VCL Finals

Ann Arbor, MI

This year brought exciting times in VCL season IX. With the implementation of a new scoring system everything was a little bit new. The year was filled with strong preformances by old favorites and exciting newcomers alike. Now brings an end to the season. With all that lays behind us I would like to say that there are no losers here tonight, just lesser degrees of winning. I wish all corps luck tonight.

Moment of Silence for the late Nick Miller while The Greatest Corps Ever plays his favorite song, "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes", in rememberance of a guy that was very special to all of us. Drum Corps just won't be the same without his sparkling commentary. You sure could have done it better. We'll miss you Nick.

the rest of the corps (I got tired of writing 6th place simifinalist performance, 5th place, ect. You get the idea.)

Places announced (in the event of a tie, the tied corps will be placed on opposite ends of the field with full gear, then released to fight for the place gladiator style. The corps to which the last man standing belongs will be the victor.)

10:45-

Combined Corps plays "When a Man Loves a Woman" cause it sounds cool really loud. In fact while we're at it why don't we measure the decibels while everyone plays as loud as possible. I guess we should play America/Oh Canada. If theres no Canadians we'll play "Blame Canada" instead. (no offense to any Canuks. Hows that, eh?)

Aftermath-

We here at Rebel Alliance know how excited everyone will be so we've arranged a good old-fashioned riot in the parking lot afterwards. There'll be a huge bonfire, plenty of cars for the tippin', and plenty of glass for the breakin'.
