If Cincinnati Tradition is scoring in the low 80s now, then they're on track to break 90 by championships, which they've only managed once before (at Prelims in 2018).
And Columbus Saints have never scored as high as 69 before the final week of the season, so this could be a breakout year for them.
But that depends on DCI getting the scores right.

Watch out! I’m honestly very excited to see all of them!! Unfortunately I can’t stay to see BAC, BD or Bloo, which sucks, but I will be able to stay as late to see SCV, PR, and the Mandies, so I’m really excited!

DCI Northern Ohio Scores ...Also looking forward to N.E. Brigand thoughts on the event! Glad to oblige. I forgot my notebook, and there was no souvenir program in which to make notes, so my comments will be brief. The hot dogs and pretzels were not very good. They were also selling ice cream by the pint, but I restrained myself. I didn't buy my ticket in advance, forgetting that you can't actually buy them in person. Some people showed up with cash and were pretty frustrated. And what service are we paying for with the $6.95 per ticket service fee -- on a $20.00 ticket, mind you! -- if there's nobody at the box office to serve you? (Can't they just incorporate the fee into the price and mislead consumers less?) The fine print appeared to suggest that the service fee was meant in part to cover the cost of parking, but they were charging $5.00 per car to park. And that was cash only. This is Brunswick's first year hosting a DCI show. They host their own band competition every October, and for many years they were also the site for one day (sometimes one day plus one additional evening) of the OMEA state finals. I think Avon Lake, which had hosted a DCI show for about the past ten years, has more charm overall, but Brunswick will do. One nice aspect of Brunswick's stadium in cold or wet weather -- which was not the case tonight -- is that the concessions and restrooms are located under the bleachers, where it's dry, screened from the wind, and pretty roomy. It's a pretty tall high school stadium (as is Avon Lake), and the seats in the center section are seats not bleachers, which is nice. Unfortunately, the stands were less than half full. I hope they can build on this next year. A Brunswick High School brass ensemble did a good job playing "The Star-spangled Banner." One more general comment: every group (except possibly Spartans) was over-amplified. Way too much pit in that balance! Rhythm in Blue, "Shift"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/RhythmInBlue-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) This SoundSport ensemble doesn't have their closer on the field yet, and what they did present needs a lot of cleaning. It seems less ambitious than last year's show. Very limited visually. There is a flute solo. One of their performers appeared to faint right after the performance and was carried to the track. There was a small delay while that person was being checked out, and cheers from the audience when they were able to stand up and walk to a golf cart. Columbus Saints, "Lenox Avenue: Midnight"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/ColumbusSaints-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) Columbus Saints did perform, but they appeared to have some holes, so I guess they must have asked not to be scored tonight. There's no way tonight's performance should come anywhere near the 69 they scored in Bellbrook the night before. (I'd put it closer to 60.) And I think even if everyone were there, they'd still be a tiny corps. Tonight they had just five brass players. The show shares its title with a Langston Hughes poem -- which is recited during the show by a prerecorded narrator -- about a famous street in Harlem. "And the gods are laughing at us." The poem was published in The Weary Blues in 1926. That's more than 95 years ago, which means it's in the public domain. Rogues Hollow Regiment, "27"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/RoguesHollowRegiment-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) This is not the first time that RHR has been influenced by The Doors. This year's show tells a story (with narration at the top and between movements): a guitarist named Justin strikes a deal with the devil to become a star knowing that, like Jim Morrison and four other famous musicians, his life will end at age 27. Yes, it is a bit morbid. They don't seem as tight as they did last year, but they can get there over the next three weeks. I would have scored them a point or two lower tonight, but the show was so much better than the two preceding it that you could feel the relief from the audience. Cincinnati Tradition, "From a Stone"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/CincinnatiTradition-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) I felt that CT also was a little overscored, but the gap from RHR was about right. They need to clean a lot, but this production has the potential to be their best show to date. In general, I wonder if the challenges caused by a shorter season for All Age corps this year are being offset by an influx of members who previously had too many school obligations before the Labor Day championships to participate. I browsed the souvenir booths during intermission: Columbus Saints, Cincinnati Tradition, River City Rhythm, and The Battalion. I have bought a lot of t-shirts over the years, mostly show shirts and generally based on how eye-catching the design is. Nothing jumped out at me in the selection tonight. River City Rhythm, "Mine"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/RiverCityRhythm-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) This is the strongest show I've seen from River City Rhythm. I thought they should have been closer to The Battalion. Their highest score ever is 73.30 in both 2019 and 2022; I think they're sure to beat that this year, probably by a couple points. Field coverage is somewhat limited. It turns out the show actually does have an echo of Finding Nemo: the title has a double meaning. If the All Age and Open classes were competing against one another, I think Cincinnati Tradition would fall about here, trading various captions with River City Rhythm. The Battalion, "Dead Reckoning"![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/Battalion-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) On The Battalion's t-shirts, the show has a subtitle referencing the Spanish Armada. There is narration at the beginning and end. The show is announced by a prerecorded narrator with a Spanish accent. They appear to be bigger than RCR. They move and play very little, but their size and design really help with GE. They could use their props more, and they really need to shape the music and give it more dynamic contrast. The show closes with the final lines of Tennyson's 1842 poem, "Ulysses," which people nowadays may know best for its appearance about halfway through the James Bond film Skyfall (Judi Dench's character recites those lines). Spartans, "Youtopia" ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u35/NE_Brigand/Spartans2-2024-07-20.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds) Blue Devils B and Gold are quite good, so I'm not predicting that Spartans will successfully defend their Open Class championship with this show that's still very dirty, but this is good stuff. Some tricky meters and rhythms. And so much guard! Will something further happen with the props? Although it's a full-length, the conclusion didn't quite feel like an ending. I thought there should be more room between Spartans and Battalion, but I also can understand not scoring Spartans higher with more than two weeks to go to Open Class championships. I did not buy a 50/50 ticket. The Battalion performed an encore consisting of two movements from their show, a brass warm-up, and what I assume was their corps song.
