  1. Super-impressed with this year's show. While I like innovation, I definitely love my nostalgia...Madison '12 strikes the perfect balance for me.
  2. Another summer, another highly annoying/distracting program from BD in spite of their ridiculously talented corps members. Oh, well. Some things never change.
  3. I felt like I was in an NES video game during the entirety of BK's show. And, no, not in a good way.
  4. This. As a brass guy, I am loving this program. That said, because most of BAC's stuff has been played in the past by championship-caliber corps (Cavies, Star, PR), their biggest challenge this year might be filling those shoes.
  5. Is the link live for anyone yet? It's not for me...
  6. Definitely the 'Coats. Imagine them doing 'Calgary' as a soft closer. Gives me chills thinking about what you could arrange for mellos, sops and drumline. I'm thinking you start the piece with mellos carrying the melody and the rest of the hornline playing with backs to audience...
  7. Listen to his eponymous album that came out a few months ago and tell me that a mello section wouldn't have a field day with some of his stuff.
  8. Class has nothing to do with it if it's TRUE. Sure, the 'Devils' hornline always sounds great, until you look up and realize they're standing. Or sitting. Or looking at themselves in the mirror.
  9. WOW, way to go Garfield! The theatrical nature of Angels/Demons reminds me of 'Spartacus,' but with a distinct Holy Name flair. Cadets should win by a point this year. This show is Hopkins' best idea since...well...2005?
  10. Ilyena would make for a cool jam session/perc feature. Think about it: hornline playing with backs to the crowd for the first "muted" part, then a fast 180 with a monster brass hit. You could really go wild with electronic effects in the pit, too.
  11. If a corps was going to do an all-The Mars Volta show, who would it be? My vote would be for the Cavies because of the Green Machine's ability to create visual kaleidoscopes. I think TMV's prog rock sound would translate insanely well to the field. Whad'ya think?
