I do not like Phantom and love all the others so far especially Blue Knights. Although, I wish they all took them a step further and made the jump to show specific looks. Ditch the uniforms and let's go the WGI route. I marched in the 90's but I love that these corps are finally evolving.

. Wrong topic

Why are they blurring out the Conestoga wagon?

And this is why so many groups choose to not post videos early season. Regiment will be fine and they will tweak and change what is needed.

I love the front ensemble uniforms!

It's a drum corps show. What happened before the Internet? Get over it.

It's this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=3yqvrZjhD7c

It's going to be a much different look!

Yet to be announced.

With some new design team, I wish they would pick something new and fresh.

Give 1 example.

I hope everything turns out great for the corps. Unfortunately, I think the biggest issue is at the very top.

Give it up already and there is no rule saying she couldn't march the A corps. Just be happy that this little girl got a chance for this experience. Apparently that is an issue for some people.

Nope, sorry. I'm in critiques all summer and listen to multiple captions. They are told not to evaluate during that time.

Correct. They will not talk about the pre-show. They will wait for the signal/announcement on every tape. This is the same for WGI as well.

Dumb. Clean the actual show instead of wasting time relearning a pre-show that doesn't factor in to anything!

Maybe Key?

I've listed to 20+ VP tapes each year over the past five years. Typically there are 3-5 battery comments. About 50% horns, 45% guard. If the VP judge has a guard background then make it about 60% guard and 35% horns Those are just some rough percentages. Depends on the judge.

On the field.

A lot of people forget that the guard plays a big part in the caption. It's not just marching technique.

Keep pushing Blue! I loved the new ending. They are SO much cleaner visually than they were in San Antionio and it shows with their vis analysis score. They need to just keep doing what they are doing and pushing to the end!

They make a Crown.

I hope they use even more when they put their new ending on. Incredible use of electronics that can only be truly experienced live.

Wow Bluecoats! This show definitely tops last year for me!

Dan Farrell needs to step aside as program coordinator and just run the corps. Bring someone in with some programming experience and allow that person to take the reigns off the design staff and let them modernize. I don't see that ever happening, but I can hope!
