Thanks to DRumCOrpsJ on r.a.m.d for this review! Downsizing has spread to Drum Corps?? Velvet Knights 46 Horns 6 snare, 3 tenors 4 bass drums 11 guard ???? -new unis Blue Nasa type jumpsuits with white belts, blue VK baseball caps and RED CONVERSE HIGH TOP TENNIES! Guard unis are spaceage and awesome, all silver that is almost chrome, great effect but only 11?? -Space show has some nice spots with room for plenty of room for antic additions, but too many dead spots now. They won't make top twelve. Blue Knights 42 Horns 7 snare, 3 tenor, 4 bass drums 28 guard I liked the show better than last year, but the sop line just dies to the point of almost losing it. A lot of young players. Won't make top twelve. Santa Clara 58 Horns (with a few holes yet) 7 snare, 4 tenor, 5 bass drums 30 guard -new unis These will take some getting used to, but they look really sharp! The bottom half is such a dark green that it looks black, with the white top half it appears pretty basic, but the copper cross belt is a NICE look. Beautiful show and they are really well prepared this year. They are going to be up in the fight this year. They guard REALLY adds to the show with FLAGS ONLY. A great use of stunning color to accent the show. Blue Devils 66 Horns (Yikes!) 7 snare, 4 tenors 5 bass drums (why smaller?) 36 guard!!!!!!! - Gaurd unis are multi colored earth tones and do nothing to accent the corps, flags and equipment have no effect. -Gangster music is a great show, but I think you need to see this more than once to really get into it, although it is quite awesome the first time around. - I know the 76 will get criticized, but you ought to see these guys in June before you say anything, there isn't a whole hell of a lot left to clean, THEY ARE STRONG AND GOOD. - Concord Show tomorrow night Jay
