Post by RCCMelloChick » Sun Feb 08, 2004 12:36 am

We(RCC Marching Tigers) played 'In the Stone', 'What is Hip', 'God bless the Child', and 'America'. it was a lot of fun and it was a good show. :wav: The ending was awesome with the tweaked american flags and I personally think it was one of the most interesting parts of the show.

our competition march was Who's Who's in Navy Blue

Our field show was:
Fanfare-"Un" Common Fanfare
Opener-Camptown Races

I like that show it was really fun especially performing it in at the Fiesta Bowl, that was really fun.

Let me help you out...

That song is from Andrew Lloyd Webber's:
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat"
"It is your destiny to be the leader who uses this event to rally a city, a nation...a world"

"Its not what you do or what you say, but HOW you do it that matters the most"
