Glassmen80 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Does anyone know what time the #12 corps will step off this year at finals? This year the National Anthem is scheduled 80 minutes earlier than last year. Is everything bumped forward, or just the Anthem? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) There's a lot of pre-Finals stuff that goes on before Finals actually begins: the Open Class champion's encore, awards presentations, the INpact Band, and the Marines. The actual National Anthem performance does not begin until 10 minutes before Finals competition. Last year, DCI moved up Finals competition so that the first Finalist corps would step off a half-hour earlier than the year before (6:30pm ET, as opposed to 7:00pm ET in 2016), presumably so that the entire Finals event, from Dan Potter's welcome to the World Champion's encore, could end at a reasonable time. Hope that answers your question. Edited July 6, 2018 by Cadevilina Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
