yes, absolutely true. It's much better clarity-wise, which makes any M&M error stand out. I noticed some interesting difficulty today on the Cincinnati Flo stream: there are places where the drill is symmetrical but super spread out, so you'll have a "pod" of four people doing the same thing on side A and B, which must be a bear to clean since I'm sure they can't see each other through all the prop-age lol. The sop, I mean trumpet trio was out of tune again, but at least the one guy corrected for it with his slide before the big finish. At least, to this drummer, that's what it looked like. I was disappointed to see that the score went down vs Allentown. Annoying. -

Lots of various improvements at Allentown, I thought. Among many things to love, I especially loved the guard work at the end, and it looked like the brass really worked on those horn snaps. I suppose it could be purposeful, given the idea of "chaos to clarity", but there seem to be a number of marching mistakes in big moments however, with a member or two out of some major form. If they are just mental errors, I'm hoping for good concentration and focus for the next few shows, to bring that drill perfection! -

speaking of saffron, I really loved the colorguard costumes in 2009 for the "ballet for martha" show. Just a gorgeous design and color. -

Loved the new ending, and how the visual is just starting to "click". Looks like there was a collision at the start of the "nirvana roll" section. A snare went down and somehow recovered after colliding with a guard and horn member it appears? Hope nobody lost any teeth. -

I love how you can hear the brass parts in your mind when you listen to the (stellar!) perc parts. Also, did they wear these new unis at Denton?! Nice! 😍 -

Show is really starting to come together, watching Broken Arrow on Flo (despite the wonky mix). Visually they are getting clean finally, and the impact is starting to "gel". In some photos from Dynasty on the SCV Instagram, there were percussion instruments in the props, which is kind of cool. Purple is usually a contrast color to green, but it's so desaturated (or, something) that the guard seems to just fade into the background. Somehow they need to have some more pop. Something, anything. Percussion is the total package, with superior integrated writing. Good on them for the 18 in BA, and I hope they keep up that momentum thru San Antonio. -

A lot of holes at the Stanford CA show. Hope all those members are ok!
