Report from Andy Hewlett...
"Five Corps in new classes of competition today saw,
Staffordshire Knights and Concord in National Open Class, with Black
Knights, Senators and Kidsgrove Scouts in International Open Class.
Staffordshire Knights set up on the field in their traditional black
uniforms with pink trim. This is a young Corps in the process of
rebuilding, who have taken the bold step of moving up from last years
Junior Class. Conducted by a familiar looking Drum Major, and
presenting a show of James Bond music, the Knights hit a strong
opening statement, which lead into a mallet section before the horns
rejoined with the familiar tones of “Live and Let die.”
It soon became clear that these young members were handling the step
up very well, whilst a clearly experienced staff had resisted the
temptation to push them to far to fast, with a show that will
challenge the Corps without being unobtainable. The scenery of the
famous James Bond tunnel was a nice touch, and I particularly enjoyed
the Guards use of double purple and mauve flags in “For your Eyes
Only” At the end of the show the Corps left field to the strains of
“Nobody Does it Better” from the pit, which brought it to a fine
conclusion."
