777hornman Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 unfortunately missed the first few. Surf Better effort here. Drill does little but brass can play. Guard better . Stay simple . Mandarins Step up in design, Spirit Great to see them out there. Fun enjoyable show that performers seem to like . good for them. Oregon The uniforms , wow OK let us say different. A rebuilding year here. The Academy Great show , Great design , Possible finalist if they have what it takes come August. Boston has been here but has design problems. ONe judge had them 11 th in Percussion , One had them in 17th so?????? 11 Colts ???? What happened here? unmemorable show . Great design and great charts last 3 years. Now seem generic non finalist show. 15 Troopers OK Uniforms just bad.but look better from up top. Some good writing . A little cheesy with the voice overs. 14 Madison Hard to compare to that powerful 1999 version . Seemed weak. arrangements could be better as well. Might get passed by Academy come August. 12 Crossmen A little rough run . Great design and music charts . I get the ending . should beat Blue Stars. 9 Hard to see tarp. Boston I love Lamancha .But not this production . MONSTERS ! voice overs hurt . Windmills get award for best prop used totally wrong . non finalist. Their saving grace is that they are much better than Troopers or Colts. They do now what August is all about so wait for the push . 13 Blue Knights One of my favorites. Not sure what this was but it was good. SHould pass PHantom and( Yes i am going to say it ) maybe Cadets. 6 Phantom nice show . liked it more early season . How many ballads do they do?? 8 Blue Stars ??? How long is their Ballad??? Zoned a few times with Phantom and Blue Stars back to back. Some cool ideas but not enough demand to stay in front of Crossmen . 10 Cavaliers While I did not love the design this is a very good corps. Great feet and they move very well shoud be ahead of Cadets . 5 SCV WOW -First great corps of the night . Power , Class , Great use of colors . Very good 4 The Cadets Ok the uniforms . If SCV went to all black uniforms we would say the same thing . WHY ? Lack of color , not a good drill and they move poorly. Usually this is because of design . but performance was lacking also. The only thing I did like about Cadets is that they were loud. But that is their only effect. 7 Blue Devils Everything you want right here. Power , Great feet , Great drill , drums all. my favorite of the night . Again 1 Bluecoats Always root for the new guy, Their best effort to date. Might not be enough as BD knows what finals are all about . 2 Crown Some dull moments , Yes from CROWN . Bass bone needs to back off on 2nd tune .wow . Ballad solo?? went nowhere. Love the sound but this is a 3rd place corps. Maybe 4th. Drum battle I don't get it . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelloEvan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't get drum battle either. It's a waste of time, and quite frankly stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
