Me too but I really like the possibilities a 180~ member band can have. A bit bigger than a world class drum corps which fits much better for a marching band in my opinion. The audition rubrics sound very thorough and strict so far.
Reagan's show this year was fantastic. Easily the best one they've put out in recent years. Leander and Hebron were also personal favorites of mine. Such emotional and entertaining music from both.
Is there any chance Blue Springs could come to texas? I just love those guys. I was in shock when they didn't make finals. Their show this year had to be one of my favorites.
