vferrera Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Since most front ensembles dont wear the headgear of their respective corps I suspect there is a good reason for it, which I would guess is that with a visor or other headgear in the way they must look up more frequently to watch the DM and arent able to utilize their peripheral vision. That, plus from a visual ensemble standpoint, hats in the pit are a bit of a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I like it too, Jordan, it just sound really bright and tinny in Bb. I don't mind saying that I think those Madison guard uniforms are a riot. GREAT for the show. I wish I could see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Those are BY FAR one of the coolest guard uniforms I've seen....at least since the "pirates" in '97 and maybe ever! Aside from Crown's "horses" being right up there, these have to be tops in probably the last 15-20 years, IMO. I'm so psyched! Sorry...I know i'm repeating myself here...i'm just still so shocked. Haha POW!!! Edited June 18, 2009 by BigBadMadMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering why we can't get that same type of excitement, substance, and quality of arrangement in the actual field shows (although Relámpago seems like a HUGE step in the right direction musically). I'm sure the loss of Boerma has something to do with it. Edited June 18, 2009 by Hrothgar15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the loss of Boerma has something to do with it. This show is unmistakably Madison (New Madison?) The hornline has added some very strong upper leads and the opener particularly is all about impact. I feel like it meanders a bit during the center of the show but it gets back on track for the closer. Edited June 18, 2009 by Scerpella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panama303 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I bet by San Antonio the corps will be in red hats and red shoes....Now POW POW POW for real! Go Scouts, always loved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupid_06 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Meh...I don't like the sashes at all (hopefully that changes by the time I go to Murfreesboro). Guard unis are cool though =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acn Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I love the guard uni's. Not quite sure about the sash. Maybe I was expecting something along the '88-'02 version. The only thing I really don't like is the the red sash and maroon drums don't really go that well - but that's small potatoes. Can't wait to see how thing go down at the so called "show of shows" GO SCOUTS!!!! POW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
