i never really liked the straight leg technique.
-
-
just stay away from all corps, its really just a unecesary distraction to the members when family or friends show up.

I just wish they would move away from the "straight leg, stick up the butt" marching style everyone seems to be using these days.

why add another hour to the finals show?

Do they really have no better ideas than to rehash a recent Pioneer show?
rehashed pioneer show? not even close.

But why? While other corps are "tweeking" their show PR is doing major rewrites to show. This seems to happen a lot lately. Half way through the season, people are being fired, others coming to the rescue. Yes, the show is greatly improved, but it should have been at this point a month ago. And IMO, the music book is full of excessive notes like run on sentences especially toward the end of the show, as if to make the music last longer. It all boils down to staff. Clean house and find a way to hire a first class staff.
I think the horns, drums, and guard are fine, you add a world class visual program to that and a lot of the problems would disappear. I'm sure this is not the situation the Regiment would like to be in, they picked the wrong drill person, and they are paying the price.

In situations like this, does the corps send the fixer a high cam shot of the drill so they show up knowing what they want to do?
That's a good question, I don't know how they do it.

To be clear, I don't know if he's rewriting or not. I'm just going off of what the first poster previously said and trying to translate it to something that would be understood by the other poster.
I would assume he is there to rewrite, and fix some of the major visual problems. But I have not talked to him since the Rockford show.

That’s exactly right. He is a feet guy, a cleaner-upper, not really a redesigner.

What? I don't understand what you are saying.

Looks like Tony Hall is on tour with Phantom.

I hope this is the final year of bringing back old favorites. The retreads are never as good as the original. This year’s Fire Of Eternal Glory is the latest example. It doesn’t approach the magical moment that was the ‘93 version. Ugh.
Just remember that Fire Of Eternal Glory was not all that "magical" until Drums along the Rockies when they changed the drill and took the helmets off for the first time.

The arrangement is fine, its just played by a small ensemble.

Meanwhile, Blue Stars are playing a really fun piece that just so happens to be composed by a woman. No “look at us” involved with their choice.
And yet you have created a "look at us" moment.

I don't believe guys should even march this year! I also think that all instruction, and volunteers should be female. In fact only women should be able to see this show.
-
Every group will start with their equipment grounded so they can dance around to pre-recorded sounds for the first 2 minutes, followed by 3 minutes of drum solo, with more horn/guard dancing. The next 6 minutes will be mezzo-forte stand and play 16th note runs, with lots of synthetic goo. Then to cap it off, some run and gun to the end, with even more synthetic goo, and cymbal rolls.

I hate this straight leg marching technique that Regiment, and almost everyone else uses.

Excited to see how the Mandarins score against Phantom. If they do place above PR...that would be huge. Beating a past DCI World champion is big for a corp like Mandarins.
Didn't they already beat Madison?

I think I want SCV to win just because they don't march with straight legs.

Newbie here...what is goo?
posted from the DrumScorps app
goo happens when a kid on a synth. takes his finger, and presses down with all his might, to blast out low bass sound. this is done at about 10 decibels more than a 747 taking off.

Saw the Cavaliers in Dubuque, I was not that impressed. someone needs to put a stopwatch on the horn line to see how much they actually play.
