jonnyboy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I was running a bit late for the Fourth of July parade in Glenside, PA. I went with my girlfriend and her mother. We parked behind the Keswick Theater and walked about a block to the main road. I heard drums and horns, and from around the corner came......drumroll please.....the Surf. It was great to see such a larger group. New horns and drums look sharp, and Surf was paying tribute to the spirit of the day by playing a few classic parades tunes. I'm looking forward to seeing the corps in West Chester, the parade was good but didn't scratch my corps itch. p.s. This was the second of three parades for the day, I do NOT miss that!

malletrockr12 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Some great progress from the Surf over the past year! Saw them in Clifton on Saturday and WOW. Powerful sound and visual. The hornline is LOUD. All kinds of crazy stuff. A very lush sound when called for, and a very punchy, powerful sound at other times. A very balanced sound for the most part. The lower brass could contribute more, but it might be an arrangement issue. Who knows? The drumline is clean for this point in the season. Some awesome drill in the second song! You can certainly tell these kids are worked hard in practices. The pit looks to be playing a lot more notes than almost any other corps in Open Class, and some of the lower tiered World Class corps. They could be a lot louder, but performance and characterizing the music is a strong skill set. There's a vibe guy and a Marimba girl toward the center that sell it really well. If they amped (unlikely at this point) or get some harder mallets or something, the numbers are going to reflect this ensemble. The HUGE guard is pretty clean for July. Pretty much no drops that I saw. Interesting uniforms. I'm not sure how I feel about the pink, but it pops and I Guess it fits the theme. They throw a whole heck of a lot. I think the weapons hold their weapons as often as the hornline is too quiet... All in all I am in love with this show and wish this corps the best of luck. I wonder why they aren't scoring better, but I assume that 7 pointing TEAL is the most the judges could give them this early in the season. I hope they keep up the evident work and continue to clean/improve their show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
