Narration Poll

[ctbonesfan]

There are at least twelve corps that have used some sort of speech. Certainly there had to be one that is liked.

If I had to pick one, the one-off line in BD 2006 is it...but only because I'm such a "Godfather" fan to begin with. :P

You should have the option "I liked all these shows" - because I did. And that is in spite of the narration. If I had to choose the one I liked best, it would be a toss up between Cadets 2005 and BD 2006, although I have not gotten a chance to soak in Cadets or Bluecoats this year... I may turn out to like them better.

If I were to award "best narration," I would say it is either BD 2005 or Bluecoats 2007.

Bluecoats 2007. They know how to use it effectively. Can't say that for the maroon platoon.

Why is is you believe there had to be one that traditionalists like? That is a loaded statement....I am sure people may have liked those shows in spite of the narration but that does not mean they like a narrated show. Do you see the difference?

Not really narration, but amplified voice nonetheless: Bluecoats 2005

Call it my old time drum corps roots but it is my honest opinion that if you need narriation to "add" to what we are seeing on the field, then you are not doing enough on the field.

Easy one for me. Crossmen 2006. "Good morning Madison. Brian and company...."

[Tommeee]

2006 Crossmen wasn't the best SHOW, but it was a great use of NARRATION. It wouldn't have been half as entertaining without it. In fact, the narration was really REQUIRED in order to make the show work.

Now, some would say that they should have chosen a show concept that doesn't require narration in order to work, but that is being discussed in other threads.
