It struck me as something to do for the sake of doing it. Like Limozeen in Space: "But Why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!" That's how I feel about that whole segment of that program. Okay, yeah, but that video is hilarious (to me)! I guess we have different tastes.

Wog Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) The only interesting thing to me is what Crown decides to do visually and if they are forced into large props... everyone else in the top 6 is already there. SCV and BD obviously have the scoring sheets figured out (and BD for a long time). So not sure if last night was the start of new era or not because we have already been in it.

I think the OP was more talking about a New Era for SCV in particular (annual success at the top), not show design. I could be wrong, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like the show a lot until that moment. To me, it was like having a great meal and then the waiter coming by and pulling all the glassware off the table and breaking it. The Dello Joio was marvelous... then that? I'm pretty confident they got some flak in terms of top box in effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 In 2014, Crown tried to use a very similar formula as 2013, and it didn't work out so well. I hope SCV doesn't do this in 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 13-14 Crown were just as similar as 16-17 Bluecoats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCI-86 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 I meant, are we moving into a new era where SCV becomes the dominate force for a number of years, experimenting more with staging and props, leaving other corps forced to reinvent themselves to keep pace? i know everyone says BD always wins the season after coming 2nd but will that be the case next year or will they start having to look at how they design their shows to keep pace with SCV?

I think there will be some soul searching. Essentially, BD got beaten at their own game not just by SCV but Boston as well on the CG side of the equation. 2nd place, no captions, and there were nights where their brass was not the strongest.
