baja Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Comment from one of the fans: "Not bad for 35 Swedes".Especially considering how little competition they have in Sweeden. Outside of DCE, not sure how often they get feedback on their show design and performance. Yaferden herden durden, yah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Kevin, Thank you SO much for the play-by-play for those of us that can't be there. You're painting a beautiful picture. Cali. Ironic, considering I can't take pictures this time around. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 When I saw Beatrix last week in Buffalo, I was blown away by how good they were. Since then, Beatrix has become the first European corps to win a DCI event. Great job, Beatrix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This horn line puts out a wall of sound, first really loud horn line of the show. Drum line is very tight. I don't know how the other DCE drum lines are doing, but the bar appears to be set high this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Guard's got the fedora on now, channeling Sinatra. Great harsh chord from the horn line before moving into a swing section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Guard uniforms kind of remind me of BD's unis in 2001, just yellow and black with sequins and white stripe accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Down and dirty section as the horn line saunters up to the front side line, showing attitude as they play. Great energy to start their show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Just caught some great jazz running technique from a couple trumpets right in front of me. Corps is now performing Vide Cor Meum from Hannibal, a la 2001 Cadets, but without all the weird body positions from the horns. Great sounds as they build to a climax.
