cowtown Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Odd thing about this show is people don’t like the narration (officiant) and I usually hate narration but I like it here. The dude does a killer job as it sounds a lot like my recorded version, it punctuates the piece At this point in the season, this is your show. Maybe a few tweaks but a major re-write won’t change much with placement. Just clean, have fun, and enjoy the rest of the summer. Being known as the unfun corps to march is worse than a placement position 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCV has been always been there obviously My point is - some of it has to do with other corps improving as well. When it comes to placement. Design - lost a lot of design folks to Coats & Crown - so there ya go I think it has much more to do with the Cadets decline than the rise of other corps. If the Cadets were executing designs like this in the 80s, 90s and 00s (relative to designs those years), they would have been a 6-8th place corps then too.

It needs to be a theme like SCV, BK or Bluecoats, not a story line. It needs to be not so literal. I still think if they took off those robes on the horn line they would fair better. Agreed. Their best shows throughout history are typically not story based. 2005 being the exception. Have engaging music, execute on marching, and integrate the guard. It's all they need. No need to go overboard with symbols and theme. As stated many times on here "less is more" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
