  1. It's the staff's fault for continuing to design shows that don't resonate with the masses. Sorry for those who disagree or don't want to hear it, but how many people have to say it before you believe that their show designs tend to be difficult to get into?
  2. I object to the idea that everyone must stand, even if they don't want to. Do I stand? Yes. Do I stand for every band at a 2 day BOA regional? Yes. I think the lower scoring bands and corps deserve the appreciation and motivation more than the higher scoring ones. The high scoring ones know they're good.
  3. These modernized videos are the best. If you haven't, check out the entire collection.
  4. Would opening the LOS roof and having an alien ship land at the end of the show be penalized? Might be worth it πŸ˜€
  5. Here's hoping Regiment has the best performances of the season each of the next 3 days!
  6. Perfectly said, I feel that 80 was where the harshness was mostly gone, especially in the top 12. Pre 80, most corps still had some harshness, not that I haven't enjoyed listening to recordings many times in the past. But more recently, I'm not interested in listening to pre 80 other than for some quick nostalgia (Kilties, for example). But I can still watch and listen to the top 12 from 80 with great joy. That was such a great year.
  7. I'm with you, and I think they should have won in 88, which most likely would have lead to Regiment winning in 89. This is how I would have preferred it to play out.
  8. I'm a visual designer for high school bands, and I've been on both sides of . 1 and . 05 differences multiple times, deciding making/missing finals or winning a class championship. It's interesting how you feel based on which side you're on. I think I'm handling it better as age, but maybe not. Anyway... Let's face it, Regiment, Mandarins and Cadets are a tight 5/6/7 (Cavies are a long shot, dark horse). Over the next week, their placements are likely to vary. Most people reading this thread, including me, would like Regiment to place as high as possible, but wherever they end up, I'll suggest that hopefully people won't think of this season differently. The corps has taken a step forward, and it's been great to see.
  9. They've got the ending right! The costume change to white, while perhaps sounding good on paper, seemed forced. The traditional uniform plus the rope encircling the sun at the end (I guess we shouldn't be surprised) is perfect.
  10. Repeating myself: Love it, except for one thing: it's really too bad that there's a speaker blocking what would otherwise be a beautiful picture/video 😞

  12. Didn't say that. Asking for some variety, just like what I'm hearing others ask for.
