Semis Finals!

Lucas Oil stadium is a very intimidating venue but Revolution did a great job of delivering another strong performance and one of the best visual shows of the season! So much improvement over the course of the summer and it assures this corps their highest Open Class placement to date, now the challenge becomes to try and break 90!

Quarterfinals!

Revolution performed it's best show to date and once again took the audience on a dark journey. As we progress during the week we will no doubt ride a roller coaster of emotions, this season has truly been one of the best and it will be hard to see it come to a close.

Familiar Places, Sad Faces

We have arrived in our housing site in Michigan City and once again we are at the same site we have been the last couple of years. It is great to be back and it is great to be in contention to medal and to once again keep the finals streak alive and well. It is also sad in knowing that this will be the last week we spend together enjoying the activity we love so much. Congratulations to all the corps who have made it this far and we wish everyone to have great shows on Tuesday and give the Michigan City audience (some of the best in the activity) a great show!

We will head to Michigan City tonight and rehearse tomorrow as we prepare for quarter finals on Tuesday. Several of our corps members will also be competing in I&E in Michigan City and we know they'll do great!

Great day Dubuque!

Wonderful weather and great rehearsal time! What more can be said for our last site before we hit championship week. While we are all sad to see the season conclude, we all realize it has been a long summer and we are ready to close it out in Indy next week. For those of you coming into championship week, we will be at Edgewood Elementary in Michigan City and will be at Beach Grove High School in Indy on Friday and Saturday morning.

Music on the March and big Mosquitos

The corps has really been impressed with the size of the mosquitos in Greendale. And they thought things were always bigger in Texas!

The corps scored 86.35 tonight at the Music on the March in Greendale. They will travel a short 3 hours and head to Dubuque, IA for the Music on the March 2 on Sunday. Then it's on to Michigan City for the start of finals!

Don't forget to contact Connie Gaddy at cmgaddy@austin.rr.com if you are going to Indy. She is working on coordinating a spot to meet in Indy so we can all sit together and support our Corps!

Drums on the Chippewa

For the first time this season, the score fell a little, and really very little. Tonight's score at the Drums on the Chippewa in Eau Claire, WI was an 84.75. The corps performance time was not the greatest and they were right in the middle of the performance order. But this will only make the corps more determined and work hard tomorrow and Friday to prepare for the next competition on Friday in Greendale

The scores continue to go up & up & up . . .

Despite having a shortened rehearsal due to rain, the corps had a fine showing at the Rhythm Across Rice Lake in Rice Lake, WI with a score of 85.0! Tomorrow is an off day so hopefully the weather will cooperate and the corps can get in some good rehearsal time as they continue to do some tweaking on the show. The next few events are in fairly close proximity to each other, so no more long bus rides!

If any Revo fans are planning to attend semi finals and finals in Indianapolis, please contact Connie Gaddy at cmgaddy@austin.rr.com She is going to try and coordinate a meeting place at Lucas Oil Stadium so that all the Revo fans can sit together and show our support for all the hard work these kids have done this summer. A few posters and signs are being made so we can really show how much we love our Corps!

Chetek, WI - what a place!

Despite the injection of rain into the rehearsal schedule, the corps really enjoyed thier short stay at Chetek, HS. The people in this small resort town have been very nice and the school has bent over backwards with accommodations. We only hope the storms hold off to allow the show to go on tonight in Rice Lake, WI!
