brassboy Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The last World Class California competition tonight is also the Mandarins home show. It won’t be on Flo, but it’ll be my one and only chance to see these corps live this season. Looking forward to getting my face melted by the brass lines, as West Park HS has no track and the front of the pit goes right up to the stands.

We are really sad about it. Any and all updates would be greatly appreciated!!! Also if you can get a couple of pics of our son, the wife would appreciate that so much! In the opening set, he is the contra on Side 2, all the way in the back around the 24 yd line. He has his fro pulled back in a pony tail, so he looks like one of the Wild Samoans from WWE. Lol. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You of all people do understand the impossibility of focusing on one thing in Sinnerman because 5,386 things are going on at once at any given moment in this show! 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I’m pretty sure I know which one is your son. I think the Mandarins Contras IG did a meet-the-members post with him a little while ago. ☺️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention that the stadium has no track ( great); how high are the stands? We plan to get there early to grab seats as high up as we can. Just wondering as most HS stands are not high enough to give me the full field perspective I’d like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering as most HS stands are not high enough to give me the full field perspective I’d like. The stands are pretty low, unfortunately. When DCI shifted all the shows around due to the Rose Bowl scheduling snafu, I believe it caused Mandarins to lose the larger stadium they originally planned to use. Definitely get there as close to the 4:30 gate opening as you can to get your pick of seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
