barigirl78 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 As we prepare for the other half of the corps to take the field tonight, I have a question for those who were there. In Houston, there was an obnoxious shadow that fell on the field for the corps that came on before sunset. You can see it on the VOD's. I don't know how it was in person, but it made it harder to watch these corps. Was there a similar problem in Dallas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shadow that I was aware of.......I was really impressed with how well the stadium made all corps sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Highlands Stadium is oriented almost north-south, with the press box side on the west, and the stadium is not nearly as tall as it looks like Houston's is. So I think "sun in the eyes" would likely be more of a problem than "obnoxious shadows", if there were any problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero14 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 anybody- when's the last time the bluecoats were this close to SCV this year (after the first show of course)? Seems like it's been getting closer and closer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero14 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) actually- found my answer- thanks BK's website! Margin of victory on the far right 6/24/2009 Glendale, AZ 74.600 76.300 Santa Clara Vanguard 1.700 6/26/2009 Clovis, CA 76.000 77.400 Santa Clara Vanguard 1.400 6/27/2009 Stanford, CA 76.200 78.400 Santa Clara Vanguard 2.200 6/28/2009 Stockton, CA 77.450 79.750 Santa Clara Vanguard 2.300 7/8/2009 Ogden, UT 83.100 84.900 Santa Clara Vanguard 1.800 7/11/2009 Denver, CO 84.000 85.500 Santa Clara Vanguard 1.500 7/16/2009 Dallas, TX 85.450 86.350 Santa Clara Vanguard 0.900 I'm not expert on anything- but that is 4 CONSECUTIVE head-to-head scores where the gap has gotten smaller... would someone like to argue that this is not a significant finding?

"Visual ensemble" is judged from the stands from an audience POV. If the VOD's are true to the audience experience, what they saw is corps marching in and out of shadows and those shadows sometimes hiding what was being communicated.
