any time a drum corps organization makes it into the Saturday night show for the first time is worth popping open a bottle of champagne. Regardless of whether Mandarins get 1st or 12th, let the bubbly flow! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Would love to see them pass BStars......not a fan of the bob the builder show at all. It did absolutely nothing for me. Mandarins show was great. Mandarins should be above both PR and BS. Just my two cents. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Way to go Mandarins!! I see you!!!! You guys and girls were on fire tonight. Love the added layers to your show! Can't wait to see what you have in store for prelims! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuphoniumDad Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Great show tonite in Ohio. I haven’t seen it live since the NorCal shows way back when. Love the polish, the extra musical dynamic surprises, and the added movement in the brass. REALLY closing the gap with BK Head-to-head. In Buffalo they trailed by .80. Tonight, only .15! Oh, and the top-tier corps were on fire. SCV earned every bit of their 96.3. Just “Wow”. Can’t wait for Indy. posted from the DrumScorps app Edited August 7, 2018 by EuphoniumDad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90svet Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I watched Mandarins during warmup sessions at Massillon. It was apparent that the mm truly enjoyed what they were doing, and were supportive of their corps mates (for example, cheering for members as each row of hornline members completed their movements during visual exercises). Good to see a mixture of talent and enjoyment by members. It gave me additional insight and appreciation of the Mandarins organization. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photographer Jim Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 With the California sweep in Open Class last night, I became curious. When was the last time that three California corps made World Class finals? When (not if) Mandarins make it this year, it will be the first time since 1992 when BD, SCV, Velvet Knights, and Freelancers appeared. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
