THROW IT DOWN AT JACKSON, NJ DCI SHOW



DCI SHOW - JACKSON, NJ

SRO CROWD












NOTES ON JACKSON, NJ DCI SHOW
LINEUP:
RAIDERS
TEAL SOUND
JERSEY SURF
CROSSMEN (Marching into stadium)
CRUSADERS
CROWN
CADETS

Went deep into Jersey on Monday expecting a small crowd at a small High School Field. Wrong ...
The Jackson Liberty High School facility is huge and the football stadium was overflowing, (SRO) with fans. The show was grrreat. The Raiders and Surf, (great uniforms), continue to improve and the Teal Sound had a skillful pit drummer and entertaining show although the velvet ropes caused a little trouble. I love the Crossmen's capes and their show is always underrated. The Crossmen's color guard is still waiting on uni's but were very sharp and precise. A lot of the Corps are starting their performace as soon as they step onto the field, in one way or another. Personally, I like this and think this is very entertaining, since I have the crazy idea that the performance should start the second the Corps marches through the gate and ends when they march out. Crusaders drill is very unique and fun while the Crown has the most pleasant sound I've heard this year. They carry themselves like a championship contender. As always, the Cadets are right there. Great setting, Great crowd, Great show. Oh yeah, it did not rain.
