No. Cadets were great tonight
??? I thought this was their worst of the 3 performances in Indy, but I may have been too focused on that out of tune trumpet solo. To each is own.
-
Quick thoughts: do Mandies catch Cadets based on those performances?
-
Mandarins 7th in brass after finishing 14th in Atlanta. Percussion is killing them.
-
Mandarins were told it was for entering field early...despite being told to do so by field official

What was the Mandarins penalty for? 1st one i've seen this year.
entered field too early, but they are saying they were directed to by field staff

Crud-bucket. I totally forgot to tell the Mandarins to "bring it" earlier today, and they dropped 0.6.
Don't tell anyone or I'll be strangled by the DM!
its all your fault 😉

Mandarins finish 10th overall, but 9th in GE and 8th in visual. Brass and percussion both 14th, does that seem about right to those who watched all of the performances? Watched their performance and thought their brass was much better than in the past, but I'm not qualified to judge.

Really hope slotting doesn’t take over the rest of the season. The top corps are sooooo close. It really should be a toss up right now.
I think reputation, both long standing from previous years, but also from earlier in the season, start to really play a factor at this point in the season. Feels like that all gets shaken up a bit in Indy.

Rankings from this show exact same as San Antonio

I don’t know that Cadets is above Crossmen.
Didn't see Cadets perform, but read lots of comments about struggles on their hornline.

The story is unclear. Obviously there are a few important characters there but it is not obvious what the plot is.
Wondering if they have some surprises in store that will help it snap together by finals.

Its funny cuz I'm struggling to see how people like it! Its like-- I watched this STUPID movie about nazi zombies the other day. I thought it was just awful. And to my horror there were people on Netflix rating it 5 starts best movie they've ever seen. Just not my taste.
I feel the same way about that Westworld show that everyone loved.
When it comes to the Mandies I am also 100% biased.
-
I know taste is an individual thing, but I'm struggling to see how people don't like this show.
-
So do we know that the 67.95 is incorrect?

Low stadium, but I’m sitting on the top row on the side 1 40 yard line.

You are at least 5 yards off from center, what's going on? 🙂
That is low if it's the top row.-

Not comparing shows or scores, that's a no-no, but it's still weird to see Mandarins with a higher score than Cadets coming outta the first weekend. But i love it. Way to go Mandarins. Lets see where BK fits in to the mix next weekend. BK is no joke and will be ready.
Also curious about Spirit of Atlanta. Anybody have reconnaissance on them? They had some very positive things going last season. I believe their first performance is tomorrow. They're likely to be a bit lower in the rankings but could make things interesting come Indy.

the ETA for scores was 2 mins ago, come on, I wanna go to bed!

I have you covered. Watching on flo and I have my laptop to talk as I watch.
Though there is also some whisky involved tonight so maybe I shouldn’t comment 😂
My suggestion: don't skimp on the whisky.

Great start for Mandies in Clovis tonight!
More than 4 points above their opening score from a year ago. A bit surprised their score wasn't closer to Cavies from everything I've seen and heard, but a great start. I really am expecting them to be in the 6-8 range this year, at a minimum. As a reference point, they are starting .01 above where Cadets started a year ago, and Cadets ended up in 7th. Still a long journey ahead, but my gut instinct tells me that's their destined range this year. Hard to imagine them NOT improving from their 10th spot last year. They seem stronger musically and have a more complex show this year. Wish we could fast forward to San Antonio. Anxious to see this season unfold.

Others out there will be able to say something intelligent about the music at the BD and SCV levels. It all sounds great to me.
Anyone who likes to complain about park and bark will have plenty of opportunities with SCV and BD. It didn’t bother me. Mandarins do a bunch of drill.
Interesting observation. Mandies were accused a little bit of the park and bark last year, and also of having a week brass, but they've tried to bolster both of those this year, and continue the string of awesome show themes.

DCI World Championship Finals - Saturday, August 10, 2019

Fine on mine. Excellent quality - very high def on my monitor...loses a bit when I stream to tv, but that's not surprising. Likely an internet connection issue.
