Jak Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I thought tonight was the best IW finals I've ever seen. There were only 3 groups I didn't like (I won't call names). And everyone was really good. On the other hand, this may have been one of the worst SW finals I've ever seen. It was so BORING! I did love Carmel and Avon, however. Avon was really tasty and nuanced, and not tricky or tossy. Just what I want a SW guard to be. And good for them for finally becoming the bride and no longer the bridesmaid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcee Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Congrats to Avon for FINALLY taking the gold....I thought they should of won it last year. Also congrats to Logan for jumping up two spots and taking the silver....they placed better then I thought they would =). Sadly I am on the West Coast and was at a birthday all day so I missed the live feed...anyone have any reviews?

spinmeister Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Random thoughts: I loved NEI's performance and thought it was gold-medal worthy - then I got blown away by SCV!...Not a big fan of Onyx's costumes, as they distracted from the mood of the show...NEI's costumes helped accentuate their excellent body traning...would have had SW in a little different order: Avon, Flanagan, Carmel, James Logan....Warren Central had a great run tonight...loved the sophisticated show styles of both SCV and Avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 a BIG congratulations to AVON!!! WOW! and Congratulations to Onyx on their highest finish in IW ever!! WAY TO GO! : ) Congrats. to Corona for FINALLY get a medal and for the big 9.9 in Equipment vocabulary!! AMAZING! I would have put IW differently - I thought Sacred Heart, Premonition, and Braddock all should have been placed higher. Crown was kind of boring, NEI had a GREAT show, and Aimachi's batons were distracting (they had a fantastic concept and design... just too cluttered with all the batons going on...... should have focused more on spinning REAL equipment). Carmel (IMHO) should have gotten the silver medal and Logan the bronze. Flanagan was too droppy - Warren Central and Arcadia should have been placed higher. Center Grove was LOTS better than I had anticipated (although some of their 45 planes were a mess). Freedom had an amazing flag feature - well, all of their flag work was CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Just my opinion! A real nail-biter of world class finals this year. Loads of talent and outstanding designs. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!! Now onto outdoor color guard (after a small break though...).

tomnotcool Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It's hard to pick and choose because I was watching the guards via webcast, but I really enjoyed James Logan! Aside from the obvious traits that most folks love about Logan, their show reminded me of a childhood classic - "Where The Wild Things Are" - and that's something I can dig all day, err day! : ) Congratulations to our 2009 champions and all the units that competed this season! Job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Murphy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I wish I could have seen it! On a side note, I think WGI needs to review what they've written about Avon. There is a male in their guard this year. "the ladies of Avon. . . " Congratulations AVON! BTW, 3 of the top 5 are from Indiana!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGBRifle Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 What a fun night! I I have to respect every Guard member that goes out there in front of that huge crowd, and performs with every ounce of passion. It just once again reinforces my love for this sport! congrats to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
