Does anyone know if you can listen to the brass tape from Crown's Finals run this year? I'd LOVE to hear what that judge had to say...
It was up for a day before they took it down. Someone from the brass line leaked it (or something to that effect). The brass line wants to keep it to the brass line.
-
A tuning nightmare.
-
I think Crown has the chance to repeat with another well written show... they showed that they can win and their auditions are going to spike and bring in the talent... I think this is going to help their drum talent tremendously.
Just my idea.

Think "Limits" and it all makes sense. The science is limited - speed of light, etc. - the love isn't limited (as is said in the ballad and closing). The love is how he can use the black hole at the end etc.
Thats a rough cut of it. But the idea isn't to think "Science" its to think "Limits" and E=MC^2 is the equation that perplexes scientists in that Light can't be surpassed - we don't think.... Theories.
Well about to head out to a Finals Party! (I'm late lol)
-
Anyone know if DCI has said if awards will still be live-streamed free or is it part of the steaming of finals? I love watching the reactions from the crowd and corps members at retreat.
-
So are you saying that it should not be possible for a corps to jump three places in a caption, even if they "had a completely clean run"?
Was thinking the same thing....
-
If the system has a browser, probably.... try to watch one of the FanNetwork videos with the system this morning. If so, then you -should- be fine.
-
Here's an interesting twist.. what if Champs were decided on a average of scores from all three nights? That might make things fun.
I like that idea actually - I think. I'm going to have to think on that lol....

How did Crown percussion get 4th? They were 6th yesterday.
Different read. The percussion could be inconsistent show to show, the judge could have been in a different spot during portions of the show. Maybe he got more of a read on the front ensemble than the guy last night. Maybe all of that. I don't think it's too farfetched.
Actually they were 7th, but I don't know. Nothing I've seen from them this year says top 5 drumline to me.
This judge actually watched the other percussionists in the front ensemble a little of the time instead of staying with the battery throughout the show. Or so I've been told, I wasn't at semis.
-
Direct comparison is kinda interesting. -Note- The top score is Semis for Crown and Prelims for BD.
From a quick glance it looks like tonight the judges felt like BD was scored too high last night, but Crown's scores are the same or slightly better...
-
If he was out there he was deaf and blind because that drumline (who got 7th last night) is not all of a sudden .2 behind SCV! And all of a sudden their brass is .5 above everyone? Come on! If I was in critique tonight and I was in Cadets, BD, or SCV I would be throwing punches.
Your opinion doesn't answer my legitimate question :doh:/>
-
Someone is telling me that there was no percussion judge on the field for crown's show tonight. Can someone confirm or deny?

Tomorrow night will be one of two things...exact duplicate placements to tonight, or total anarchy. I'd love to see total anarchy.
Except #1 - Anarchy everywhere else :rolleyes:/>

Is there some reason that the recap is not up yet?
They are probably waiting to push it all up at once. Last night they had issues where they slowly pushed up pieces and when it was all said and done, there were a LOT of errors that they went back and fixed.
-
I got to see this recap....
WC Finals turned out awkward for OC... lol

Everyone is allowed an "off" year
In your opinion, which world class corps has the best low brass section this year?
Need I say more?
-
If doing what the pros do was necessary or sufficient to create good drum corps, no one would be marching.
He is talking about microphones.
The Blue Devils never do only "necessary or sufficient". Fifteen world championships were won by exceeding the standard, not meeting it. The same goes for the other top-level corps.
He makes a remark that BD never ONLY do the "necessary or sufficient," but they "exceed the standard." Implying that microphones exceed it.
So you are saying that the secret to BD winning 15 times is because they use microphones?
Then we have my post pointing out that implication.

Jolesch is still around and is operating as Jolesch Enterprises. You can find them at joleschenterprises.com and will also see that Jolesch is the official photographer for both DCI and Music For All/Bands of America. They're still doing band photo days and other events around the country.
I photography company has a website that is that ugly?

Thanks for your input. I've had issues with those hosting services before as the free accounts are limited. I think the grainy-ness you're talking about is the large version of each corps logo in the background. Some of the logos I culled from each corps was very small so expanding them made them pixelated. I distorted them for "artistic" reasons.
Sorry I couldn't satisfy you with the color combos.
The graininess is in your "artistic" distortion - what I referred to as pinstripes.
Color combos has nothing to do with personal taste (well, it has a part), but from purely a design stand point.
I appreciate the two red ticks for voicing an opinion that I clarified was an opinion, and then even thanked the OP for making the banners in the first place... :doh:/> I'm expecting more on this post as well... meh I guess that's what art classes get me...

I don't here it in that video clip... I mean I hear what you are talking about, but I don't interpret it as . . ._ _ _ . . .

Watching this video on EotB... its kinda neat to know where some of the inspiration for the "randomness" comes from. I'm not sure if Crown has cut out the vocals of the sailboat and what not, but here is why that's even in the piece/opera to begin with... Kinda neat.-

This is more likely. Logically it should be just two, I would think, since these accelerators smash two particles from opposite directions (as I understand the process). Still, that may be what they are getting at.
Actually, if I remember correctly, initially the send two, but if a particular unstable isotope is created, they might send more to create that isotope and collide another particle in as well. Sort if a building effect on the short time span.
Of course I could be just blowing smoke....if so, woops :w00t:/>
Cavaliers just got a Fuel Injection in the Staff Department.
