February 8th, 2003 (Pictures by Michele Adams)

The first show of the 2003 season was a great success. We had tons of problems, but we had TONS of fun too. We know what we have to do and are set to make this an incredible season culminating in the DCA Mini-Corps contest in September.

In the Warmup Gym. This is the on-field (on-court) warmup

Opening Set

1st Chorus

Dena's Solo

Low Brass choral entry to the ballad. If you listen carefully to the Contras you may hear something familar under all those chords....

High Brass. Also known as "Small Bores." Those flags are an awesome color. They really set the mood for the ballad

Very cool Company Front

Ending set for the first show. We're adding the finale at the next rehearsal

Mike tries to talk Jason into having the whole corps do "The Windmill" guitar move as a new "cool visual."

On-field warmup

Tai Chi grand master Nikki prepares to focus the entire energy of the corps into one swift blast. 'Mind and body are one grasshopper'

Our first show

The guard in perfect synch

Go Guard!

Bari solo in the ballad

Check out those horn angles! We match prefectly. Man, that'll never happen again....
