I marched DCI and DCA in early 80s, snare and tenors.

Great opening day for everyone. Utopia and Spinnerettes starting strong in d1.

Pandemonium NZ B already in the top 9 in d2, awesome job! Constitution Guard and Allusion are already neck and neck and have promising starts.

Many groups in d3 are representing well. Just to name a few, Flying Colors (2nd), Auric Midnight (9th), Red Eagles (11th), Purple Panthers (12th), Caramel Guard (14th). If you keep up the rehearsing, ROTC should have a great showing come finals!

Oh man, I'm excited for this season. My color guard is already coming up on top 12 in D3, even though i shirked on rehearsing, a lot during preseason.

Best wishes to all guards entered in tonight's ROTC Opener and across all of FMA.

Just curious, but what stadium do you guys plan on using for ROTC oklahoma city? I know that the Oklahoma University has a nice stadium, but it is not inside OKC, so i was wondering what the plan was.
PS I live just outside of OKC

It'll be on the University of Oklahoma's main campus in Norman at the McCasland Field House, a multi-purpose indoor arena.

Awesome, My guard will be very excited to come to there home town and perform for a local audience!

So just curious, but how do you guys recommend to rehearse you guards? I recently have just been doing everythng at once, but it's not that effective, and I just don't know how to do it any better.

I put a lot of emphasis on the green side. Especially GE. That's something I did when I first started after looking at how each of the captions are weighted. I think it worked out for me.

Just don't go too crazy on the GE and blindly disregard Equipment, Movement, and Ensemble

I'll work on that, thanks!

Cool, live long and prosper. ^(-,-)^ \\//

All in all, it's really a matter of experimenting, seeing what works and what doesn't. Trying things out, trial and error, etc.

GL ROTC!

I'm very sad to announce that this will be the final season that the Tornado Color guard will be competing with ROTC. We have decided that a change of scenery and style is what is best for us right now, and so We've decided that starting in season 42, Tornado Color guard will be competing for the newest color guard league FLAG. We are very thankful for what ROTC has helped us achieve, and we will miss all the awesome league events.
Thank you guys so much!
