Yeah, it was late, however "allusive" kind of works in a very long stretch save face kind of reaching for it way. "Elusive" would be better. Saying that I found Phantom to be good but not communicating to the audience as if behind a glass wall is more accurate of my take on the performance. A glass wall that does not block sound. Does such exist? If so, is there a show idea there?
Don't misunderstand-- I was trying to correct wayold, not you
. It was just a friendly jab at someone who was attempting to correct a supposed usage error with his own usage error. Anyway, the short review is much appreciated!

PR is "allusive"?
I agree with most of your comments.
"Allusive" alludes me.
I don't know if this is some meta/ironic joke or something, but I think you meant "eludes"

93 Star though wasn't " a masterpiece "... that's the point. It didn't even win that year... And my definition of a "masterpiece" Corps is one that BOTH won the Title AND was the crowds favorite...
By your definition the following shows are NOT masterpieces:
BD 83
SCV 87
PR 89
Beware of the old dogs on dcp.
As for the topic at hand, I give SCV a month before they really start surprising people.
-
BC is for real this season.
-
typically, BD scores about 3 points ahead of SCV at this point of the season. but if they really do have the show everyone says that they do, i will not be surprised if BD 6-points SCV tomorrow night.

Just because they are the "B" corps doesn't lessen the possibility of striving for perfection. Lack of experience doesn't equal lack of drive. Yes SCV is a top notch group but just because the "B" corps isn't a world class corps doesn't mean that they can't perform an entertaining and mature production. The drumline is filled with motivation and skill. Though young the hornline is driven by strong leadership and are experiencing tremendous improvement. This post is probably irrelevant to your thoughts or opinions.
BRASSO is simply stating fact: BDB does not have a Top 5 World Class corps. Do you think that they do?
-
thanks for the review. any comments on the brass book of each corps? quality of arrangement, cohesiveness, difficulty, hum-ability, tastiness, etc...
-
Finally got to hear some ensemble brass tonight! Heard the ballad (which is changing from the listed piece to a new one) and the closer (which is a reprise of the Mahler 2 mvt 1 (which also opens the show)). In a shocking development (not) CC MMX has both the arrangement and horses to pull of the Mahler. Was a lot of fun listening to them rattle the windows at Fort Mill HS. I heard tomorrow brass is all ensemble so hopefully I'll get to hear more of the show.
what? mahler 2 is less epic without it's finale. DO THE FINALE CROWN.
-
consistency has been SCV's main problem for the past oh i don't know 20 YEARS. hope this gets them back into championship-form.
-
Ok, are you telling me Vangaurd drumed better than cadets? Even with the fall? LOL NO WAY
nvm
-
Can anyone who paid better attention than I did let us know how many age-outs Crown had on the field after Semi's?
Better yet, can someone give estimations for other corps as well?

SCV: Pictures at an Exhibition
I'd die.
-
SCV's percussion score is the bane of my existence. Also, drops in their brass and color guard scores... C'MON SCV!
-
Why?
Shouldn't the burden of proof be on your shoulders? The judging community and majority of fans see Boston in the 7-9 tier. You think they should be in the top 5-- WHY?
-
Have you seen the top 5.
Have YOU seen the top 5 this year? I have, and I agree with most everyone in this thread, execution and design in not on par with SCV, Crown, Cadets, Cavies, and BD.
-
saw a video of last night's performance on you know where... the center snare is sick! holy crap!
edit: sick as in infected
-
I just got back from the show. I have a recap
GE V BD 19.1 SCV 18.9 BC 18.6 BAC 17.8
GE M 19.6 19.4 19.1 18.6
TOT 38.7 38.3 37.7 36.4
V P 19.3 18.9 18.3 18.1
E 19.0 18.8 18.2 17.9
CG 19.2 19.0 17.8 17.9
TOT 28.75 28.35 27.15 26.95
M B 19.1 18.5 18.4 18.1
E 19.4 18.9 18.4 18.2
P 19.2 18.7 18.6 18.3
TOT 28.85 28.05 27.70 27.30
If these are accurate, I'm happy to see SCV so close to BD in GE ad Visual... but those music captions are disappointing.
-
So being a contender and being a crowd favorite is mutually exclusive?
-
1. 2000- So under-appreciated. Listen to the brass sound in the entire closer, holy crap are they balanced. plus the awesome pit feature.
2. 2003- Opener and Closer so so entertaining-- the middle section, not so much.
3. 2001- Hot drums, hot brass, awesome colorguard-- vintage BD.
4. 2004- HOT brass.
everything else = meh.
-
If BD gets handed their first lost of the season on Finals night again, I think I'll die laughing.
-
whoa CC! I didn't think they'd be THIS close to BD. Here they come!
The PR-BS-BC drama is back on.
scores and recaps up on dci.
-
Judging by the recent scores for Crown, I think this is quite do-able! GO CROWN!!!
Crown scoring a 95.6 is extremely unlikely-- that would mean they'd be .15 behind BD; Crown whittling down a 2.5 gap in 1 week... I don't think so.
-
CC is going to get at least 94.7 tomorrow.I'm guessing [Crown] will score 94.75 ... 1 point from BD ...i'm gonna say crown breaks 95 tomorrow night...
I know this is DCP and all, but I still have to ask: What are you guys basing these on????
-
At least their brass score didn't get affected by the sickness; SCV scored a 19.1 in brass tonight.... wow.
SCV ending

So will they be performing the closer this weekend?
