Crown's show was fantastic (especially the opener). However, the show as a whole wasn't my favorite from them. But I wanted them to come out on top last year. On a completely irrelevant note, please listen to this (if you can). https://www.facebook.com/EricWhitacreOfficial/videos/10155164371087229/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED That video made me grow a sense of patriotism.

George Dixon Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 43 minutes ago, BRASSO said: The narrative that the Cadets need to go " mod and progressive ", or else be held back, would logically then have us believe that had the Cadets not worn a cadet syled uniform last season, but instead wore a " mod, progressive style of uniform... like for example, Carolina Crown's uniform, that somehow the " mod, progressive " uniform would have " fit " their show theme better, and lo and behold, the judges would have placed them higher than 6th last season. But such " logic " falls away, as a Corps attire ( non guard ) doesn't mean a thing to the judges. I submit that if the Cadets wore CC's uniforms last season, the Cadets would still have finished 6th. Heck, THE most " mod, progressive " uniform introduced into DCI last season by any Corps ( imo ) was that from the Oregon Crusaders. Did their placements improve with such change to a " mod, progressive " style of uniform ? No. it didn't. They placed lower in 2016, than in 2015 despite the change in 2016 to the most " progressive " uniform out there on the field in DCI, imo. Am I imagining it or have you posted this like twenty or thirty times now just reworded it time? I'm pretty sure we understand your take on it lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ideas I included in my email was Eric Whitacre's work and his virtual choirs. Naturally, I was intrigued when it was announced Cadets were fielding a choir this season haha. (Of course, all signs now seem to be pointing to Bernstein) But yeah, Whitacre is incredible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to reintroduce yourself to the little bird here, re. your comments, as he apparently missed this... lol!
