DCI Siloam Springs Review
Siloam Springs, Arkansas was the scene for a great showcase of some of the top corps including Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Boston Crusaders, Colts, Blue Knights, Mandarins, and Revolution. Though hot, lots of trees and a setting sun set the stage for a great evening of drumming.
Let me preface this review, I didn't get to all the warmups, and for good reason. I am currently on crutches and some of the widespread warmup areas made it difficult to get to all of them. I tried the best I could and got to 80% of the warmups. Sorry to you Carolina Crown fans, they were tracking all over a parking lot on the other side of a shopping center and was just too far for me. As for Mandarins and Revolution, we didn't get there in time to see them but for a minute or two. And Bluecoats, well, I made it to part of the warmup, but it was already dark and therefore made no sense to try shooting photos, but I did get a video clip (mainly audio). So, enjoy the pictures and check out the video clips of each corp.

Colts Cymbal Line, looking and sounding great as usual.
