First Show this Saturday

The first show of the Drum Corps season is almost here!  The Innovations in Brass show is taking place this Saturday in Akron, Ohio.  They have a great line-up to kick off the season.  Here it is, in reverse order of appearance:

Bluecoats - Canton, OH The Cadets - Allentown, PA The Cavaliers - Rosemont, IL Carolina Crown - Ft. Mill, SC Phantom Regiment - Rockford, IL Blue Stars - La Crosse, WI

They're doing something really cool this year.  At the end of the show, absolutely no person in the world, except the judges there that night, will know the final scores.  They will not be announced until Monday night, where that show is going to be re-broadcasted in movie theaters, and only then will the scores be announced.  I don't know who came up with that idea, but I like it.  Kudos, great thinker. 

After the Akron show, the 2012 DCI season is in full swing.  The only two days this summer where there is not at least one show are July 4 and 5.  And with a lot of shows that look to be real crowd-pleasers, I'm sure this season is going to be one for the record books.
