Parking lot warmup at DCA prelims.
Minnesota Brass started Saturday with an early-morning rehearsal filled with anticipation for its afternoon performance at DCA prelims in Rochester. And what a show it was. It might have been broad daylight, but “Supernova” lit up the crowd and judging panel at Sahlen’s Stadium — good enough for a score of 96.4 and a move up from the No. 3 spot to No. 2. Along the way — as has been the routine for this exciting weekend — Minnesota Brass members and staff tweeted about the day’s events using the hashtag #mbi14. Here’s what they had to say on Twitter:
Good morning Rochester! #mbi14 #Rochester #dcaintheroc #PrelimsMorning #WalmartRun pic.twitter.com/qKbKR8YHxz
