Okay,
First off, i am a very big fan! The "Brigs" have given us some of the best shows ever.
But as i checked out corps reps the other day, it really hit me how much the group changed.
Ive heard so many stories about some of the things the corps has been through (The bingo thing, theft etc).
Its natural that they dropped a little bit competitively.
Does anyone think that this "new style" is going to bring them back?
Have their problems been more because of the shows they do? or has it been the execution of the shows?
Is any of this a result of the Buccs recent success? Are more corps going to "Classical" because its competitively the "hot" thing? (DCI Phantom Regiment, WGI guards, etc).
They haven't been a true competitor since 2004. Since then they have completely changed styles and now have overhauled the staff it seems.
I don't know a great deal about the staff this year, but does anyone think they can get past those top corps in the near future? (Cabs, Buccs, Statesman, Minnesota).
Please nobody get angry! this is just discussion!
