  1. show is great btw it's "Bluecoats" the tilt chord is the moment of the year right now -- this show will rock LOS come championships!
  2. Congrats on the weight loss. That's great! Corps this year is fantastic - get the feeling the staff could give this corps anything to accomplish and they'd knock it right out! Enjoy the show.
  3. regarding Coats & "head scratching" - it will depend. I saw them live vs. Cadets last night. I prefered the Bluecoats show but there was a fairly obvious gap in content and achievement so the Cadets win was expected and pretty clear cut. That can change of course.
  4. sorry but leaping up every fifteen seconds like those kids did is frankly annoying... (especially for those behind them) but of course we want the crowd to applaud and cheer I always stand up and clap afterwards... but unless someone around me is "complaining" and/or talking I really don't care what everyone else does unless they BOO. Then I punch them in the face
  5. Nope - the uniform changes are already written right into the show.
  6. I don't think crowns gap with regiment bodes well for crown.
  7. I thought the changes were great too. Corps made some great progress this week!
  8. Cadets have a very good program - but it isn't without fault. Several dull segments they need to rework - especially in opener and start of the second segment. Middle portion of the show through the end is strong.
  9. just watched Crown video from tonight's IN show on FN much cleaner than a week ago! it will be interesting to see where the corps line up come Sunday Coats deserve their billing - show is terrific and corps performs with a lot of maturity - I can't wait to see how that program develops over the next few weeks! Cadets are quite "clean" on the big picture, surface things. I frankly think the staff needs to add even more content.. corps seems capable of handling it.
  10. So cadets swept the captions with bigger gaps in guard and GE .
  11. There's that infamous East coast inflation lol
  12. So it's only late June but somebody forgot to tell the cadets. Performance level in many aspects is more like mid July. Sure there are timing issues, a lot of shaping to do and the guard is still without their show flags and two out of three uniforms, but that's really just nitpicking This year's Cadets have taken the program giving to them and practically swallowed it whole. In my view it's time for the design team to go back to work and give them some more to chew on One word describes this year's Cadets... Excellence. Guard is light years ahead of last year, and once again the Corps is musically stellar. I'm sure changes and additions are on the way. Great job tonight by all four Corps! I can't stay for their encore sets as I have a prior commitment. I'd say the Corps placed in the order in which they performed. I'd personally put the Coats around a 74/5 and Cadets in the 78 range.
  13. Bluecoats wowed this crowd with perhaps THE show of 2014 Percussion, particularly battery, is fantastic This program will ride a massive wave of fan support into the World Championships I do think they will need to add a bit more content to the visual and particularly guard captions in order to take out one or all three of the Corps currently ahead of them This could be their year! Loved it!
  14. Boston can be best described as an interesting blend of Suncoast Sounds Dances of the Contemporary Child with a heavy dose of a Tarpon Springs BOA show. Frankly I'm not sure this central PA crowd knew what to make of it. Percussion is the obvious strength and kids are working hard. The next few weeks will determine how effective and successful this program will be for the membership. At this stage I'm concerned the designers have gotten a little too far out on the artsy farsty plank. Coats up.
  15. Nice performance from spirit. First viewing for me but the crowd seemed to enjoy it and the guard has really cleaned up from what I saw online from them about a week ago.
  16. Spirit on now. Good crowd in hand and a great night weather wise
