craiga Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I for one hope the Cadets succeed. I think they occupy an important niche in DCI. They need to have a successful season this year so they can build on that going forward. Everyone's definition of success probably varies. Back in the day when BAC had no money, an all-volunteer staff and 52 members, SURVIVAL was success. I don't think the Cadets are anywhere close to where Boston was in 1983 or 1998, and I think they will be fine. Best wishes to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Phantom, BD and Crown on video, and cleanliness of the guard I would rank - 1. BD, 2. Crown, 3. Regiment. There is absolutely no way any guard is "pretty freaking clean" at this point. They are still learning work. They are "pretty freaking clean" for June and based on last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have the same opinion of what I saw. They looked to be right on where they were this time last year. Dirty. Like everyone else.

DWW11 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 i am curious where folks are finding video of the guards at this point. I saw the 100% Not the BD video before it was taken down, but have not had any luck finding anything else. I am signing up for FloMarching this evening. If it's on there, I will be a happy camper. As far as predictions? I have never done this, so i am basing it strictly on what i read about the shows and what appeals to me. Only the top 6. Disclaimer: I have watched DCI consistently since 1975, but don't get into the meat of it too much, because it ruins my enjoyment. a LOT of the shows go over my head. If i need someone to tell me what the "story" is, or the message of the show, I probably won't bond well with it! I appreciate all of the challenging music but am always more connected to shows that use music i know. i DON'T like a lot of singing, regardless of the concept, but some well placed vocals are ok. i LOVE a lot of the new trends, like body movement work with the playing members. HATE all of the people rolling around on the ground. Being an "old" rifle, i am very guard-centric. 1. Blue Devils 2. BAC 3. Vanguard 4. Crown 5. Cavies 6.

queenanne_1536 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Regiment has nearly their whole show on the field, and after seeing a video (since pulled down) I am most curious to see where they will place. IMO - their visual design this year is leaps and bounds better than it was in the past, especially last year. Musically and visually they have definitely jumped into the modern age with this one. It will be interesting to see if that comes through thematically and with the use of their props. I can't tell if what they have now is a shell of what they will be or they are it. They move them around, but other than that aren't doing much right now, which is understandable. To me, this is the most promising Regiment show since 2012. I think an improvement on last year's placement is a big possibility. 3rd? No. But I could see them rising to 6th or 7th with this, depending on BAC, BK and Cadets.
