Well, I think we should be realistic and say that the errs are in both directions... However Audience members are simply unaware of things that are too soft because... they are too soft... they can't hear it! So, the data of "viewer complaints" would never skew to the "that sample/synth/microphone balance was too soft" unless that person had the understanding of the show that a designer would. Things being to loud is much easier to call out/complain about than things being too soft so that observation is a bit biased. And so is the claim that the designers simply "didn't learn their lesson"...

The Cadets just changed a LARGE amount of their closer. So it's understandable that out of all segments of the show the closer was the segment that had balances a little off tonight. Everyone who knows will tell you balancing a pit is much more than just "turning it down" And the process takes more than just 2 days to get right.

Scores?

Cadets guard... Crown Percussion... Just thorns in a paw of a lion. I can't see BD showing any sign of weakness and for either of these two groups to be convincingly stronger overall than Blue Devils. And I don't really find this years BD show to be more remarkable than the last few years. It seems like a a show that's just "acceptable" will win rather than truely designed and executed perfection.

Let me be clear. I really just don't care.

Opinions are like #####... Everyone has one and they all stink. I just find it HILARIOUS that you mention your cadets "credentials" to defend your opinion. LOL.

I was purposefully being dissmissive and cynical hence the point of my post...

crown's show is just an attempt at cadets 2011 Angels and Demons part 2. Now what else are other corps attempting to do and how can we make as dissmissive and cynical as possible? You next!

... Word choice definerly implies a bitter and dismissive attitude to an element in the cadets show...The thing is they only do it in certain stadiums because of where the number markings are so not everyone would have seen it. And it's a great effective addition to a show about 10. Not just an "attempt".

Cmon cadets! Gotta be undeniable!! Clean clean clean!!

Perspective I needed... Thanks.

What's this talk of a Z-pull in the show? I mean c'mon George... Can we update it for 2015 and make an "X"-pull instead? More fitting, no?

Is the Cadet Uniform really just all about the colors? Or is the mystique really created because its just a copy of the West Point Uniform Design? The Cadets have made it their own for sure and that's the point... the Cadets MADE it... MADE... as in, the performers made the uniform more than just a copied military design with McDonalds colors. So... there's your answer. Cadets make the uniform... and this corps, and every corps, is a whole lot greater than the style/color of their uniform.

This is brilliant.

I wouldn't be too sure about Cadets not having the same potential as a Bloo to add massive GE moments...

What's the handle!?!?

You're very patient.if I saw someone like that I would not be able to restrain myself and say a few words to these "fans".

WOW leave to some bitter sad member of this community to find this great publicity spot and comment negatively on it. you're opinion is the only thing here I see slowly dying...

You say that like its a bad thing lol :)

I think you need only see the spreads between content - achievement tonight to see who should be worried and who needs to simply clean. Some great numbers for some corps that didn't win tonight that foretell their future potential.

Yes.

This guy... LMAO

...just how can you compare a I fished product to an unfinished one? I mean, I know this is DCP but the standards for comparison have really gone out the window here....

How can anyone on either side this stupid argument compare a corps from August 8th to a corps on July 10th? Let alone "talent"... Please, your "book" and the other guys "books" are just fanboy magazines. Compare anything else you want but "talent" in this activity is simply to vague and subjective to be a point of serious comparison.
