I love the show this year but I do have a few problems with it. Don't get me wrong here, I love their show, however I think that there are quite a few times where some simple changes would benefit the corps and how they would end up placing at finals. For the opener, the corps should just play the whole song (prelude) because it is a gorgeous song. It would be so much more emotional if the corps just played the song. And the ballad definitely needs some cleaning. It is really pretty but it feels like the trumpets overpowered the whole corps (which I don't have a problem with because I play trumpet). It does not blend well. And I think the uniforms are kind of stupid. I love the 2016 show uniforms because they couldn't have done some of the moves with the ramps and just the general movements they did with their normal uniform, but this year I see no reason for the uniforms to be simple clothes I can get at Walmart. I kept expecting the corps to come out from under the prop with the normal uniform which would have a been really cool and would be amazing in the general effect. But regardless of those things, they did put on a really nice show in Hamilton, OH which is where I got to see them live. Top three this year IMO.
