Well guys, just finished last practice for the season, fresh out of showers and in uniform. The kids are quite excited.They wish to congratulate all finalists for Season 36.

Both our competing groups, Aftershock NZ - Div III drum corps, and Black Beat NZ - Div III drumline, are in their first year of competition.

Aftershock NZ - was ranked 16th going into prelims. With a few show tweeks and a lot of dedication, these kids thrilled the audience, jumping into 12th for semis, and maintaining that to compete in their first finals. While we don't expect to medal, we are hoping to gain an extra point or two. The judging panel looks quite favorable. Aftershock NZ is member of MDC-LC.

Black Beat NZ - steadily climbed up the ranks throughout the season. Moved up a place to finish prelims and semis in a solid 11th. These kids do what they know best, entertain their audience. Lets hope the judges agree. Black Beat NZ is a member of MDL-LC.

Sounds like a great first season!
