The Lake Highlands Drum Corps show is always a good time. Last night we scored some great tickets from friends who got "upgraded" to the press box. We were just off the 50 about half way up the stands. It's the first time I've only gone to the stands and didn't hang out in the lot. There were some really great shows. Pioneer had a great opening segment that featured the drumline - go basses! Academy was quite good. I really enjoyed their show. I missed the Troopers, unfortunately. I've read that they are doing really well this year, but my 3 year old had other plans. The Colts were great. The visuals for being on the sea were really well thought out and easy to digest. Madison just always has a crowd pleaser, and this year is no exception. The mysterious color guard outfits at the beginning of the show looked more strange religion than super hero. Blue Knights were solid as usual. I liked SCVs music - Appalachian Springs is just beautiful. I am always surprised when two corps end up with similar themes, but really it's pretty common. Cavaliers do a great job and have interesting visual program. The climber across the corps is really cool.
Blue Devils - WOW. great show! visually, musically - just great. I am sure the members are sick of the chairs, but they do an amazing job with them. They still have room to clean, but the time to do so.
I didn't attend the Friday show; so, I missed Cadets, Phantom, Crown, et al. but my pick to win is B.D.
