Does guard equipment count as props?
-
Thanks for all the play by play. I am home with kids while wifey is working.
-
Is someone doing a play by play so we cheap folks can get an idea what's happening?
-
I guess I'll find out the scored for Cadets and Devils in the morning. I have to go to bed so I can go watch Tiger and Scott Verplank tomorrow. :)
Verplanking? Is that what they call it now? I knew things were wierd out in California.
...at least you get to watch.
-
Show ideas for next year?
-
OK, everybody start going to www.dci.org/scores so we can crash the server again...
NOw that was cool.....the refresh rate slowed a lot!
I feel the power!
-
Quick note....judge still have not left the front sideline.
Stay on top of it Firebrand! It wouldn't be fair if he left now.
-
Look at those kids! I am so excited for them!
-
So did some members of BD decide to hold back the last week or so? because I am seeing some pretty cool stuff tonight. (wish I could hear)
...maybe not, there were a few problems just now.
-
VERY COOL!
It's great the brass kids don't have to carry any props this year!
-
Guard is getting scary good!
The quality difference from the previous corps is huge.
Oooh. I like the Napolean guy. "Gawd!"
-
I can't tell if it's the video or me, but they look very stiff tonight. And the won't be quiet! someone turn off the mic.
-
There was the turtle formation!
-
They do move it at the end don't they?!?!
-
Well...the guard is good and their flags are classy
Percussion is good tonight.
-
I don't mind the coreographed moves, but I still don't like their marching style. It's not consistent from person to person. How are they scoring so high?
-
I could watch shows like that on and on and on. Go SVC!
-
The drill up to the ! was very Cavalier like!
-
OOOH! Everyone hit the survey!
-
Very Nice music Glassmen! You almost can't beat marching to Rimski-Korsikov
-
YES! I SEE!!!!!!!!!
Thank Goodness!
-
I want to see the Crossmen's Capes!
Go Troopers!

When I tried to start this discussion I was asking about BK without mentioning them, and some assumed I was starting up a Cavie bashing thread. But, I don't see the similarity in style...I will have to look closer. I have always thought that the look of the cavaliers marching style was masculine and forceful to the point of even being a little choppy at times. The tempo is so solid. I think I like Crown and Cadets better, but Cavies don't give me concern like BK does.
-
For me, it is that I haven't spent time reading these boards, so I don't know how to ask a question without it sounding like bashing....or that I'm asking for bashing.
As a director (band, not corps) I still look at these issues in terms of my responsibilities to the members. What I wanted to ask was if anyone else noticed that the Blue Knights or most of them (brass and battery) have some heighth to their step which makes it look like prancing, and they have a jerky step off. And I put myself in a members position, and thought No- I would not want to march with that corps because I would feel uncomfortable marching that way. I know it sounds homophobic. I would like to hear some discussion especially from former marchers, and were they ever asked to perform in a way that made them uncomfy.
3 night reservation in San Antonio for $500
in DCP Marketplace

I have 3 nights in San Antonio (Thur 19th -Sat 21st) at the Staybridge Suites. Great for family catching up to their DCI member on July 21st. I'm only asking $500, and upon payment, will add your name to reservation. I just found out I can't make it. It was a reservation I payed in advance. Staybridge is right there at the edge of the parking lot at the Alamo Dome. It's also right there on way to downtown/Riverwalk area!
