Capella made David G. Hill's top 32!!!  Check it out HERE.  

SCGC and WGI World Championships

I have been a bad blogger!  Sorry for taking so long to post an update, but it has been a busy couple of weeks.   SCGC Championships were held at Vanderbilt Arena last weekend in Nashville.  The Koi were brilliant and took home the Gold Medal.   All went well, except for the show delay due to a tornado in the area.   A big thank you to Tim Vaughn and Mt Juliet High School for their support throughout the season!!    Do you love the fish fedoras?  

WGI World Championships were amazing!!  The fish placed 11th in Open Class Finals.  Being our first year in Open class, we were thrilled!  

Highlights:

A big thank you to Eklipse, Elysian and Kickapoo for helping us with the carp tarp.  We appreciate the love and support of our SCGC family and Robby's girls!!!  Gus...your fish fedora is coming!!

Congratulations to Spectrum for being bumped into Open class during the season and making it into finals.  We were actually tied for 10th, after Prelims.  How ironic....we purchased the "bacon" tarp from them at the beginning of the season.  It was great to be standing next to them at retreat and it was wonderful to meet Amy in person!!    

Due to the infamous "toin coss", we ended up next to our Northgate friends, who are our "tunnel buddies".  Congrats on a great season!  Hey Ginger...stop following me!!  :)

It was quite an emotional moment to see our little Andy, performing and earning the gold with Avon!   You were spectacular and we love you!!!

Madam's Medals:
Gold to Warren Central/Carmel - Scholastic World
Silver to NEI/Zydeco/Braddock - Ind World
Bronze to my doppleganger in Sacred Heart - Work it Madam!! 

Lowlights:

Toin Coss  :)
Ruts in floor at Prelims
98 degrees in rehearsal facility and glass booby traps
Chatty girls at Open Prelims - Take it outside!!!

I will miss....

My fish.   It has been nine years since my very first guard experience, as a traveling groupie.  I have never worked with a more talented and delightful group of performers.  They have been a joy and have made me a better person, just being around them.  I wish them all of the success and happiness in the world.  I will be lonely without them.

Congrats to Sara, Drew, Heath, and Rick on a beautiful show!  Thank you for letting me push your paper, and making me feel important.  It is all you.

It is that time of year where the Madam goes into hibernation for a few weeks, then looks forward to summer and drum corps!!  Woo Hoo!  The staff will be off on their summer adventures with Phantom Regiment and Music City.  Good luck to you and to our members who will be marching!!  

Stalk to you later!!   Madam
