cantgetenoughcorps Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This year there are alot of different themed shows out there. Which corps do you think have the simplest concept to understand just from watching their show. I think the 2 corps I would have to go with are Blue Stars and Colts this year. I think both of these 2 guards do the best of their ability to portray the themes. Blue Stars is more physical, with the design of the flags(like the handlebar pole) and the props. Colts have the night and day theme, and I think they probably have the best flag designs out there this year. Honorable mention would go to Cavaliers, Bluecoats, and Phantom Regiment. All of these are well portrayed, but not quite as recognizable as the Blue Stars and Colts. Shows like Blue Devils, SCV and Crown are all great shows this year as well, but some of those themes are kind of hard to portray. Some great visual moments from all of them, but it would be hard to watch them not knowing what the theme was, and at the end be able to say, that show was about......

skajerk Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, come on. Cadets have to top the list. I mean, they insist on telling you about it while it's going on. If you can't understand the show from that, Heaven help you. Yeah. I'd list eveyone that you did but add Troopers to the list as well.

heather anne Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I don't think Troopers are all that hard to understand this year; I would add them to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OICMR corps Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 What about Crossmen? It's Planet X. They play songs about planets and make lots of Xs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyle079 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 bluecoats are easy to understand, kinda been looked over other than them: phantom troopers glassmen, not yet mentioned. crown? (after someone tells you its a search for an ending by a mad composer) crossmen, come on just X's and the planets... scouts have good music, but the theme is kind of strange. awesome show other than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantgetenoughcorps Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 I didn't list Cadets as I wouldn't have a clue what that show was about. They tell you, but I am talking about the corps portraying the music and visual to tell you what the show is. Maybe if they played the song from Peanuts(Happiness is...) Crossmen, I would also probably give them honorable mention. I kind of overlooked them, sorry Bones. Crown, I am sorry, it is a fantastic show that I would love to see in the top 3, but just listening I would never guess those are all endings. Sure, it is very recognizable music from a variety of places, but I am not sure how many people would know they are all endings of recognizable pieces.
