Dick also mentioned 13 minutes per. When you consider that many of the shows aren't usually the full length... it might be doable, on average.

strutta Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 As Tom points out, not every corps uses all 15 minutes allotted so there will likely be a shorter time to get through 16+ corps. (I believe last year, they made up about 45 minutes by the time Mass Brass hit the stage.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strutta Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) We were given an estimated performance time but were told to be available as much as 30-45 minutes sooner if the show sped along. When we finally got up to the performance area (well in advance of our scheduled time) we were told to hustle it up as we were going on next...the mini corps just have to be ready as early as they are warned to be, I guess.

Bossop Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Okay, let's see. We've gotten responses from:Crossmen Extreme Erie T'Birds The Outlaws Capital Brass Gold Rush Mass Brass Renegades So Cal Dream Anybody else? How many Min Corps are allowed to enter and which rules and regs will be followed, MCA's or DCA's? (That is of course if MCA has established rules that are not necessarily the same as DCA's.)

Bossop Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I know that the St. Kevins Emerald Knights and the mini-corps of the Manchester Muchachos (Amosqueog ? Sound) have been planning on performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchromik Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 So how will performance order be selected? I remember seeing a doc somewhere along the line where previous performing units will go on in the latter part of the evening with the new kids on the block on earlier. I couldn't make out how the order was created last year. Seemed rather random, like by post marks or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbalaya Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I understand that order will be chosen on which corps has the cutest high brass, so EXTREME will have its choice.
