Fantastic intimate stadium, has been a huge enrichment to the marching band community to have this show here for the third year in a row. Tons of local connections to Blue Knights and Troopers. 7:40pm - Guardians 7:57pm - Seattle Cascades 8:14pm - Pacific Crest 8:31pm - The Academy 8:48pm - Mandarins 9:05pm - Troopers 9:22pm - Blue Knights 9:39pm - Encore 9:47pm - Scores Probably no play by play for me, but will make sure to post a review afterwards! Is that why Blue Knights get to go on last? I couldn't for the life of me figure out any logical reason why BK would get to go on AFTER two 2022 finalists at a show in Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little scheduling block there! Edited July 17, 2023 by spacewill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brassboy Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Huh, I just realized that with the exception of Guardians, every corps at this show is considered a “West” corps. Wonder if that’s intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 A++ for the Title of the thread. Wicked is my favorite Broadway show. I have seen it 3 times recently. Twice in Ohio and once in NYC. This should be a great DCI show. Too bad you can't attend the San Antonio show because you write the best reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_in_la Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Fun Fact: The show coordinator for this show is Dr. BJ Brooks, who is on the music faculty at West Texas A&M and a FMM of both Troopers and Blue Knights. And his son Tobin is DM at Troopers this year! Puts on a great show every year! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that’s intentional. I think it’s our relation to DATR, Canyon/Amarillo is right on the way to DFW/Austin/San Antonio. Have a feeling we will draw those corps for the most part. Wish BAC or BD was here but understand them getting on their way to Broken Arrow 🫡 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get why schools wouldn't want to support it, especially as it just helps your school and students also! Hint: Look up Drum Corps Member Abuse- I’m not surprised that they are leery of letting them stay over. Easier to say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
