RickCogley Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Just listened to the various APDs in question, and as much as I love Regiment, I have to say they were sounding pretty rough. Lots of flubs in the brass that even I could pick out. The corps that were above them were sounding very, very smooth. Here's hoping Regiment can clean it up and not get a nerves attack at the shows that matter. Too bad we have to wait for another recording, lol.

LAMystreaux Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 "Actually that "jazz run" is one of my least favorite parts of the visual program. It's a mess. To me it is a variation of a scatter just to simply get the hornline in front of the guard. It serves little to no purpose visually.""OK, sarcasto. . .whatever it is supposed to be, its not effective for me. . .sorry my opinion differs from yours." You know what they say about assuming? Just because I don't like the make-up or technique of the maneuver does not mean I don't understand what is being attempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekkles Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 that's true. it's pretty obvious that in this situation, though, that you had no idea what you were looking at. like i said earlier, if you think it was stupid, there's nothing anyone can do to help you enjoy it more. the problem lies in the fact that it just went over your head; you even used the phrase "whatever it is supposed to be"! it's clear that you didn't even recognize what was happening on the field. and that's ok, really, there's no reason for you to be fighting this.

beavs Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Regarding the phlocking... I think the point was that he didn't get it. He didn't know what he was looking at. I didn't know what I was looking at. When making a show, its important to keep the audience in mind. If that drill move didn't effectively portray "flocking" or whatever that would be a problem. The design team can believe whatever they want to believe about the show. I'm not going to let a show designer get on the top 6 dci dvd commentary and tell me the corps was flocking when all I saw was prancing around in a blob. No one around me knew that the prancing blob was a flock of birds. Want to make that move more effective? Create that ripple effect that most flocks of birds create. You know what I'm talking about... when a mass of hundreds of birds change direction, but not all at the same time. Thats one amazing sight, and it would be great on the field. Cavaliers 2000 comes to mind - that morphing triangle that starts from the point and works its way up while the members turn around... might be cool...

RickCogley Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah, beavs, it's the suggestion of the thing that makes it attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
