CONGRATULATIONS TO SPOKANE THUNDER!!!
Spokane Thunder finished the 2008 competitive season with their best performance ever, scoring a 91.025 in the first-ever DCI Open Class World Championships in Bloomington Indiana. Before an enthusiastic crowd of around 4500, Thunder was outstanding! Their score was enough to finish in 7th place.
In addition, Spokane Thunder was named as the Open Class Most Improved Corps!! THIS IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN THUNDER'S HISTORY! THANK YOU TO THE STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, THE PARENTS, AND (ESPECIALLY) THE OUTSTANDING, CLASSY, HARD-WORKING YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CORPS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!!!

A QUICK MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR This has truly been a magical season so far! Our accomodations have been great, the food has been wonderful, we've had tremendous support and feedback from our audiences, and if you take a look at our scores, we're going places we've never been before! The kids are very focused and eager to show the world how far we've come! Stay tuned for more updates! - Rich
