That brassline hasnt been over hyped at all. SCV and Crown though...yeah I agree to an extent. Honestly Id say Bloo has been overhyped to an extent as well. Brass isnt quite where I want them yet, the difficulty is still slightly down, percussion isnt as good as it was last year (for me either). Visual program though...not overhyped at all, they book it like crazy. The only thing I know for sure is that no matter what happens Prosperie will have Bloo first in percussion in finals (If hes judging.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few judges I trust as much as him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to start a riot here (just having a little fun). The last two years now hes the only judge to put Bluecoats percussion at championships.

dcsnare93 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Over-hyped is such an overused word. :) Nothing wrong with hyping up your corps and being passionate about what you like. There's plenty to go around for everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 What IS the deal with the euph solo in the 2nd chart? Both at the first show and Massilon, it's been just God-Awful....intonation issues from Hell. it's not like he can;t play at all -- he wouldn't be in a corps at the top if he couldn't, let alone getting a solo -- but what I heard sounds like a newish open class soloist. Makes me wonder if it's an instrument issue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was demonstrated earlier that this is exactly what they are going to try. EDIT: Apparently the solo was performed down an octave this evening... and it was an improvement. Still might be some issues to work out. Edited June 27, 2017 by cfirwin3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
