  1. I dont dislike BDs show, which is a plus. I enjoy it, but it doesn't wow me. The performance level did wow me though. Come August things will hopefully be tight in the top 4, although slotting usually takes over well before then.
  2. Note, im not a person hating on uniforms. But is there a reason in the show for the uniform change? Or is it just for effect? Just wondering
  3. Strongest scv show in some time. So aggressive. Excellent guard. Visual design is tremendous. Their music is on point and will be amazing when clean. This show has legs. Lol.
  4. Im aware at this point. Ive just been to Massillon many times and was confused at how one could think of the stadium as a former baseball field
  5. That's fair, but i'm just excited at how close SCV's music analysis is, with the idea that the Brass score will catch up once they clean. Same with VP. Obviously not to say BD won't also get more clean, but hopefully the gap between the two shrinks over the next few weeks. With how much hype ive been hearing from BD camp about how their show is a champion and will blow you away, scv being so close in the GE captions is encouraging. Even if scv doesn't close the gap overall, keeping pace should reward scv with a medal.
  6. Comparing scores across different shows? That's a paddling
  7. BK top 5 lookout cavies and cadets! The GE gap between scv and bd isnt huge. Hopefully this means scv will be in good position to medal this year. Who knows, maybe an upset.
  8. That periscope is almost enough to have me subscribe to flo a month earlier than i wanted to....
  9. Oh i feel that, its just SCV rarely does well when they do throwbacks. In 92 scv finished 7th by doing fiddler, the 45th anniversary show Music of the Starry Night included a (seemingly) tacked on Music of the Night at the end of the season that never felt quite right. Im glad scv didn't cave into the pressure of doing a "best of scv" show or "phantom of the opera". Instead theyre gunning for a medal and a unique experience for the MMs.
  10. I dig it. I did love their unis the last few years, but change happens. Ive also not been complaining about most uniforms the last few years, therefore im not a hypocrite. ;)
  11. Ugh, west coast time. At the end of the day ill take this and having finals within driving distance over the opposite, but it does make for some long june evenings. 3 hours til step off still, and thats for bdc...
  12. little trust in creative director michael gaines?
  13. The past few years BK has made me regret living in the midwest, and only seeing them live once or twice before finals (occasionally they're at Dublin, OH and/or Massillon). I watch their show, and want to watch it again. more so than most corps. Theyre creative, fun to watch, brass and percussion improve every year, excellent use of color and props. One of these years ill make it out to DATR. but until then, this year i have to settle for streams, prelims, and finals. Can't wait for this show this year though. Reading people's posts, this is probably the show im most excited about.
  14. After the theater show last night, the people next to me weren't initially planning on going to Massillon (from columbus). But bloo blew them away so much so that they decided to go because they want to see it live. I won't be in attendance for reasons, but i hope to be there for massillon part 2, dci bloogaloo
  15. my understanding is that MMs typically browse to see the dumb crap people on DCP and reddit say about shows, and don't typically take it to heart.
  16. everyone seems to love Crown for 2/3rds of the show, until the vocals take over. its not as much a direct result of the concept. Bloo has been doing rather edgy or abstract shows for a while now. Tilt, Kinetic Noise, Down Side Up, and now Jagged Line. Perhaps their concept has gotten progressively more abstract (tilt wasn't abstract but it was very conceptual). But you get the point, people are expecting this kind of show from Bloo. They've medaled each year they've done this. Crown has not, however. They were very "intellectual" with For the Common Good, E=MC2, Out of this world, and Inferno. Relentless was a solid show that told a story. It Is is...different. We don't expect this show from Crown, maybe BD. It is abrupt because Crown medaled 4 times over the last 5 seasons. They didn't need to reinvent themselves. But they did, they want to stay at the forefront of the activity.
  17. this happens every year. There are a good amount of dedicated cadets fans/alums on dcp and they like to discuss the cadets, a lot. There is always drama too, whether its staff turnover or hopkins saying something on social media. Cadets aren't a boring corps to follow.
  18. Vocals are such a tough thing to do well. I actually enjoyed the Colts use of voice over during their dark side of the rainbow show, maybe because they committed to it more (it was a presence throughout the show)? Maybe because it was so campy that i felt it was fun? Probably both. I just feel like crown did a lot of vocals in a small segment of their show, and it just feels weird. Ballad is great, then it kinda takes off. It leaves a weird taste in peoples mouths, and that's bad. Boston this year isnt as over the top from what i can recall. In the end, i dont hate vocals. I just rarely see shows where i feel it adds considerable value. Usually its value neutral or negative. More often than not i laugh at how lame vocals or narration are. It also takes time, i didnt like blue knights vocals last year at the start, but grew to like it. If the show is good enough as a whole, ill get along with vocals. Thats probably what crown will do for me this year.
  19. My guess is that it will be a reverse order of performance ranking (but flip cavies cadets). there will be a considerable gap from bloo/crown to cadets. Cavies will be closer to cadets than one might expect. Crossmen will top stars in some captions but will fall short of topping them overall.
