lawdn Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Gold - mature, sophisticated and often emotional performance. Thank you! They seem here to stay as Open Class contenders, maybe moving up in the next few years to World Class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could so "welcome to the field, Gooooooooooollllllllrrr4rrrrrdghhcfghhddddd!" But instead chooses "Gold." Think of Brandt as the Ron Burgundy of drum corps.

I’ll have to check last season as they were 3rd in OC as well then, might have made the cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in last year too. They had a monumental jump last year in quality and size that made everyone take note. They're definitely doing something right though as the kids seem to be having a great time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Dan Potter is being groomed to take over for him. He seems to be doing more and more shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But. Watching four performances of it in a week is enough to make it quite uninteresting on the fourth read, whereas I'm already anticipating listening to Legends & Spartans' for the fourth time. Because I checked out a bit, I switched to High Cam and counted; looks like Gold is ever so slightly shy of a full corps at 151. A full 80 member brassline. Love that. It looks like guard is the only (slightly) smaller-than-traditional section at 28 members. Makes me wonder if they're the biggest OC corps?? Legends looks pretty darn close to a full 154 the last few seasons but I've never counted. I was counting Tuesday night, and the top corps moved too much for me to ever get a good count on the brass, but I had Legends at 140. Might have missed some. Guardians had a big horn line too, as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I missed his name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
