Synth your own line via EWI. heck you can sample "They're always ready" and use that for your tones with an EWI. dear EWI programmers... you're welcome for these ideas.

Probably just biding their time. 2. BDB Back were they left off in 2019 3. Gold Stay healthy. This show is well designed. Musically outstanding 4. Spartans Good show but not as good as 2019. Plus competition from the west is back. 5. Battalion Can only see this corps rising and giving west more power. 6. Guardians Strong start with a fun show that keeps interest. 7. Legends Smaller corps this year but could be 6th. 8. Louisiana Stars Only corps I have seen so far. 9. River City Really liked early viewing. Glad they have not compromised on look. 10. Southwind Smaller version. OK show. Good guard. 11. 7 Regiment Rebuilding it seems. I hope they continue to improve with what they have. 12. Colt Cadets Great little show early on. If Columbians and Golden Empire were in the mix, Columbians in 5 and Golden Empire 10 GIven that Golden Empire is really only an extension of Bakersfield College, I don't think we'll ever see them pushing for top echelon and/or a bigger tour/finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest score they've ever received. I'm so excited for them! I'm an alumnus of the Ogden High Marching Band ( and a bit of Junior High as well) and remember first encountering DCI when our band went up to Edmonton for Klondike Days in the summer of 77. I think the director and one or two members were vaguely familiar with it, but the rest of us were completely ignorant. There was no Flomarching after all. We actually competed in a sanctioned event (date and scores verified thru the "FromThePressbox" website, [https://www.fromthepressbox.com/1977season see 7/19] and managed to pip past Oregon Crusaders. I was very very sad to see that they've literally just vanished into thin air. My senior year 2 of our members ended up heading to SCV after graduation, and within a year or two Ogden hosted the very first Corps Encore. I remember being particularly blown away by the whole look and mythos of Phantom Regiment. I was so thrilled to see as I poked around the interwebz this summer that Utah finally had an actual corps, after 20_ years of American Fark dominating HS marching band competition. Much luck to your kiddo, and I couldn't be happier/prouder at their showing this year! Beaten only by 6 much older experienced corps in Marion, and then squeaking right up to the line of qualifying for semis! 🥳 Sorry, but while I love them to death, Calgary should not have been in the actual competition track for semis. However, this sets up next year as having a very high bar to try and achieve similar results. 😬😁 Edited August 31, 2022 by Zakhad Utah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
