CAtenhut Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I admit I rarely check out the Open Class forum but it's sad to see so many topics with 0 replies. These corps might not be as big, loud, and overall talented as some of the World corps, but they are just as passionate and work their tails off. This year is a 4 corps battle for 1st - 3 CA corps are neck n neck (SCVC and Gold tied in the last show) with the Spartans right in the mix. So I hope people will tune in and show these performers some love on the Prelims topic thread today. IT'S OFFICIALLY DCI WEEK, DCP!!!!!! What an amazing season it has been!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are actually more than just 4 or Cali corps in open class that are doing great things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDF Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I don't often check the Open Class forum, but I'm constantly checking the scores and rankings. My son started off in BDB, they were a fantastic organization, and they will always hold a special place in our house.

IllianaLancerContra Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I marched in what was then called Class A, now called Open Class. And I plan to watch ever Corps today in Prelims. Marching in a lower-placing Open Class Corps is just as valid a Drum Corps experience as marching in a World Class champion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'll look over there occasionally, but obviously the traffic is over here. There's quite a bit of Open class talk on this side, at least enough to keep me up on things (special thanks to @Chief Guns) I don't think it's that no one on this side cares. There's plenty of interest in OC all across the corps spectrum. I plan to watch all of Prelims today, even the little little guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 That's why I suggested removing the open class name and just make them less touring world class. Legends posted photos from an open class Michigan show recently that looked well attended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to say we were confident enough players that we didn’t need 75 more members to back us up. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, that confidence got shattered and had to rebound every night when the scores were announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, that confidence got shattered and had to rebound every night when the scores were announced. We did ok within our peer group. And then there was the time a judge called it as he saw it & placed our 12-person drum line 0.5 below Phantom (Marty Hurley (sp?) was livid at critique). And a different season where DCW writer said that we were more entertaining than several DCI finalists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
