KVG_DC Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Just now, Ediker said: Spirit is great. This is one of the most engaging shows this year. Design and performers are nailing it. They used to catch so much flack for playing southern jazz, BITD... and got little credit when they did something different. Seems they’ve shed the shackles of their storied past and are creating a new era for themselves. At the same time, it's still recognizably Spirit to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv4corps Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 My favorite from Spirit since at least 2014 if not further back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordsterr Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It's interesting. The first 2/3 have an indoor pajama band feel. The last 1/3 feels like straight ahead drum corps. Very interesting. I love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleran Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I also wonder what it would have looked like if each door had been unique - like those old posters "Doors of Dublin" or "Doors of Atlanta" sort of things. Would have been different than the wall of red they create, but I wonder whether it would have worked or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as everyone else says, they play so much nicer and with so much more confidence than the last few years. I think that's true in general. I mean, please no one gives a #### what the narrator has to say. I don't mind singing or chants (like SCV's New Era) but narration is just DUMB, unless you do it like Devils did last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27Socal Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Spirit has really cleaned up parts of the drill. What's with the long color guard feature with nothing else going on, in the middle of the show. Is something else going to be added in there?

I don't think so, as good as it is, and as improved as they are. I think the last years top 11 and Mandarins are a lock for finals. The only one I can possibly see slipping out is Crossmen, and I doubt that will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
