This is the write up for both sets of events. Let's start with the West Side Show Down, taking place on the West Coast, home of the Pacific Double-Reed Ensemble Drum and Bugle Corps.

Due to a financial screw up on my part, The Pacific Double-Reed Ensemble D&BC could only host five groups. Each were spectacular nontheless and our crowd enjoyed them very much. Everyone got a Beach pass to use whenever they wanted.

D2
The Resistance Drum and Bugle Corps (MDC-LC)
D3
1st. Le Nice Maymay Man (ICE)
2nd Spirit of Gold (MAoMA)

The First Kitchen Brigade went very well indeed. 15 groups came in, 10 came to finals last night. The top three recieved gold-silver-bronze Kitchen sink trophies, the other finalists recieved A nice Kichen sink finalist trophy, while the everyone's prize was a Kitchen Sink trophy. Yes, these trophies can shoot water out, what kind of sink doesn't shoot out water? (well, a broken one wouldn't... but) Anyway. Kitchen Brigadiers performed in exhibition.
