2017 Uniform Thread
DawsonBurnes replied to DawsonBurnes's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I wish Phantom at the very least would include some sort of shoulder overhang like in the older uniforms (late 80s, entire 90s, early 2000s) -

2017 Uniform Thread
DawsonBurnes replied to DawsonBurnes's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
The show description mentions a battle between reality and imagination. My guess is white = reality and black = imagination/ghosts or something of that like. -

That's what we're doing at Southwind. After we complete the season we get to take our uniforms home as well -

There will be. Both black and white helmets for a Cadets '11 feel -

I actually liked it a LOT more than the white uniform they wore in 2006 with the "Primal Forces" show -

Judging/Scoring Tutorial?
DawsonBurnes replied to mjoakes's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm just confused on how judges quantify a performance. Is one note crack a loss of half a point, or something like that? And are they judged like AP tests (points added to the score based on their achievement), or do they start at the top score for the caption and take away points? -
Phantom Regiment 2017
DawsonBurnes replied to Cappybara's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I think it's pretty obvious that there's a correlation between the two uniform designs given in the uniform sketch some of us have seen and the concept of the show ("Phantasm explores the stark contrasts between reality and imagination, the real and the unreal"). We weren't too wrong in thinking prior to the show announcement that the show could be about some sort of a war. This one seems to be dealing with the real and the unreal (humans vs. ghosts?) -

Whatever they do is gonna kill my time for summer reading and AP class assignments -
Phantom Regiment 2017
DawsonBurnes replied to Cappybara's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
That and horn-holding, visual, music, and running assignments. I never realized how time-consuming drum corps is outside of camps. -

2017 Uniform Thread
DawsonBurnes replied to DawsonBurnes's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm noticing more and more corps go without the shako chain strap. I hope corps keep them because I really like how they look -
I'm pretty sure this show is about/inspired from "The Scarlet Letter." It makes sense because it shows the "A" for adultery in the title and it seems to be implying the Salem Witch trials with the movement names. I hated the book but I'm sure I'll love the show!

They would've ruined the white uniforms if they wore the green feathers during a performance imo -
Why don't corps compose their own music?
DawsonBurnes replied to BoaDci's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
For me personally, I love it whenever a drum corps plays a song I recognize. It makes me feel much more attached to the performance. That's not to say corps that use music I haven't heard don't make me feel connected to the performance, but it's pretty enjoyable for me to hear a song in a drum corps you can hum along to. That's one reason I think audiences will enjoy Southwind's show, because we're using music that is familiar to the audience, like Toxic, Superstition, etc. -

I never said I wouldn't love the old uniforms. As Spandy said, it's too early to judge. I said I'd miss the old uniforms because they're so classy and awesome, but these new uniforms have to potential to be classy and awesome as well -
2017 Uniform Thread
DawsonBurnes replied to DawsonBurnes's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Now that you say that, that would be pretty cool and make a ton more sense. I thought those "gauntlets" looked weird, but they're actually cuffs! And the collar too. But what doesn't make sense to me is the chest of the uniform. It wouldn't look very appealing with just a jacket over it. What I'm hoping is they'll start with the jacket and maybe some sort of shirt under that, then rip off the jacket, shirt, collar, and cuffs. That would be pretty cool. I'm sensing a sort of "Great Gatsby"-esque show because of the uniform and the picture. This would make sense because the 20's are also called the "Jazz Age," and Spirit is known for playing jazz. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it. -

That's unfortunate. I always loved their uniforms
