Well, what a night! With the end of Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3, we in the FMADC community take a look back at the successes and short-comings, the friends made and our goals for this coming Season.
Tonight, before a roaring crowd, our boys in the Druids Drum & Bugle Corps played their hearts out and were rewarded for their efforts. They landed 4th place in Div III, scoring a 67.300-- a great achivement for their first Season back. The green, orange, and gold represented the Isles well and brought back home another plaque for the "band room".
Also, what a rush of applause from the audiance when the Druids finally revealed the ending tag to their show! Right as Night on Bald Mountain came to a close, the entire corps (now adorning black masks, as they have all become part of her nightmare) corned Sally on her bed, and WHAM! she gets sucked down under in a massive flurry of corps uniforms and black ribbons! Complete silence, then the non-stop standing ovation. Incredible!
And, well, that's that of Season 2. Season 3 shows big promise with Mr. Orsborn's magnum opus "Man Vs. Machine", as well as the new Shamrock Marching Band with a classic, "The Planets". Be sure to come out to one of the group's home shows at Croke Stadium in Dublin, Ireland!
