skywhopper Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Elsa's just reduced me to tears (except for the cut time in the last 8 bars or so - should have bled it at 80 bpm right to the end! Elsa didn't run up to the alter...) Based on some illicit video I was forced to watch of a recent rehearsal, I think they have fixed this. The tempo stays the same. No double-time at the end. Woo!

thirdcoast Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The 2 uniforms for The Cadets is way cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckdan Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The "Infinity Chord" for the Troopers is one of the highlights for the entire Drum Corps season! Troopers addition of the yellow to the front and the gauntlets really improved their visual appearance. (I know, that's two!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke S. Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I can't get "Do you hear the people sing?" Out of my head, and that's coming from a Scouts fan. Thanks BAC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like how much Phantom is pushing for the top 5 this year... I hope they keep it up! In fact ALL the corps this year have something to offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Phantom won me over musically tonight. Cannot wait to hear this book live. Bluecoats quadraphonic segment is genius, and reminds me a little bit of Crown's full-field spreads in 2010, but even tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 I love how Crown unapologetically hits the audience over the head with their show concept. I'm a big believer in making it instantly clear what the show is about. The new ending really acts as a bookmarks to where the pre-show begins now, too. Yes, I know people talk about cheese and all of that, but it simply works for this show. And one of the only captions I agree with for any corps 100% is their winning brass tonight. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPinCAL Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The Mandarins continue to have a VERY demanding show, year in-year out- 2011 is no exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
