SCV's show was an epic musical fail.
Freanz replied to SWriverstone's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
In my opinion, Metropolis 1927 is one of the most memorable and emotional pieces of music Peter Graham has ever written, with a steady and consistent pulse (I think that's contrary to all of your points). SCV delivered the second best rendition I have ever heard after Black Dyke's European winning version. I think I can sing pretty much most of the melody, excluding the lip slurs, but am not willing to subject anyone to that pain. I feel sad that you missed the moment that the majority of us who were there on Saturday took away. -
Thanks for the clarification - I guess its on each Band Director to decide how much adult assistance they use - never seen it at any of the Texas events I've attended over the last 4 years - thats not to say it didn't happen! Our own director expected band members to run everything that contributed to the show.

DCI 2018 Post Season Review
Freanz replied to EntertainmentTrumpsAll's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
You make good points although it does appear that your perspective is limited to what you see on the screen provided by either Flomarching or Fathom (in my opinion Flo camera coverage has been very poor again this year - another topic!). For a live perspective we attended a ToC show in Katy, a Regional in San Antonio and all 3 days in Indy and I was astounded by the complexity of drill from a high percentage of corps, incl Open Class. With a few exceptions "mega props" were limited with props generally being an extension of what high schools already put on the field. Electronics at the top end are VERY sophisticated - being on the 4th row of LOS we got a close up view of some very expensive mixing desks, which in itself is OK if you can afford them, but then using adult staff to operate them adds a level of skill to the Corps performance that is inconsistent. I do agree that the use of electronic voices is getting out of hand although I like to hear "effect" samples. Anyway just my 2 cents! -

Katy's new stadium has a lot more space with the old stadium adjacent, but agree the Berry Center is a far nicer stadium than Legacy! -

Gotta say, disappointed that there was no judging last night - these kids work their socks off to put these shows on the field - the least DCI could do is reward them with some feedback! -

Looking at the schedule, it’s being judged - scores at 10:10, although probably not a full panel. posted from the DrumScorps app -
