Chris Leone, a senior business major from Midlothian, Va.; Chris Lennox, a sophomore music major from Bear; Ed Brainard, a senior economics major from Wilmington, and Wayne Gibson, a senior engineering major from Port Republic, Md., performed in the competition. Leone marched top bass drum for the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps that won the world championship and gold medal, Lennox marched bass four for the Phantom Regiment that finished second and captured the first-place high percussion award. Brainard marched bass five for the Madison Scouts, and Gibson played in the front ensemble for the Bluecoats. The Bluecoats and Madison Scouts finished fourth and ninth, respectively, from a starting field of 23 corps. The Cavaliers are located in Rosemont, Ill., the Phantom Regiment in Rockford, Ill., Bluecoats in Canton, Ohio, and the Madison Scouts in Wisconsin.
