I wonder what would happen If a Corps did a show called ‘5 kick-*ss songs & some cool drill’? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake W. Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Ok, I'm going to wax poetic about Pacific Crest for a minute. I think it's safe to call them "Most Improved" from beginning to end of the 2022 season. They came out at Corps at the Crest in early July and think most of us were just...shocked?...by the number of holes marched, the smaller corps size in general, the seemingly disparate design, and they capped it off the evening by landing a final number in the high 50s, I think. Oof. I mentioned this yesterday after their Prelims performance, but I really do still see shades of the 2019 PC corps in there today & yesterday. They REALLY pulled it together at the end of the season. Not just execution - but design and member buy-in were all clearly achieved by the season's end. I hope they retain a good amount of members; yes, this was probably a slog of a season for the unit, but if the staff & members can pull not just the corps but the design over the finish line like this (thriving and not limping), that speaks tomes to the skill sets at the root of what they're doing over in Diamond Bar. I am seriously impressed with how everyone on the field and behind the scenes cleaned and grew this season. Yea, maybe not a banner finish in the numbers and placements, but I hope everyone involved with the corps is exceptionally proud of where they landed the 2022 season. It takes real grit and focus to pull off such exceptional growth. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
