Hrothgar15 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I dunno. I'm a huge Jay Bocook fan, but for some reason I just liked SCV's take on it better. I'm not even talking about which version was "truer" to the original, I just thought it fit more into Vanguard's show. It was a great closer, a great powerful, musical ending to their musically focused rest of the show. With Cadets it just seemed sorta trite. I dunno...it's one of those pieces I wouldn't like to hear for a few years. Now Malagueña on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael18 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I definitely prefer SCV's much more aggressive approach. There really is no comparison -yes, what Cadets did was technically amazing, it just didn't have the same sizzle that SCV did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnareline Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 How can you even seriously ask that question? Santa Clara played the heck out of that piece! Much Much better than Cadets version - even if they had no narration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourouttheforty Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yeah, I vote SCV. Cadets seemed much more playful and light hearted, where SCV is, well, the angry Santa Clara that I like. The ending is just awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 SCV, but I did love the ensemble bits and the solo in Cadets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euponitone Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 SCV, but I did love the ensemble bits and the solo in Cadets. Yeah....even i say scv. Cadets version was good, and I certainly like their drill better, but scv's was stronger for obvious reasons (mainly its place and purpose in the show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouthpiece1234 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 It was definitely my least favorite section of the show. funny as it was probably the hardest song of the show to clean. It was probably where most of the cleaning of the show went. It was definitely not a part I ever looked forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tptchic Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I like the 1st part of SCV but with the solo to the end of Cadets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I like them both, a lot. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAMystreaux Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 SCV's arrangement was better, but Cadets performed theirs' much better. I think the way SCV sounded during Shades should have kept them from the championship in 99. . .they sounded very ragged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
