Houston show that's actually Tomball

Blue Stars have some of the best drill of anyone this year. Flows beautifully. -

Switch over while you can. This guy will be picking out cars in the parking lot next. -

I’m interested to see if they do something based on the current Broadway musical Shucked next year. It’s about corn. If there was ever something custom made for them, you’d think that would be it! 🌽 -

Stylistically, Colts are like the vanilla ice cream palate cleanser after the previous hot sauce course. -

This was the show last year where they started to sell that program as well. -

Good run by Bluecoats. I haven’t warmed to the parts where they Cuisinart the poem. It always takes me out of it a bit. Much prefer where they layer complete phrases in and out. -

I feel Crown could loosen up a bit. The show has so much dynamic energy in it, but the Sacktig drill moves at a really measured and controlled pace a lot. If they partial broke/dissolved/ran out of the forms at times, it would add visual urgency to match the music. Not to the extent Phantom does, but some. -

Phantom has the stuff. It’s developed into a great show. The high energy battle between them and Mandarins will be a lot of fun. -

The tarp around the pit helps a lot when they congregate on it. It was a bit of a mob scene there before they added it. -

That girl who is all wrapped up in the fabric looks like she is tangled in part of Crown’s show from last year. -
DCI bears some responsibility for creating the monster of impressions when they started the gold-silver-bronze thing. It used to be just the winner got a medal, and being in the “top 5” was a big deal because those corps made the live portion of the PBS broadcast. By creating a line between Bronze and 4th, they devalued 4th in the process, even though we know that can be decided by minuscule fractions of a point. Crankiness was created where there need be none.

Blue Devils in the Details 2023
NakedEye replied to DWW11's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It is remarkable how they’ve been able to take such a well known song and make it...ethereal. I haven’t seen much mention of how they have pairs of horns back-to-back, rotating for part of it. That circular sound they create as they turn likely adds to the effect. -
As intriguing as I find it, there also seems to something missing. I think the balance between octane moments and oddball syncopated sections is perhaps a bit uneven. It really gets going, and then stops.Really gets going, and then stops. Last year the flow was more continuous, even though it went through all sorts of moods/styles.
