brassboy Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 10 hours ago, dcikon2 said: Is the Mandarins marching a full corps this year? Yes but they’ve consistently had at least a handful of members out for each performance due to illness or injury. Also, several members during several moments are moving props, so you don’t always see the full corps actually playing/spinning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Guns Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Mandarins are staying in Abilene today and tomorrow to clean. Sounds like a few subtle changes will be added prior to this weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ediker Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 A great champion from other divisions is bringing their winning formula to World Class. Mandarins are for real looking like Top 5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Mandarins and Phantom Regiment are easily two of my favorites of the year. Can they tie? 😛 Polar opposites but I love both ends of that spectrum. If they're 5th/6th in Indy I'll be VERY happy! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love both shows for very different reasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love me some Phantom and always have! But I am mad at Phantom. They don't come out west anymore and bless us California fans with their presence. From 2008-2015, Phantom came out west just about every year. Us Cali fans always showed them love. Hope they come back soon. Nothing but respect for Phantom.

Boss Anova Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Overall, I do think the Corps are a tad better talent wise this season compared to last season. I think the further removed we are from the interruptions of Covid, the Corps improved. It has made for some healthy competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last night’s spread in Austin, it definitely looks like we can expect a 5-7 race with Mandarins, PR, and Cadets. Not bad company to be in for the Mandarins! So proud of their growth this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
