How about a little Love for Open Class?

Southwind, baby. -

Error in the initial scoring. 7th dropped to 66.5. -

Might as well have been a rainout. By all indications this was going to be a disaster of a show with terrible housing, a terrible field, and some other mismanagement. -

No, I'm not. Look, I'm sorry that SCV smoked whatever corps you like, but having a stage on the field is not the same thing as having giant chairs, palm trees, construction equipment, barstools, and whatever hell the else got dragged out of a TJ Maxx. I mean, seriously. Some of these corps make the field look as if a Wal-Mart truck jackknifed in the middle and they're still cleaning up the debris. -

To me, SCV and Mandarins are the only shows that kept my attention beginning to end. Absolutely riveting. -

Those aren't props. They are stages. Compared to what came before, it's positively spartan. -

Have to say it. SCV is winning because of extraordinary musicianship. At the same time, they have a show that is coherent and centered around the music without being reliant on props. It's just several notches of show design above everything else. A striking refutation that you need to drag a garage sale out on the field in order to score points with the audience. -

I think Southwind catches them. -

This broadcast could use a color announcer. Something. -

Is it an intentional design decision that the guard looks like prison matrons? I promise you that's not a snide question. -

Flo still hasn't worked out the lighting issues in their camera work, I see. -
Sorry. Posted on wrong thread.

I saw a score sheet through Southwind staff. They had difficulties with traffic, so they saw the 43 on the score sheet and thought, "Whoa. 30 points in penalties?"
-
This is a cool show. Wasn't wild about Guardians.

Nope. Anybody who believes Drum Corps is on the wane isn't looking at Open Class. Most of these corps would be Pioneer. With a break or two, Jersey Surf could get beat by all the corps through Southwind. Oregon Crusaders and Seattle Cascades would lose to most of these, too.
-
Scores haven't caught up yet. They accidentally hit the send button after Southwind's show when they had a 41. Nearly had apoplexy reading that.

FloMarching announcers really should have a few days training.

Weapon Imagery in Drum Corps
cpg35223 replied to Ediker's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I think your friend should put a sock in it. This is the kind of effete, quailing, hand-wringing nonsense that gives real concern about the availability of guns a bad name. -

The Cadets need something that is heavily hopped and kind of bitter. -
DCI "At the Movies" Experience
cpg35223 replied to Fran Haring's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Amateurish as usual. We lost the feed in Birmingham in the middle of the Mandarins. Took to the end of that show to get to it back. Then, and this is not the fault of the broadcast, we had a thunderstorm roll through in the middle of the Cavies. The resulting power surge stopped performance at all the screens in the theater. The poor popcorn girl was besieged by theater owners. We had about 120 people in our theater. But you couldn't hear the commentary between shows. Bad, bad mixing in the control booth.
