Yeah, I'd love to see them doing southern jazz... but thats just a pipe dream. I'll just have to listen to the SOA back catalogue for that.

Times are a changing! I miss the old Madison.
I wonder what the F to M ratio will be. One thing is for sure... a corps of that history should not be sitting in 17th+

Not that I'm anti-Crossmen, but I truly hope PR beats these guys.
Not forgetting Spirit

PR definitely wins the "most improved from first performance of 2019 season until LOS."
Certainly one of the top point gainers from first show to today... 4th (behind Coats, BD and Crown)

Spirit finals prediction? Will they make finals? Who will they beat?
My heart wants them to make finals, but not at the expense of Phantom. Will be an interesting few days 🙂
-
OK then... 2019 PR predictions?
I'm going with 11th at finals.

Yes, great jump for Spirit - 2.25 points!
Has SoA ever made finals? (I'm kinda new to DCI.)
Go and seek out Spirit 70s and 80s. 1990 is also a very special year. You're in for a treat.

Great topic of discussion. I am a huge fan of 80's and 90's drum corps. The main thing about those shows compared to now is indeed the lack of emotion in the musical scores, and that a tune is rarely given more than 6 bars before moving onto the next musical phrase. As an example... Star of Indiana got it perfect... they played a whole tune, were technical when required, but simple when it needed to be, very emotional and fantastic visually.
One tune that stood out for me this year was Spirits ballad. They did a great job and shows it can be done.

My girlfriend loved bac... She's not a drum corps girl.

Nice to see Cavvies and Cadets have their identifiable sound still

Arrangers change, doubt an arranger would want to mimic the style of another. Designers are prideful folk.
I get what you're saying but phantom have had that "sound" for decades... Didn't hear it tonight.
-
Yeah, just another generic sounding corps now. Really sad. Always loved their "sound"... Where is that bass brass and those awesome chord progressions.
-
They don't sound like Phantom Regiment :(

Come on Spirit....

Those trumpet solo bits at the back were not good... A bit pinchy. I do quite like the show though musically, it's just not Madison.

I'm struggling to see why this even needs to be bought up. We're all the same in DC whether we're straight or not. I've never been in a corps/band where a quote "queer" member has been given harsh treatment or made to feel any different to the next member. If anything this just singles them out. Just my opinion.
