Finals Report from DCUK site

The five corps that made up the Junior Class line-up put some of the youngest kids I’ve ever seen on the field through sometimes challenging paces, performed admirably.

The Concord All-Stars’ 18 young people did a standstill concert and represent a 25-year continuous string of the Sheffield corps’ participation in DCUK competition, unequalled by any other group in Great Britain. Their fanfare group also appeared to open the finals, made up of older members from the Concord organization. Director Roger Steele is working hard to give his members a great experience in the activity.

The 37th Kingswood Cadets had 21 in the drill, performing to a James Bond-themed show that also included selections from “The Pink Panther.” Their staff was all dressed in suits that gave a very good impression for this group.

Black Knight Cadets performed tunes from “The Lion King.” One guard member was hard to not notice as he was having a fantastic time spinning his flag and enjoying performing. They put out 19 members and showed great promise for future spots in their “big brother” corps.

Also a feeder corps, the Kidsgrove Scout Juniors had a theme called “Take A Chance” and their 21 members belted out a show that they thoroughly enjoyed performing. Again, this group bodes well for the future of their Open Class corps.

The final corps in the Junior Class was 6th Hove B with another James Bond-centered production. The 15 members had uniforms similar to their older corps and have a good sense of what it takes to put a solid show on the field.
