  1. SCV Brass Arranger Key Poulan's designer commentary on the Fan Network for the San Antonio show indicated that SCV's show this year was exactly that. Designed for the domes they would be competing in - and with Indy specifically in mind too. I think it was a sign that SCV's design team was actually thinking ahead and anticipating how the show would sound in these boomy venues. Especiallly with the final show - that is so important - being in a boomy dome.

    While I understand that every show is not inside (the only times I got to see SCV were outside), I think you HAVE to take the "dome reverb" into consideration because so much hinges on a judges perception of the show. The guys in the green shirts are stuck in the dome trying to sort out the sound they are hearing - and the corps has to be taught how to play in that venue. And the show was brilliantly design for that... in my opinion.

    Yea and that show in particular placed 5th also. If Lucas Oil sounds anything like the Georgia dome, I wouldn't sound too happy either. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere is always great at the southeastern championships but dome acoustics flat-out suck. :tongue:

  2. Dumbest, most WGI-y, immature entrance to the field for scores. This alone was enough to make me want to leave the stadium immediately. This is not WGI, BOA, etc. This is Drum Corps. Turn off f'ing 'Lady GaGa' and let the corps enter the field without smoke effects and horrid pop music echoing all of the place.

    I lol'd.

  3. pretty soon I can see this rumor blossoming into...I heard that everyone walked out when the score was

    announced...(which is semi-true because the majority of the show was over...but not because of BD).

    You'll probably see a lot of ridicules 'rumors' over the next 24 hrs...

    I was listening on my kid's phone and all I heard was applause.

    Cali.

    Came straight from someone who marched Teal Sound, I dunno. :tongue:

  4. Fixed. Also, if Crown is doing poorly in performance, then wouldn't that be the fault of whoever is cleaning their feet/drill? Not the designer. Cadets may have the harder show, but if they aren't executing it better - visually AND musically - then they should not pass Crown.

    One of their vis techs marched Bd 04. I can remember him saying you won't beat the devils unless you can beat their feet.
