Realizing that you don’t want to jeopardize the entire financial foundation of the Corps by traveling 2/3 of the way across the country is a good thing. What I think would be good is if there was some sort of Western regional circuit championship they could compete for. Something like DCM used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what this weekend’s SoCal shows essentially are. Tomorrow’s show in Vista is treated as a semifinals (performance order based on Friday’s Riverside results) and Sunday’s Duarte show is treated as finals (performance order based on Saturday show’s results). And Flo is actually broadcasting Sunday’s Duarte show, which makes it feel that much more special as a finals experience for those corps.

DrumManTx Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Yeah my eye is on that Troopers PC spread. Excited the groups that have been touring together are going to begin to merge! Started last night with Cavaliers and Cadets meeting up. The fun part of the season is about to begin! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if Gold wants to make the jump and they’re well-positioned to do it financially, then more power to them. But honestly I think it would be kind of unfortunate too—California already has 3 world class corps to choose from (4, if and when SCV returns) but offers fewer open corps that travel to Indy for members who aren’t interested in doing (or ready to do) a full world class tour. When my boy was with them last year, I can't remember what SoCal show it was (maybe Bellflower), I was talking to a member of the staff, and they said a WC jump has been talked about amongst the powers that be here and there over the last couple of seasons. So it's on their radar. Now when and will it happen..............that I have no idea brother. What I took from the convo was Covid derailed/delayed this possible jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Small lineup; Wyoming is a difficult place to arrange housing, though it's only 1+ hr north of Fort Collins. With so few corps, there may be little gravity weighing on the scores. Fort Collins on Saturday is the best DATR lineup in a dog's age, even without SCV on the bill. Looks like the weather will, for once, cooperate. I expect BK to make some noise this weekend. Troop and PC will exchange jabs Friday and Saturday before heading south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
