kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 As the corps is announced, the front ensemble begins playing while the corps does movement on the field. One of our drum majors, who is also one of the main characters of the show, stands on a stage backfield and beckons to the other main character.
