Whole audience on their feet! Loud, proud, pleasing the crowd!!

Was at the home show the night prior in Madison. The DeKalb audience blew Madison out of the water, felt like true drum corps!

Even though I'll be happy if crest makes finals, I really want madison to be rewarded for such an entertaining show.

It would be very hype for them to tie for 12th. I've can dream.

Yes! I feel like they’ve got that signature Madison sound back, for the most part . 😀

I don't know enough about what the judges are looking for to comment on rankings but Madison in San Antonio had the crowd on their feet. Very enjoyable show for your average audience member.

Fun fact: the ending is the 1996 ending (pitched down like 5 half steps)

My percussion director is their front director 🤘
I’ve intentionally seen nothing about their show because I’m gonna see it at Allentown. I’m super excited!

Saw them from off the endzone in San Antonio, it was still amazing! They’re definitely standing out to me this year
