AlexL Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 They did the same thing last year...Till mid season in order to save $$$$ and it sucked last year too... scores meant nothing until halfway through the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Don't scores technically mean nothing until finals week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexL Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Don't scores technically mean nothing until finals week? technically, but at least from midseason until then you know where corps stand relative to each other up until then. right now we're on completely different playing field, and a corps thats beating another right now may be way behind when the full panel comes out in a few weeks, its impossible to know. I want to remember blue stars benefiitting a lot from the full panel last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cache_Money Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wider shot I like this. Visual focus should be on the field, and having the performers in neutral colors (instead of MM uni) minimizes the visual distraction of people playing in the pit. This is a continuation of a trend started when pit performers stopped wearing covers (hats), for the same reason. (As an aside, I played marimba/vibes in high school in the 80s, and I remember watching on the video replays how distracting it was when I head bobbed up an down to watch the DM and the keyboard -- we had shakos and big plumes.) Maybe this trend will continue, and pit performers will wear camo and face paint, so they can really fade into the background? Or will the pit become even more like an actual "pit" orchestra, where they're blocked from audience view by a screen? I guess pit performers should be heard and not seen?

JK Yeah, this is going to be a very strong show visually before too long and I agree with your assesments on focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesmr Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Is there a guy laying down in front of the pit?? One of Regiment's casualties from last year, perhaps? Never "cleaned up" after the show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
