MikeN Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I only have the DVD's to use for reference, but from a fan perspective, the field / stadium looks awesome, and provided a *great* backdrop for the groups. (And yes, this does make a difference. See Bowl, Citrus for reference.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe712002 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It's a her : ) Great review for Santa Clara! Yes, just to reiterate, your "Brass Balls" award goes to female mello soloist, Erin Holtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes, just to reiterate, your "Brass Balls" award goes to female mello soloist, Erin Holtz. Ah, gotcha. Those anatomical features ARE kinda hard to make out from 100 rows up. But she still gets an honorary set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thank you! Although idk about this 'improvisation on the field' you speak of... sounds like a slippery slope. It's not like something weird is happening every night. More like, when something unexpected DOES happen, he's able to make it seem like it BELONGS in the show- and THAT is the mark of a great actor. For instance, first time I saw the show in Cedarburg, he dropped one of his feature tosses and sold it perfectly to make it seem like he was supposed to do so, and was totally believable in the process.

gimpy Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 You had nice seats! Was that in the 300 level? I was off by the 30 in section 307. Still pretty good vantage point, but the sound had a little trouble reaching me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pretty good vantage point, but the sound had a little trouble reaching me. I was in 500 level, aka "Bring your own oxygen tank" And apparently my camera is actually a spy satellite in disguise. I was VERY impressed with the level of detail I was able to get from so far up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFuel Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Excellent review. Very nice read...especially this part:"Speaking of Invesco Field, that is without a doubt the best venue for drum corps I've ever been to in my entire life! I say DCI should forget Indy and have finals out here more often!" Finals in 2004 was and is beyond compare. Marching there was AWESOME, looking up and seeing the stands extending forever was such an amazing feeling.. :) I'm all for finals there every year! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if those two stadiums were on a ballot to choose where I would want finals I'm picking Lucas Stadium. But my personal favorite venue for drum corps is Camp Randall, Madison Wisconsin.
