Banded Story:

During the 2006 DCA Championships, ALLIANCE performed in prelims as a Hurricane was coming up the NY coast. While sitting in their opening set, the corps was forced to leave and run for cover amid the the early storm, huddling together for warmth under the stadium bleachers. Some members used hand dryers in bathrooms to stay warm. After 30 minutes and without being allowed to warm up & stretch again, the corps was sent onto the field to finally perform. The storm returned during the performance, but the corps went on, even as props flew across the field and the painted yard lanes faded away. Upon completion, a few members of the guard were immediately sent to EMTs with hypothermia. The corps did not make finals because of the many variables outside of their control, but this fight would become a reminder of their strength and determination for the next decade.

In 2008, ALLIANCE was crowned DCA Class-A World Champion and moved into the Open Class Division the following season, placing 8th and claiming the DCA South Open Class Championship.
