walshinsurance Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 If you think about the chairs as adding another dimension to the flat surface of the field and the way the BD designers use them, you'll understand why they are essential to the show. Additionally, the show opener and closer are about the jazz clubs of the 30's and the chairs are a part of that as well. They're not just props, but add elevation and dimension. At least that's my take. Yes, but from a drill standpoint...they don't look like they move from the square form for at least 4 minutes of the show. IMO...the initial drill looks simple and slow. I am sure I am wrong on this...but that is what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan9 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Not the snareline That "not so clean" snareline scored the highest of year last night with a 17.4 and have been consistently the highest score since day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlvalet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That "not so clean" snareline scored the highest of year last night with a 17.4 and have been consistently the highest score since day 1. Well, maybe they sound different when they're moving, but when they're standing still they have issues. I don't care what the score says. But like I mentioned earlier, they have a great drumline. But I know what I heard, and parts of their book the snareline has issues with at this point in time. Hell, in 1992, Madison Scouts line had A LOT of dirt in the beginning of the season. They sounded a mess. But by Preview of Champions, they were pretty freakin' good. Total 180. Of course, this is only one person's opinion. I invite you to stand in front of them yourself and report what you hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
