Whiskey Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ballad is the issue right now for the Coats. It hurts the pace of the show. I'd love to hear the judges tapes on what is keeping them just below BD and possibly SCV. The beginning and closer are hot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 They literally have rehashed visuals, body moves, effects, and design from shows all the way back to tilt. Hip swaying got the points last year but now it's just trying to much. Hate the design and see both BD and SCV ahead. West coast can design a show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastGuard Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Bloo looks simple after SCV, which looks simple after BD........SCV seemed flat compared to BD. Bloo had a lot of energy, but compared to the other 2....they just look thin. All great music books. SCV and Bloo are dirty compared to BD.

George Dixon Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It's like apples and oranges with the top 3 coats visual exposure and ensemble/spatial demands are insane BD individually and the guard is just so impressive SCV is a more traditional drill program with an extremely strong percussion element but compared to the other two is a bit compact visually its tough to pick 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The ballad, though much improved, feels thin to me. But I don't mind the use of microphones while the corps plays to the back left corner; that's a deliberate effect that's kind of neat and can't be mistaken for anything but what it is. High camera shows a number of good large-scale effects, nicely making use of the zigzag prop. Also plenty of their drill is not follow-the-leader. But maybe they should swap something else in for the S-shaped follow-the-leader drill in the finale, since they did do that earlier in the show. Maybe. And even on high camera I could see a lot of visual details have been polished. Love the way the trombones dance their way up the ramp in the Zappa. Anybody else think some of the show's opening chords sound like "Cvalda" from Dancer in the Dark, which Cadets played in their championship 2005 show? (And Bluecoats had previously played in 2002?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard that specific complaint, but one would have to be a complete moron to think Bloo's drill book is a slouch in the demand department.
