Did the take that lesson to heart? Last year, Legends' first performance was July 2, and they had 10 performances prior to the start of the O.C. tour. This year, their first performance is July 6, and they have 8 performances scheduled before the O.C. tour starts. So it appears they did scale back a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing them in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just to satisfy curiosity, I counted up the number of scheduled appearances for each Open (and International) Class corps (not counting Open Class Finals or World Class Semifinals). I make no judgments, trusting that each corps is doing the right number for them: 17 Colt Cadets 17 Legends 16 Gold 16 Vanguard Cadets 15 Blue Devils B 15 Guardians 14 Louisiana Stars 14 7th Regiment 14 Spartans 13 Raiders 12 River City Rhythm 12 Southwind 11 Golden Empire 10 Battalion 10 Shadow 9 Watchmen 8 Blue Devils C 8 Impulse 7 Heat Wave 7 Jubal 6 Columbians 6 Incognito 6 Vessel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I wish all of them would go to Michigan City at the same time. I've been there twice but I haven't seen over a third of the open class. Shadow makes their debut tonight. Raiders have their second perfomance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBones Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I believe Raiders, 7th and Spartans would have an added show but the Mullica Hills, NJ show was cancelled because they were the only competing corps in the show. The new NJ Corps, Encore, was also suppose to appear in exhibition. I guess that's why no mid week mid atlantic open class shows can be scheduled in the east unless there is a show nearby the following day or so.

kkrepps Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Looks like Legends, The Battalian, and Columbians get on the board tonight with their first shows of the season. Kind of interested to see what kind of score Legends puts up relative to Spartans. Maybe Spartans will beat them out for a medal at Championships this year. Of course I don't know where some of the other ones are going to fall yet either this year like Louisiana Stars, Guardians, and Southwind. It sounds like Gold has gone up a notch too, competition for the top 6 may be intense. Just random thoughts, not much insight.

If they don't contend for a medal, Open Class is INSANELY strong this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a week since then and we don't see them again for another week and a half, same with 7th Regiment. Both will undoubtedly build up their shows and be way more polished by then.

kkrepps Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think everybody's had a premiere. The middle of the pack is really crowded with close contests and too many variables to judge how things will pan out. Looks like an interesting matchup right now between LA Stars, Guardians, and Southwind currently. That's what's on second tonight, and I don't know what's going to happen.
