The Storm has arrived!
The corps had a great show last night in Toledo. Despite a 90 minute delay due to storms passing through the area, everyone kept their cool and delivered the best performance yet. We earned a score of 66.1.
Now the corps is on the road again, making a laundry stop and then driving to Decatur, Indiana tonight. Our next show is Sunday night!

Move Out!
Today was our last half day at Rickenbacker. After a great stay and a lot of hard work, we hit the road this afternoon headed for the Capital Regiment Centre here in Columbus. The corps gave a standstill concert for the bingo players and other supporters of Capital Regiment. The performance went over very well and we are looking forward to our first competition tomorrow night in Pittsburgh!

After a great day of rehearsal and a uniform fitting, the corps ran its first run through of the entire show! Things really came together today and it was amazing to be on that field tonight. We still have plenty of work to do on the show, but the drum corps mentality is finally shining through and I think we are all starting to appreciate and understand what all this hard work is for. Pittsburgh is only 5 days away and I know we're all looking forward to it!

Day 6
Rehearsal is going well here at Rickenbacker. Things were slowed down a bit today by a storm rolling through Columbus, but practice continued inside the hanger. Despite the weather we set the first portion of Movement 3 with drill and music. Over half the show is now on the field and we're looking forward to learning the rest. The staff is pushing us hard, but the results are starting to show.
Hoping for better weather tomorrow,
Steph

Day 2
The bus from Virginia rolled in late last night just in time for our second day of move-ins. The corps spent the day reviewing and learning new sets for the opener. We had a successful day of rehearsal and the opener is getting much tighter.
Tomorrow we'll be focusing on learning the drill for our ballad, "Hello."
Until next time,
Steph
PS. Keep Carl's mom in your thoughts. We wish him and his family the best.

We are now on the Rickenbacker Air Force Base! A good portion of Capital Regiment is already here, and the rest of our members will be joining us over the next couple of days.
The weather is great in Columbus and the overall attitude is upbeat and optimistic. We're looking forward to a great two weeks at Rickenbacker, and everyone seems ready to go. Hope to see the rest of CapReg here soon!

Countdown to Move-Ins: 2 Days
Welcome to the Capital Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps blog for the 2009 season! You can check here throughout the season to see what the corps is up to and how we're doing as we travel the country this summer.
I'm Steph and I am one of the corps' mellophone players. Like most of the corps' members for this season, this is my first year in drum corps and I'm very excited! I'll be updating the blog as much as I can to keep everyone posted on what we're doing.
Right now we're just two days away from move-ins at Rickenbacker Air Force Base in Columbus. We'll be rehearsing there for a little over two weeks before hitting the road on June 21st.
For more information about the corps, see Capital Regiment's website: www.capitalregiment.org. Information about competitions and ticket purchases can be found on the Drum Corps International website: http://www.dci.org/schedule/?mode=corps&criteria=cc36a667-c165-4793-8a85-d3a65ada8e82.
