Someday, I may be able to tell my grandkids ‘Turn around, point up to the sky, and say ‘See that building right there? Look at what we built!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjyaub Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Your enthusiasm for the larger corps is apparent and they probably deserved it. Still think there should be a separation from the larger open class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 There is a “puppet master’ atop one of the props center field, holding the strings depicting the show theme as the show starts. Whoa! Great opening brass sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 The look of the corps is striking on the field, with the brass and percussion in black with red accents, while the guard is in dark red with sparkling sequins. This is the year of playing Separate Ways seriously (see Matrix Indoor Percussion Ensemble as well as Gold). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
