Too bad 2021 was an exhibition year. I honestly don't remember that show so I will try to find it. Same staff?
Not sure about the staff in 21 compared to 22, 23 but what I can tell you is last year’s staff and members were definitely young

I feel like we've been saying that for the past decade now. It's sad to see the Scouts going on FIRST in a huge regional show. I hope they can turn things around soon.
There 2021 show was far superior to the last two offerings . Start from there and move forward.

I feel like this show hasnt changed all season. Its gotten cleaner musically and visually but nothing seems changed.
I agree, except I would’ve hoped it would’ve cleaned up more than this. Hopefully just an off night tonight?

Once again, DCA and Open Class have some really fun creativity going on in show design.
Yep, and I really wish they gave the announcers a script for the DCA corps that state “they are weekend only and their season ends Labor Day weekend”

Confused reactions are so weird. Like why is anyone confused. Either you agree with me or you don't. I'd rather someone say, "You're wrong stupid" than hit that confused button. Grates my nerves.
Opinions are not wrong. They are just opinions. 😊

Boston really starting to pull out the stops
To date of the top placing corps they have by far my favorite musical program and I am a music first fan. This has the potential to be a barnburner by the end of the year and you know what I hope it wins it all!!

That vocal has to go.
That’s the obligatory criteria this year, having a female vocal at the beginning of a show how many corps have it 20 30? 😊

Cadets new ending is AWESOME!!! Clean the feet up with time and it's gonna be even better. Musically the Cadets are so incredibly strong this year.
I don’t know why, but I feel like this is one of those years were cadets will really lay one down in Allentown 😁

I think they could bury them both visually if they get cleaner.
Cadets are so dirty Visually right now I don’t know why but they are very unsure looking on their feet.
I really like the show. I would love to see it go far. Come on cadets, clean up the feet and the forms.

Yes, like I said, musically they are super strong. But music only counts for 30%, so unless they can find a way to up their GE, it will still be tough to stay ahead of PR and Mandarins... imo.
I can maybe see cadets sneaking buy one of those corps on finals night . Like when Phantom caught Cavaliers last season at finals

It will be interesting. I'm not sure they can keep up with PR and Mandarins in GE, but musically they are so strong.
Cadets drum line finished fourth last week in San Anton

What is the illness that is wreaking havoc on corps this summer????
Illness is nothing new for the drum corps members, especially at this point in the season.
I don’t know for sure but my thought is the corps can’t perform their full show because members have to move props, which should be completely revisited in my opinion 😏 -

Gates open in 5 minutes. We're going to need an official "DCI Gate Flow Report". I don't want to experience my entrance to Murfreesboro & Finals from last year. I'm still in therapy... 🫢
For finals this year I am going to hideout under a seat Friday night in the 600 section 😁

This will be a spectacular show and could have some interesting results.
Definitely and we should get in to the business of sensible scores and spreads 😊

I love that soloists are mic'd now... Much better balance especially when the soloist is accompanied by the rest of the brass. But mic'ing individuals or lining the front sidelines with mics to amp the entire corps... I hate everything about it. And I say this knowing my favorite corps (BD) is doing it.
Micing soloists is horrible as well in my opinion. First , people have to do a where’s Waldo to find out where the soloist is many times, you don’t really Hear the soloists natural tone and most corps all use the same reverb setting so a lot of these individuals sound the same 👎👎

this is an old discussion. there's a thread about it in the roundtable forum that started in 2011.
balance is one of the most important elements of musicality for me, but dci hasn't cared about it one bit with anything A/E since it passed a couple decades ago. if it's still on the rubrics then it's universally ignored when it comes to A/E even though it has a huge impact on a corps' sound.
the discussion about micing sections/small ensembles/soloists is just an extension of it. it will never go away, be curtailed in any way, or be taken into account on the rubrics dci corps come up with and judges use. be prepared for more of it, not less.
Reasons for allowing amplification WERE
So the pit could be better heard
So pit members can play with proper technic
To reduce the size of the pit
at least 2 of 3 of these have never happened . A complete shame and disgrace 🙁👎

Honestly, I think coats has a better run in them probably tomorrow night

Show does nothing for me. Doesn't have that thing like last year's.
It’s early yet ….

That's silly. Almost every single corps has their tropes and musical calling cards that show up year after year.
Not as much as BD in my opinion. Some of their ideas have been going on for 10 years.

You must not be listening, since none of them are even remotely the same.
But the idea of it and presentation is the same year after year
