Empire Statesmen

After three straight weekends of beautiful weather it was a different story as the Corps traveled to Jamestown, NY. Terrible humidity led to a powerful storm just before show time that threatened to cancel the night’s competition. An actual tornado touched down just miles from the show site but after a spectacular lightning show all cleared in time and the show went on as scheduled. The Empire Statesmen took on powerhouse Minnesota Brass for the first time since last year’s DCA Championships. When all was said and done the Empire Statesmen ended up on top winning the show with a final score of 86.17.

Your next chance to catch the show is on Saturday, August 7th in Kingston, NY.

Once again it was a perfect weekend for Drum Corps.   The Corps traveled to the beautiful country side of Lewisburg, PA.   With temps in the 90’s it was a very hot & humid day for all.   When the Corps took the field at 8:30pm on the lush campus of Bucknell University the temps were still in the high 80’s!

The huge crowd of close to 5000 were on their feet loving the Corps version of OZ!  At the end of the night when all was said and done the Corps finished in 2nd place with a score of 83.96.  

Your next chance to catch the show is on Saturday, July 24th in Jamestown, NY.
