Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2023 Race Report: Opening Ceremony & Start



Here's a Sculpture!
< Previous Page Next Page >

Opening Ceremony & Start

The Ravens Pep Band started the opening ceremonies.

Last year’s reigning champions Chronosaurus Rex who returned this year as Engines & Dragons were officially present as the almost-eternal Kinetic flame was reignited.

Sister Euphonia O’Blivion gave a rousing blessing De Feet of all Kinetinauts.

Not shown: Music for Everyone Community Chorus and Ukelele Uprising from Lancaster, PA also sang and played from the AVAM balcony but we couldn't get good photos from below.

Here’s an eight-minute video of the start of the race, including how our photographer at the starting line missed the first few entries moving the sawhorse to open the racecourse.
