  1. This is a totally shameless post, but I'm new to LA, so I don't have my normal drum corps posse around anymore, and I'm wondering, is anyone in the LA area getting together to watch finals and maybe have room for one more....?
  2. Oh how I want Boston to be cleaner, great show and great performance energy!
  3. Wow, one sub caption, or, one judge was the difference between Cadets and Bluecoats! So close!
  4. "Hun, have you seen my chops? " "Yes dear, they're on the shelf next to your bugle and AARP card." Really though, kudos to them! I sure wouldn't be able to perform a show without a lot of work.
  5. Cadets show is just so bland and sterile, it's obvious that they have a lot of talent and they're working their butts off, but there's just no sense of connection to, or passion for what they're doing.
  6. Welcome to tonight's 12 minute course, U.S. History 102, the American Presidents....
  7. Hopefully all those fans leaving the stands are heading to the souvie booths to support their corps!
  8. I'll still take the resonance and sonority of Crown along with their 1000 notes a minute....BD is good too, super clear tone, but Crown has true power.
  9. I miss the stripes on the side of the pants. Sure they potentially show flaws in the marching, but they add so much definition to good marching!
  10. Yeah, I'm not really seeing the advertised improvement over last year, particularly in the sound. Sooooo much high frequency noise in the feed! Disappointing.
  11. Really not a fan of these new uniforms. They don't even remotely look like the Colts anymore and the design is just a miss to me. :-/
  12. I miss the stripe on the side of the pants. How can you keep the stripe straight if there's no stripe?? ;)
  13. Cadets putting on a clinic on how to breathe low during the standstill. You could see each one of them totally tank up on every breath. Cool.
  14. Does anyone out there know what the ticket situation is like for the latecomers?
  15. I thought BD would hit 80 tonight for sure, but I'd guess the judges were reluctant to give it to them their first night back from 6 days without a show. They sure make it look easy though and their hornline has a nice clear, pure sound. Vanguard has greatness lurking, just waiting for them to get a handle on the physicality of their show. It'll be exciting when they do!
  16. Pacific Crest has some surprisingly great hornline moments, and when they perform standing still they sound a lot better than you'd expect given their average placement. Nice big, full sound and they have some good lead trumpets capping things off nicely!
  17. I'm at the show right now and I can tell you that attendance is not down at all, in fact, the front stands were darn near sold out and full! It's still June, but all the groups put on a good early season show tonight.
  18. Ugh, missed musical opportunities in RCM! I know it's not part of their show and they probably haven't spent much time on it, but all it takes is teaching the drum major how to conduct the music instead of just keep time.
  19. Hmmm, so many conflicting feelings about Vanguard right now....I'm not a big fan of one of my favorite pieces of music being given a modern interpretation even if it is by my favorite corps. I like the visual package so far and I can tell that they're going to perform the heck out of what they've been given, but as much as I hate to say it, for the first time, Vanguard is going to have to convince me to like this show. :-/
  20. I'm really diggin Crossmen's drill. Not too difficult, but visually effective. It's also not super disconnected and choppy as is the trend in drum corps these days.
  21. Crown will be in the Freedom Fest Parade in Provo, UT, which, is one of, if not the largest Independence Day celebration in the country. In the past, the parade could be seen on KSL Channel 5, and at KSL.com, so keep an eye on that if you want to see them.
