Candice Lee of the Blue Devils suffered a severe spinal injury in 2014 (after falling from one of the ladder props, wasn't it?) and temporarily had no movement from the neck down. She spent almost a week in the ICU and had several months rehabilitation, but I believe she was able to walk onto the field with the corps at Finals that year. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more the props are torn down and rebuilt at shows and rehearsals. Wear and tear, metal fatigue, more chances for an “ah ####” with assembly/dissembly….. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All one has to do is ask an OC corps who they perform to OR the smaller corps early on in a show. The culture of the viewer has to change before anything else does. This is nothing new, what did people call corps who weren't the top Hot dog corps? Now the lot gets more attention than some corps, Sad well i go to a show, i watch everyone. i'm not a lot lizard watching lines play stuff great so they can #### out tap rolls on the move, and i close the cooler in time to go in so i am seated by "oh say can you see" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
