Ishpeming, MI - Bugler's Holiday Govenaires...............76.2 Kilties..................73.1 Ishpeming Blue Notes.....67.5 Chicago Vanguard.........61.6 VANGUARD - They did not march full corps. They only had 4 guard, 13 brass, and 6 percussion; none of the percussion marched. Overall, I thought they played very well, although I thought they did too much Park & Blow. This was the first time I have seen them this year, and I enjoyed their show. I would like to have seen it with full corps. BLUE NOTES - First organized in 1984, this was their first competition as a Senior Drum & Bugle Corps. They mainly do concerts and exhibitions. They opened their show with "Stars & Stripes Forever" with a soprano playing the piccolo solo. One thing I didn't really like about their show was that they stood still for the entire second piece. Other than that, I thought they did an excellent job for their first competition. KILTIES - This was the first time I've seen them, too. I really enjoyed their show, except for the fact that they only had 5 guard, and they didn't do much. What they did do was all back field, so I couldn't really see what they were doing. They had a lot of fun on the field, but they didn't let it interfere with their performance. GOVENAIRES - Although I thought they should have placed below the Kilties, I really enjoyed their show. Their guardwork was really clean, and they play well to gether as an ensemble. Before the grand finale, each corps performed an encore, which was basically a whole show, but without moving. It was exciting, but it got a little bit long. By the time the grand finale started, most of the crowd had left. Lani A. Weingartner Future NA Bari Thanks to Lani A.
