Thanks to Butch Kolosso on ramd for this review! Decorah Kilties on first, nice to see a corps back in the area....the kids are very very very young. They attempted some extremely hard drill for kids this young. It didn't work, but lots of potential if the kids stick with this corps. Great showing for their first show ever! Marquis from Fond du Lac. Intriguing show with African theme (ie Robert Smith....Magic '94) Looks like a promising show for them in division III. Blue Star's show was Appalachian Spring. Nice show. Blue Star will be in the hunt in division III as usual. Color guard has some nice work, but is a fairly young guard for the Blue team. It will be nice to see what their book ends up looking like. Capital Sound blew me away. I was expecting them to be much younger. Some pretty sophisticated stuff going on out on the field. Was particularly impressed with the rifle line ( i.e. toss from field level up to a member on top of a ladder. Horn line sounded really nice. They should do well this year. Pioneer was awesome. They truly have an open class horn line, they scored a 57, so all the talk about them needing to move up is absolutely 100 percent correct. How many division II rings do you need? Americanos have an intriguing show that will fill out as soon as all members are in Appleton. They do need to use a drum major this year as the battery and the horn line lost each other a lot. The color guard is big, very young, but a lot of raw talent which will be utilized. Show was very South Beach...Gloria Estefan. Colts.....WOW!!!! this is the Colts... very sophisticated show. Horn book, drill, etc.etc....the best color guard I have ever seen the Colts put on a field. Movement is the key word here. Madison Scouts.......need I say more....I was totally spent after their performance. The crowd was up and down thru the whole show. Horn line blew me away. Should be in contention this year. Malaguena was absolutely stunning, Bolero was the real show stealer for me though as Malaguena has been my favorite song to put on a field since I can remember. Percussion section....HOT. Color Guard....HOT. Nice performance and scored in the 70's first show out.... Yahoo!
