June 10 Review: Menasha, WI
DCM 
Thanks to Bob Doran on the rec.arts.marching.drumcorps newsgroup!

First show jitters and a difficult spring for rehearsals left all the corps shaky, to say the least. There are going to be some great moments in drum corps around here, however.

Racine Scouts: A nice little corps. Numbers are hurting them...about 10 horns, 10 percussion, no guard. Spirited and talented kids do a great job with fun tunes like, Popeye the Sailor and What do ya do With a Drunken Sailor.

Americanos: A much smaller corps than last year playing music from Bizet. Fine percussion line; talented guard; hornline is small (less than 20), but don't be fooled by this weekend...they will be crowd-pleasers again this year.

Capital Sound: What a giant leap from last year. Good numbers in all sections... and talented. This corps could content for Division II DCI Championships.

Pioneer: Well, who knows? Larger corps this year that looks great on the field. Solid percussion line. Not sure about the brass line and its ability to pull-off this rendition of Brigadoon (sorry guys, I like the 1997 Kilts' arrangement better). This arrangement, as another fan said, would be great with a hornline of 50+.

Blue Stars: Did not get to see them on the field...but watching the drum line rehearse...this is going to be a solid line...one of the best in Division II. Guard is talented and seems to have better numbers than last year.

Kilties: Well, I will try to be objective. Kilts are in a transition year for many reasons. Horn line is solid and almost in mid-season form. New style of opener is a crowd-pleaser with some powerful moments...but "is a bit redundant", says one fan...Loch Lomond/Scotland is beautiful and exciting...fans stood throughout the closer both evenings. Let's face it, the percussion line is small and experiencing some problems but is pulling off an interesting book. Talented guard is very small, but drill arranger has worked them nicely into the show. A difficult total package that needs a lot of cleaning by DCM.

Madison Scouts: Whew. A strong, powerful and entertaining show...but we were spoiled in 1999--a show which I believe was one of the most exciting and entertaining shows in dc history. The 2000 show has large shoes to fill. Another dynamic warm-up leading into a powerful opener...and the difficulty of the brass show should make a statement to the top four from 1999. Percussion line is even stronger than last year's. Madison will contend for a top-four spot at DCI.

Colts: Got only a glimpse of them. New uniforms and a huge, powerful horn line...only half their show is finished...but the Colts will be one of my favorites again this year...crowd loved what they were seeing.

Early season stuff, hot weather, a 2.5 mile parade in Appleton, mosquitoes you could saddle...these things contributed to some rough moments in everyone's shows...and this year's compacted DCM schedule will not help matters...should be a great year for drum corps...especially in Division II.

Will look forward to seeing Cavs, Phantom and a complete Colts show next weekend.
