Cadets take season opener in return to Indy
Yesterday, five of Drum Corps International’s World Class corps came together in Indianapolis for Opening Night '14. The Cadets topped the first contest.
As the corps buses rolled into the parking lot of Ben Davis High School, grey clouds rolled in right along with them. Rain showers and an occasional flash of lightning were enough to delay the start. By 7.30 p.m., the rough weather had passed, corps began warming up, and eager fans lined up at the stadium gates to enter the stadium.
The Cadets kicked off their season with a first-place finish with a score of 72.10, sweeping the captions and bumping last year’s defending World Champion, Carolina Crown, into second place. Carolina Crown members earned a second-place (70.80) finish with their show 'Out Of This World'.
Phantom Regiment placed third (68.30) with its show 'Swan Lake'. The Cavaliers performed their sinister program, 'Immortal', earning them fourth place (67.30). A high point on the score sheets for the Green Machine was third in percussion, outscoring Phantom Regiment by half a point.
The Troopers from Casper, Wyoming had the honor of presenting the first notes of the summer as they opened the show in Indianapolis. Drum Major Justin Anderson led his corps as they performed their show 'A People’s House', earning fifth place with a score 61.70.
