I wish I could see Bloo live.... you can only tell so much from Flo. But I think first, second, and third place tonight are right on. I'm likely going to the Annapolis, MD show but SCV won't be there :( Not many drum corps shows near Virginia unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 What really sticks out for me is seeing Devils 4th in brass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one understood what they were doing, but I did because I'm familiar with the piece. I still watch that video from time to time. Which piece? Stravinsky, Sebesky, or Brenzel?

Jeffe77 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Like someone said before, has the 'It" factor, like previous championship shows like Bloo 16, BD 15, 94, Cavies 02, etc. It's awesome to see. One comment to add. I'm surprised the spread in percussion, sure it's not shocking SCV 1st in percussion, but 0.4 ahead? Bloo, BD and Crown are clustered together. On another note, if SCV's guard score starts improving and score on par to the rest of SCV's caption, its over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCV regularly has good percussion. Even during their long bad streaks they've put out some competitive lines. But their brass? Somebody asked in another thread, "when was the last time, outside of this season, that SCV beat BD in brass?" I was bored so I looked it up: SCV beat BD in brass at the Stanford and Pasadena shows last year. Prior to that, SCV's brass came out on top in Quarter Finals of 2009. Prior to that, SCV bested BD in brass in Quarter Finals of 1999. That's where I stopped. Needless to say, SCV's hornline this year is historically good. THAT should be surprising. Not the drum scores. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 like i've said in previous threads, scv's show must be seen live to really get it it's just powerful on many levels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the drum scores. What is shocking is how many age outs SCV had last year. Recruiting and instruction aren’t getting the credit they deserve. Perhaps, especially, at Vanguard Cadets, which were terrific last year and moved a lot of kids up to SCV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the earlier podcasts, the drum major said they were roughly 50% rookies. 50%.... rookies.... and they're this amazing? WTF? Granted, being a rookie doesn't necessarily mean you never marched anywhere else, but still.... that's incredible.
