Review - August 9, 1998, Charlotte, NC

Thanks to Jamison Eige on r.a.m.d for this review!


Editorial notes:

This show was a rainout.

I just got home from the Charlotte Nightbeat Drum Corps show! What a terrible disappointment :( :(

The was a huge rain shower (Similar to the one we will get at finals later this week) before the show and the field was drenched. After a 1 hour delay Les Etoiles took the field in a light sprinkle. Three members fell during their show due to the slick conditions. One was taken to the hospital immediately following their show. This prompted the directors and judges to call the rest of the show a standstill exhibition only performance. Although it was a nice treat to hear the corps play up close at their best. I was disappointed not to be able to get the whole package. I don't have much of a review just a few highlights...

Crossmen have added a white outline on their crosses on the uni's. I guess they must have been reading our reviews on here. They sounded great tonight in their standstill.

Glassmen got a standing O on their warm-up!!! My sunburn! They were very Loud and powerful. The crowd really enjoyed their show and they are poised to finish well this week! Go Glassmen!

Kiwanis Kavaliers played well and seemed to get pretty good crowd response. They seem to enjoy the show and perform it pretty well.

Carolina Crown...the hometown favorite was treated to a warm reception and many standing O's. They played well throughout their standstill. The hornline really is loud and powerful when standing still. I wish I could have seen the whole marching show. I think they are definitely in for Saturday.

Cavaliers were a big hit tonight especially the guard. The guard was on during their performance. The horns were good as usual, it's just hard to get the whole Cavie's package when they don't march! They should be a lock on 4th place!

Santa Clara Vanguard were awesome. I wish I could have seen the show on the field because it sounded great with many neat visuals. They are seeded 1st going into Orlando and appear to have earned their spot. My pick to win it all this week!

Madison Scouts were the crowd favorite tonight and were mine also. I just have to understand what they are doing is very appealing to the crowd and is played with much excitement. They were wonderful and will make the top 6...just where in that mix I'm not speculating.

All in all a good performance by all of the members and a damp night but a well attended show, full on concert side 6000+ and most of the fans seemed happy to hear these great drum corps! Good Luck to them all in Orlando!
