What you want for 2018


Recommended Posts

Less usage of synths and amplification of brass. ...and if you're going to do it, do it well.

Smaller colorguards, more unison work ( but not all unison work).

Fewer pre-recorded sound patches (how about you play there instead, brass, percussion, or both). 

More experimentation with different brass instruments. Break out those marching frenchies and flugels lines (more) too...

I want some old tunes AND new tunes.

...more large ensemble work visual-wise and more brassline playing. Stop offloading as much onto the pit and have the hornlines play more.

I'd like to see more placement movement through out the season.

Less amplified brass. Turn down the bass synth to 85dB. No singers. Less props.

 Less Corps performances where I turn to the people in my group and say"  Boy, they were great !". Then they turn ask me"" But what was their show all about ? ".. and I give my standard reply.... " I don't have a freakin' clue ".

- A large variety of entertaining shows from top to bottom.

- More than one or two fighting for the top spot, I want a 2007 where the top 7  is 94+.  

- A new finalist.  

- 13 - 15 to continue rising in quality.  

- For Music City to have a great first year in World Class.  

- For Open Class to keep exploding in quality.  6th to 12th last year were SO much improved.  

- No more accidents or near folds.  A safe summer for all involved.  

- And maybe one more thing but we shall see.

 A season of no shows being cancelled due to rain and/ or thunder & lightning.

if anything, corps are going for bigger guards to help get those important visual points.  One way to do that might be using all the "synths and amplification of brass" so some corps have cut back on their brass numbers in order to add to the guard.  Look how contra sections for many corps have dropped from 16 to 12.

What I want: 

  1. back off on the amplified solos
  2. less pit sound. the pit is way too loud with most corps. bring out the brass and percussion.
  3. No synth bass or electric bass when the brass is playing. Each instance of this results in a .5 point penalty
  4. No more hitting a form and then going into the cliche body pose. show some guts and hold a form and clean your drill.
  5. A small 5 point penalty for poorly used narration :) 
  6. A mandatory 1 point penalty for every mic/electronic malfunction 
  7. Great brass, percussion, guard, drill, and some fun and entertaining shows
