Throwback Thursday – 2025 Santa Clara Vanguard
Once again, FloMarching comes through with an excellent Throwback Thursday video from last year's DCI World Championships. This time, it's the Santa Clara Vanguard and the closing section of their production, The aVANt GUARD. This show also marked the return of SCV to the Top 3 of DCI since 2019.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/03/19/throwback-thursday-2025-santa-clara-vanguard/
Throwback Thursday: 2025 Phantom Regiment
FloMarching threw up a clip from last season's Phantom Regiment performance for their Throwback Thursday, so I figured I'd go with the theme and post the photos I took of the corps last season.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/03/12/throwback-thursday-2025-phantom-regiment/

2025 DCI Little Rock Thoughts
I caught the DCI Little Rock show on FloMarching last Saturday. After each performance, I posted my thoughts on social media. I’ve collected those thoughts here as this was my first viewing of these corps.
Memphis Blues: Welcome to Open Class! Great to have the legacy of the Memphis Blues Brass Band on the field. Also nice you took advantage of Rhapsody In Blue going public domain this year.
Zephyrus: Welcome to Open Class! You’ve got the horses in the horn line, so be sure to […]

It’s Memorial Day here in the United States. This weekend serves as the unofficial start of summer for the country, as schools start to let out for their summer breaks. Backyard barbecues abound, families take time off from work to go on vacations, and, for me, the 2024 North America drum corps season starts!
Many drum corps across the country have already started their seasons, moving into various locations to begin their month long preparations for their seasons. As the drill sets and choreo are learned while much water is consumed and sunscreen is applied, I’m scanning the schedule to see what shows I will attend.
This season, I have performances on my schedule once again. While I am retired from marching after the 2022 Bluecoats Alumni Corps, I am going to play with the 10th anniversary Bluecoats Legacy Arc. If you’re at any of our performances, which I’ll detail in my schedule below, please be sure to check us out and say hello if you’re able.
Here are the events I plan on attending this season:
I’ll also try to catch shows streamed on FloMarching. You can find their streaming schedule here.

Ever since I first saw them on #FloMarching, I've been wanting to see a live performance of the Calgary Stampede Showband.
I finally got my chance a few days ago in Syracuse. They did not disappoint! This was one of the most fun crowd-pleasing shows that I've ever seen! If they don't come back next year, I might have to make a trip over to Alberta to see them perform at their Rodeo.
