OK, the first four corps on the schedule are in REVERSE ORDER. Tri-Valley Brass is on first, followed by Mighty St. Joe's, Reilly Raiders, and then Sky Alumni.

Excellent job by the Freelancers Alumni brass line with the national anthem.

Great Dixieland start to the show. The horn line is a mix of marching and concert brass. Low brass, for example, is all on concert euphs and tuba, while the middle horns are all marching mellos. Percussion is a trap set player.

DM is now talking to the crowd, explaining why they picked the music they're playing (hint: COPYRIGHT).

Bill Bailey. This chart is especially cooking in the mello line.

Second chart in a row this trumpet player has soloed. Great tone and expression!
