DrinkinOuttaCups Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Do you think it might be possible to turn this thread back into a discussion about the San Antonio show and the corps who will be performing tonight? Can do! GO SPIRIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttrevan Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I disagree. I was there and I was cheering because PR won and BD lost...sorry. I am not ashamed for feeling that way either. If I'm to be honest, me too. It's not that I rooted for BD to lose, but I did root for them to NOT win. And I'm not ashamed of that either. I didn't think they deserved it in 2008. I didn't think they deserved it in 2009. And I won't think they deserve it in 2010. I was a big fan of "Winged Victory" and past BD shows, but I am not a fan of their current chop-shop style (stealing someone else's description.

Pinwiz Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Why is this crap always being said? This weak assumption that a corps loses (in this case BD) lost because they "Coasted" is just ridiculous.They worked as hard as they could, and performed to their ability that night. The result is the based on a that evenings panels opinion. Are you telling me that if BD rehearsed any differently that day that the result would have changed? That result was happening either way. An extra 5 hours of rehearsal would have changed nothing. Phantom put an entire new ending onto the field, one that rocked the audience and sent their GE scores through the roof. BD countered with... an extra chord progression and a running drum major. That is my definition of Coasting. BD writes a great show and locks it into place, allowing other corps to come up with last-minute additions that enable them to defeat them. It has nothing to do with rehearsal time, it has to do with an unwillingness to make last-minute drastic changes. (To be fair, most corps don't have the guts to do a radical update Finals week anymore.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigboyblue1122 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Genesis. Nice on field warm up. Small guard, but understandable for their first year in comp. Pretty agressive opening. Percussion seems to be the strong point.some cool soloists and brass hits in the ballad. Visual seems to be their weakness but pretty cool jazz show.

corpsband Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) You'd think that to make up for the scheduling snafu with the Alamodome that DCI Southwestern could at least manage a surprise webcast Edited July 25, 2010 by corpsband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
