  1. Ah, the talent BAC brass has acquired this year is what is also making the difference. More than breathing technique. The talent level is allowing for a big step up in Ryan George’s writing. His writing was and is good, but now he gets to step on the gas. And Gino can do more of his magic. They are being turned loose. #thatwasloud

  3. I went to comment on The Academy's send off show tonight and realized there wasn't a thread for them. There is now. Anyway, I can't wait to see the reaction this corps gets in 2 weeks when they unveil their show. I loved what we heard and saw tonight. They have about 2/3's of the show on the field right now, and you can tell they have a lot to add into what's on the field to this point. They leave tomorrow for Page and cooler temps, and the chance to focus and finish putting the rest of the show in before starting to fine-tune the whole production. I'm no expert or anything, and I love my hometown corps. We've put a lot of blood, sweat (Heat Forged is the slogan for a reason!), tears into them over the years and I'm so pleased to see them with a show that has potential to be something amazing come August. Oh, and the mellophone book is frick'n fantastic! Go, Academy!

  7. So excited to see Crown's Gabriel's Oboe. That piece is so moving to me, and with Crown's brass I feel was are in for some goose bump moments!

  8. Wednesday this week we can all see and hear Boston. Then again on Friday. I can’t wait until Friday for the live version, but I will certainly watch for Wednesday’s videos. The weather has been more cooperative in VT so I have no doubt much progress has been made on the show. I, like craiga, won’t get into the hype but this Boston has gotten better. Boston brass will be eye opening.

  13. I got back to Marion yesterday. Some more detail added to props, more show on the field. Believe what I saw was a change to the length of a part of the show.,I would say Bloo is staying true to themselves it def has their vibe . It’s done well; I have a few reservations GE wise, but the demand is high and the talent is there. It is a very fan friendly show. I have never been a big fan of the source music(but done well) unlike many others so it clouds me a bit

  17. times have changed a bit due to background checks for anyone coming in contact with the corps - it's a lot easier to manage now if you have a few unpaid and a few paid folks running the whole summer...

  28. Certainly it has the potential to be a Crown ballad for the ages. Might be hard to beat '09's Somewhere / Rainbow from '09; that delicate celeste moment in the middle was amazing. I don't think the audience was even breathing during that entire interlude. Anxious to hear it was well.

  30. All the Corps we've been associated with -- Crown, Spirit, PC, Southwind, and Music City -- wanted and appreciated any help they could get. I know Crown would send volunteers out during tour for 2 weeks at a time, but if they were at a school close to you, you could drop in to help whenever you could. I'm hoping this is just a miscommunication.

  31. I never felt it was my decision or about me I was curious if it was like that at other corps and if anyone thought it was wrong to help out at a Corp my son was not part of and since you seem to know everything maybe you could answer that question without being obstinate.

  41. I commend Crown for sticking to a tight musical book this year by picking only 4 pieces. So many groups pick upwards of 7 songs and it sometimes leads to an incoherent final product. (Beast)

  42. I am not sure you are being serious. Are you trolling? Correct me if I am misreading your post, BUT, if one follows the logic of your opinion, uniforms/costumes do not matter. Phantom could wear neon green tuxes this summer while doing a show about Joan of Arc. Last year's SCV could have worn bunny rabbit costumes, long pink ears and white puffy tail included. SOS could have shown us 150 nuns ship wrecked on a island, and Troopers could simply have done their show in ripped jeans and second hand store old beer brand T-shirts. You can argue that back in the day the corps wore uniforms that linked them only to their corps and not to any music choice or show theme. Yes, this is true. But dressing special characters in productions was soon followed by show-themed costumes for the guard, and now uniforms/costumes for the brass and percussion- all carefully crafted to bring the effect of the show to a higher level than uniforms that are not linked to the music, style, vibe, theme at all. I assume every competent GE judge, certainly early in the season or upon first viewing, comments and considers the scoring value of the uniforms/costumes, head gear, lack of head gear, flag designs, prop designs, every color they see, etc.

  47. I'm saying people like you are trying to browbeat others into your viewpoint that PR made a mistake by not including a women composer. You are doing so in hopes that others will "see the light" and of course not have to go through what PR is going through by bending to your will EVEN if it isn't in their best interest. You are claiming they made a mistake when there was no mistake to be made to begin with since they very well were open to all possibilities and provided all composers equal treatment when selecting music. You are looking for a fight on a non-issue and looking for a way to be offended. Is that clear enough? Answer me this. If they provided all composers the same opportunity to be selected for their show regardless of gender is that not real equality?
