Homeward Bound

In an attempt to save time, the corps took a shortcut leaving the Indianapolis area. The truck got stuck in mud, and the time lost in getting the truck back on the road put them several hours behind.

Currently, the members of the corps are at the movies and/or in a mall in Little Rock while the drivers are getting much needed rest. They should be back on the road to Dallas at 10 pm. There is an expected layover in Dallas of five hours, making the estimated arrival time in San Antonio between 9 and 10 pm Monday evening.

See you there.

DCI Open Class Finals

Competition for 2008 is over. Revolution finished 8th place in the finals and were pleased with their performance. Lisa D of the guard got hurt in the show with a rifle, but she is doing fine with a cut on her lip. Corps members received a DCI finalist patch (cannot be purchased - must be earned) and a medal for their efforts.

The corps should be leaving Indiana soon (if not already gone) and will be on the road overnight, with a planned stop in Little Rock, Arkansas. The layover in Little Rock will allow the drivers their required sleep before hitting the road again. The corps will have a free day at a local mall before resuming their trip to San Antonio. They should arrive at St. Girad's Catholic High School sometime around noon on Monday. Will see you there.

Revolution DCI Open Class Final

Revolution will compete at 11:20 am EST, that will be 10:20 am CST.

DCI Open Class Semi-Finals

We are finalists!!!

Drum line scored an 18.55 out of 20 and the Brass line scored 18.1 out of 20. Again, both were near perfection.

I will post tomorrow's show time when it becomes available.

The corps is returning to the housing, this evening, to get in one more rehearsal. Even though they were 8th today, a couple of the groups ahead of Revolution slipped a little. If Revolution stays focused, they could possibly take advantage of the other's weaknesses and move up a position or two tomorrow.

Around 8:30 this evening, the corps members who will age-out this year will return to the Championship Stadium for presentation at the final ceremonies.

Today's Menu
Breakfast = Cold Cereal
Lunch = Taco Salad at the stadium
Dinner = Buffet of left overs and sandwiches

Final All Day Work Out for 2008 Tour

The sky is blue with 72 degrees and little humidity. The housing site is wonderful with use of the high school's stadium and lights in the evening for practice. A beautiful park behind the stadium may be used for group and individual pictures later. A great place to finish this year's tour.

The Lindbergs and the Delgatos have visited the housing site, along with a special visitor. The Delgatos arrived in time to help out with lunch. Evan Morgan made a surprise visit to the site. Evan currently lives in the area and is a former staff member, director, and board member of Revolution. He was very impressed with the corps, their program, and their attitudes.

Yesterday's Revolution participants and scores in the solo and ensemble contest were as follows;

Amanda Montalvo = scored 93 and placed 3rd on flute
Yasumasa Yamodo = scored 90.5 and placed 4th on snare
Rieko Enomoto = scored 80 on snare
Adrian Ramirez = scored 88 on flag
Jessica Ganem = scored 86.6 on auxiliary
Mrianda Lindberg = scored 85.5 on flag

All six of the contestants represented Revolution with the highest degree of professionalism and are to be commended for their efforts.

For those who have access to broadcast via computer, Revolution will be on the field at 9:42 am CST tomorrow. The schedule lists them at 10:42 am, but that is EST. Tomorrow the corps will have cold cereal for breakfast, taco salad on site for lunch, and dinner will be on their own. Those who are short on money will have access to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.


Today's Menu
Breakfast = Cold Cereal
Lunch = Pasta with corn, green beans, and mushrooms
Dinner = Shepherd's Pie with pudding and vanilla wafers

On the road to Indianapolis

With a score of 86.225 and 8th place in the quarter-finals, Revolution is solidly in the semi-finals. The percussion scored an 18.35 out of 20, and the brass scored a 17.1 out of 20 ... both were near perfection. They will be performing at 10:56 EST on Friday morning (for those who have access to the web-cast). This group has come a long way since June, and whatever happens, the corps, and their teaching staff should be very proud of what they have accomplished.

Today will be mostly a free day. The corps is in route to the Indianapolis Convention Center for solo and ensemble contest. Several members are in competition, and the corps will be in attendance to add support. They will leave the convention center around 5:30 pm and head to their housing site (which they will occupy through Saturday) for dinner and rehearsal.

Daily Menu
Breakfast = Boxed cold cereal (many of the corps members were excited because they had a choice of brand names instead of the generic sacks, ie; Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Trix, and etc.)
Lunch = the corps will be on their own at the convention center. For the members who are out of money, they have packages of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and leftover pasta salad.
Dinner = Elevated sandwiches (with lettuce and tomatoes)

DCI Open Class Prelims

Tonight, Revolution will go on at 6:45 p.m. CST. Our corps is slotted in 8th place, but we have not had head to head competition against a couple of the corps slotted ahead of us. Out of tonight's competition, the top seventeen will advance to the semis-finals on Friday, and the top twelve from that event will proceed to the finals on Saturday. Several visual and musical changes have been made that should strengthen our chances in the competition tonight.

Six of our corps will be participating in the individual competition tomorrow night and the entire corps will be in attendance to cheer on our fellow members. A list of the individual competitors should be posted here tomorrow.

Tomorrow's residence will be Manuel High School at 2405 Madison Ave. in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Michigan City, Indiana

Last night was the most difficult competition to date. Both Blue Devils B, the West Coast circuit leader, and Jersey Surf, the East Coast circuit leader, were in attendance and won the gold and silver respectively. Revolution came in 6th with a score of 83.075. A few problems in the visuals, but the leadership believes they have made the required changes and the corps should do well in the prelims tomorrow evening.

The corps arrived in Michigan City around 4 am. They were awakened early this morning and moved to other rooms. It seems the elementary school in which they are staying is already in session and the corps was assigned the wrong block of rooms when they arrived. The process was a little disruptive, but all is well now.

This morning, during the move, there was a thunderstorm out side, but now it is cloudy with some drizzle. The weather is cool and definitely not humid, much better than previous heat and humidity they have had to endure.

Menu:
Breakfast = Cold cereal
Lunch = Chicken ranch pasta
Dinner = Baked potato casserole

Dayton Summer Classic

Last night's show was good. Revolution came in second behind the Oregon Crusaders. Revolution scored an 84.1 and the Crusaders scored an 86.15. Revolution continues to improve.

Arrived in Dayton for the "Summer Classic". The weather is not exactly cool, but it is not humid and the corps should be more comfortable. The Tennessee weather was a tad short of unbearable.

The middle/school complex, where Revolution was scheduled to stay, housed eight different corps. The hosts moved Revolution to Morrison Elementary School about five minutes away. The exact address is unknown at the submission of this update, but the accommodations appear good.

The ensemble rehearsal today will be with jackets. It seems that the past rehearsals have been good, but something happens when the jackets go on for the show. The corps has opted for partial dress rehearsals in hopes that everyone will be used to the jackets for competition.

A couple of the scheduled corps are no shows, so the order of the competition may be adjusted.

Breakfast = Cold cereal and bananas
Lunch = Beef tacos with corn
Dinner = Chili-mac with green beans

DCA - Music City Metal II: The Southern Drum Coprs Showdown

The weather in Tennessee has been hot and humid (much like Houston). The hope is that when they get to Ohio, the weather will be more comfortable.

Revolution came in third last night with a score of 81.3. There were a few small problems that can easily be fixed in rehearsal. The weather began to cool down at the end of Revolutions show and may have effected their sound. Otherwise, the corps did a very good job and they can be proud of their performance.

Although tonight is a DCA show, the judges are DCI certified and Revolution will be scored accordingly. The Velvet Knights and the Oregon Crusaders (two other DCI open class corps) will be in the competition also. Tonight will be a valid competition.

Breakfast = Fruity Cream of Wheat

Tennesee "Music in Motion" Show Day

Corps will have an abbreviated rehearsal schedule today, due to the required 2 1/2 hour drive from Clarksville to the the show site in McKenzie, Tennessee. Housing sites are arranged by the show host and the Clarksville site was the luck of the draw. That being said, the stay in Clarksville has been great. Last night, the Clarksville band and director came to watch, and they treated our corps like super stars. The corps responded with the best rehearsal to date. The horn line continues to radically improve and should be prepared for the show tonight.

Tonight's show is going to be the toughest to date. Several of the corps in the west coast circuit will be in attendance. It will be a good test for the upcoming championships next week.

Daily Menu
Breakfast = Cereal with bananas
Snack at Noon = Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
Lunch prior to departure for show = Shepard Pie (yesterday's meal had to be reshuffled and Shepard Pie was changed out)
Dinner after show = Holiday (a lot of extra ingredients) Pasta Salad

On the road to Tennesee

Trip was slowed by a 3 am breakdown on the percussion bus. The bus company sent out repairmen and the corps is again on the road.

Since there was a delay, the day's menu has had to be rearranged. Cold cereal was served and to efficiently use the time, the corps had small block sectionals while waiting for the repairs to be completed.

They should be arriving late today at the Clarksville's Heritage High School in Tennessee for a two day stay.
