I didnt much care for Spirit's show earlier in the season but I'm really starting to respond to it. That was an exciting performance.

Were the drums pink at the start of the show?

Okay, the real Jersey Surf posted from the DrumScorps app

Surf is performing during the intermission slot.

I believe they said no intermission.

Big crowd response for Scouts.

Pacific Crest. Wow, color me blown away! I was completely engaged by this show. I've always found PC to be a bit "aw aren't they cute" but this show is intense and sophisticated. Oh, and the corps is strong. Sound great, march great, guard is better than I've ever seen from them. Well done.

Electronics fail.

The stacked hornline is a neat effect. posted from the DrumScorps app

Genesis has hats! It's a good look.

Steve Rondinaro is sitting across the aisle from me.

First time seeing Seattle Cascades in person. Nice job!

I can see your hotel from my hotel. I'm just a few blocks further east. posted from the DrumScorps app

Priorities

An interesting feature of the club level is the entrances to the stands are on the field; literally on the field. There's a broad area before you climb the stairs where you can hang out on the sidelines. Last year I watched Regiment from there. Pretty interesting perspective. Reminded me of when I marched and the view of other corps performances was mostly from ground level.

I'm pretty sure it was a design choice, not to protect the wood but to cover up the paint (lines, circles, logos) of the basketball floor in order to create a neutral performance surface.

I could tolerate the over baked concept if there were more musically and visually to grasp onto. I know there are only 3 weeks left but I would love to see some minor drill additions and remove some if the lunging and hopping and snarling, and clean the heck out of the music.

I'm sure slipping past corps you've been be beating is no fun. I just hope the MMs are enjoying themselves. They should know that they have every bit of the talent needed to do well.

Blooo!!

Vanguard soloists got some new haircuts and dye jobs.

BK guard so much better than last couple of years.

I'm going to Atlanta next week. It's a great weekend trip for drum corps and city stuff.

I'm a big fan of this Crossmen show.
