Still highest placement and likely score in corps history by A LOT. And quickly becoming a destination corps with that staff and the type of shows they're putting out. Exactly. Even if they finish 7th at finals, it's still their highest finish by three spots, and they are currently two points from obliterating their highest world class score. Said it the other day, Mandarins are playing with house money, no pressure on them whatsoever. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of their final placement this season, Mandarins’ show this year is THE best advertisement for the corps to prospective members, so I’m hopeful that next year they’ll see a huge influx of incredible talent who can continue this competitive growth and really let the creative team soar.

KVG_DC Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If that 'waffle iron' quip gets further traction beyond that one poster, they should come out for retreat in Indy munching on Eggos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t even LOOK like a waffle iron. Panini press, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till the haters count the Mandarins age-outs semi-finals night, and come up with a very low number............then find out a large percentage of this corps is 19 years old and younger.................. 2024 returns a massive amount of members that will now have big game experience.

I mean, they do have a decent number of ageouts. About 40, I believe. But in their battery, I hear that only ONE is aging out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They officially have haters. They aren't even at the show and living rent free some people's heads. Love it! It's alright. I'll handle him. 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
