Cappybara Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's often my goal to sound ridiculous - kind of like the kids who defend the artsy fartsy current version of DCI drum corps at all costs. It makes it easier for them to understand. Plus this is only DCP - I couldn't care less what anyone thinks. It's a discussion board about fancy pants bands now. What was it before?

BlueByYou2000 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 93 Star seemed just fine with 7 snares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Seriously, tho'... seems to me the last several years the Scouts have re-tooled the week between S.A. Texas and Atlanta, only to see their scores stall instead of improve. The difference this year is that they've been re-tooling all year long. The first big changes apparently happened around July 1, when they cut most of the original opener and began shifting to the soft ending. That said, their score actually climbed 3.5 pts. between San Antonio and Atlanta. And then 2.2 pts. more in the next three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannedforlife Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Oh, there are SO many ways this can go right and perhaps no ways it can go wrong. It went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannedforlife Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Some high-speed drill...which I didn't see anyone do tonight other than Scouts. You are aware Blue Stars were at that show, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You are aware Blue Stars were at that show, right? And? Zipping in and out of a field littered with unnecessary props is not high speed drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesmusic Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Interesting that those hating on the Scouts as of late have nothing to say as the corps has improved in the score department. Let me guess, those hating on the corps think it's a fluke because thus corps wasn't there, or maybe there wasn't a guard judge, or they only had 7 snares, or blah blah blah.

It was definitely interesting to see them so close to Boston last night. Makes it impossible to figure how this weekend will turn out.
