LOVE the new silks!!

I just can't get into any of Bloo's endings this year. They all feel about 24 counts too short.

I auditioned for Cadets color guard 1997 and was offered a spot but I chickened out and I didn't take it. I had never marched color guard before and was too scared. Several of my best friends at the time marched in the guard that summer. It was a decision I have regretted ever since.
I LIVE for that color guard!

I'm sure they don't on tour. Too busy and tired.
It takes two clicks and 5 seconds to access this site. Of course they read them.

My first regional in 9 years couldn't have had better performances. I don't care who wins, Crown, BD and Cadets were all incredible.

In Little Rock most people yelled it right before the opening hit

I thought the Crossmen were there too last night!!! I guess you missed them :(
Unfortunately, I had to step out for a work call so I only caught the last half of their show from the voms. I loved the uniforms, and the guard was strong. Even with the hornline in front of the pit, the field looked cluttered during the ballad. I think wind was an issue for the kites.

Here is a very poor video from tonight that shows the lights on the coils and pit.

Here is a low quality video (from my snapchat...) of SCV. You can't really see the sashes, but you can see the light on the coils and pit.

Just in from the show...a few thoughts...
A good crowd, much better than last years, and thankfully now 2 hour rain delay.
- Has OC always been this good? I need to may more attention to corps on the bottom end of the top ~21
- I enjoyed Colts so much more than I had before. The edits are working, keep 'em coming.
- I just can't get into the Blue Stars' guard book. It seem so unlyrical and compulsory.
- BK is just one big bag of skittles and I love it. Whoever is in charge of their color palette should get all the dollars.
- Vanguard....wow. I went to rehearsal last night so I knew what was coming, but wow....seeing the lights under the lights was just awesome. It got a huge WOW from the crowd. The lights are on the coils, the sashes, and the pit instruments. I could tell by how they rehearsed that they were in this for a medal, and that's the way they played tonight. Such an amazing show and such an outstanding performance.

I got to watch Vanguard rehearse some last night. They were adding in little tidbits throughout the show, and really working on selling the ballads [what a great year for ballads...]. This will also be only my second time to BK all season, can't wait to see ALL THE COLORS. Hope the rains hold off!

I'm liking the new silks....not a huge change, but I think it'll boost the guard's visibility and therefor the scores. I still don't think they're being rewarded for the difficulty of their work, and now that they're in blinding neon, I hope that will change.
As far as the corps uniform, what if they adopted a look similar to the 1997 guard uniform? White pants, black jacket with lime cummerbund? I think it would look awesome. I know thats the worst pic ever but it's all I could find. The guard shakos were blue, I think?

Photos on Instagram show that they're still using the old colors.

Interesting that the original color scheme was based on October foliage...I never got that. Glad to see it change. Hope this helps the guard score.

For Cadets coloring, not positive, but consider this: Neon is the 10th element in the periodic table. Google Neon images and look at the color scheme.
Maybe if the Cadet's 1s and 0s were actually neon lights they would add some effect on the field

This year's guard uniform and color scheme is very reminiscent of the SideXSide show they did a few years back, very simplistic and classic cadets.
When I think of some of the really great and classic Cadets guards from the past, simple color schemes don't come to mind. 92, 93,96, 97 (
), 98( :wub:), 99, '00, 03 all had hugely diverse color schemes that changes wildly from song to song. 98 literally just went through the rainbow. -

I think my biggest qualm with the Cadets' color scheme is that there are really only 4 colors on the silks, two of which are in similar tones to the uniforms. They only use red, orange/gold, blue, and purple. When you compare that to BD (~7 colors), Bloo (~7), BK (all the colors), the pallette just seems a little plain. There are times when using silks that are close to the uniform can really work - Stonehenge in '98 comes to mind, but this year, I think it's all a little too warm.

One guard not mentioned here is BK. I think the mirrors somewhat limit the guard staging, but I think they have the best color pallet in DCI this year (and last year too).
Crown is far and away the best guard of the season, though not my personal favorite (SCV). I think they're the best guard Crown's had since "A Second Chance" and that whackadoodle Adam Sage flag book.

This entire season is just...

Does the text on BD's guard uniform mean anything or is just something similar to Lorem Ipsum?
