After another historic summer in 2024, what's next for the Mandarins in 2025?

Looks like it's basically the Chino Hills percussion staff. Which is a very good thing. 

With my kids being Vista Murrieta High School Alums, and those two schools are major band rivals here in SoCal along with Ayala high school, I am cheering and booing this move from the Mandarins lol.

I'm excited to see this team back in DCI.

I thought they got hosed this year, Chief. I just couldn't grasp how SCV was beating them, but whatta I know.. I thought Vieux Carre was the most entertaining show of all in 2024. When the audio recordings come out later, it'll be my first and most frequently listened to download.

John and Ian do good work, and i think the design team chemistry is better for them than their last stop

If it helps, just think of them as the Pulse team instead. 😊

I was proud of them regardless. They rewrote the corps record books quite a few times this year. They have firmly cemented themselves as a top 6-7 corps. The future looks bright for the Mandarins. Can't wait to see what 2025 holds for them.

Is 2025 the boy’s age out?
