Gulf Coast Sound (Winter) Drum & Bugle Corps

January 19th, 2002

The first show of the 2002 Winter Guard\Corps season was a success. The corps took the field (court) around 7 PM after a pretty long rehearsal day. Although we had numerous problems with phasing at Friday's rehearsal, everything 'clicked' Saturday night. The show was far from perfect, but we proved that the concept does work. The audience seemed a little skeptical at first, but by the halfway point they were acting like a drum corps crowd and cheering at all the right places.

GCS is competing in Independent World Class
The final score was 43.8

The score may seem low, but that is due to the fact that MCM really should be judged on Independent A Class sheets. But, because the average age of the hornline is about 28, we have to compete as World Class.  However, the judges loved the show and the concept. This isn't about winning, it's about having fun and entertaining the audience.
