Just backdrops and a versatile prop we pimp out to match the show for us 🫡 And band parents are the GOATS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman1084 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hmm, I didn't think BDB was looking any smaller than usual. Looks like they have just shy of 70 brass, a full drumline & front ensemble, and a massive guard. I imagine they're still at about 140ish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 5 minutes ago, Musicman1084 said: Since someone else mentioned it, here's Vessel's history as far as I am aware: 90s-early 2010s - City Sound drum corps --Folded-- Early 2010s - Orange County Independent Percussion begins competing in PIO in WGI and SCPA competition. 2014 - Orange County Independent Percussion competes in WGI PIW class finals for the first time (after finishing 2nd in PIO in 2013). 2015 - OCI World controversially misses PIW finals in their second year. 2016 - OCI World rebrands/relaunches as Broken City, skyrockets to 3rd place after missing finals the prior year as OCI. Orange County Independent continues to live on in the form of a newly created group, originally intended to be a "feeder" indoor group for Broken City, and competing in PIO. 2017 - Orange County Independent Open rebrands to Vessel Percussion after the indoor season due to the next point. 2017-2018 - Revival of City Sound under new name in partnership with Orange County Independent, which simultaneously rebranded to Vessel Indoor alongside the launch of Vessel Drum Corps. 2019 Onward - As far as I know, Broken City Percussion and Vessel no longer have any ties to each other as organizations, including as a feeder organization setup. I believe Vessel Indoor (percussion and newly launched guard) are still part of the same organization, but I can say with some certainty that there is very little, if any, crossover with membership. I'd also be surprised if there was much crossover in staff beyond admin. Wow. That's quite an interesting lineage actually. I knew they had some times to WGI indoor percussion but not all this ins and outs of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Saw a video of Gold last week that was quite good. This should be solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
