dcikon2 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Not this year's show. I have seen them 3 times live and dislike the show more with each viewing. However, you cannot discount that they are a great corps. Why can't they go back to playing music that is recognizable instead of chopping it up so much?

jaylogan Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I love absurdity, but not the Finals version. There was an APD earlier in the year that I use as the replacement for the Finals version on my iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I really liked BD 2008. "Fun" isn't an adjective that I usually associate with BD, but they definitely were fun in 2008. It worked for me both at the level of what the individual performers were doing, and in terms of the overall composition. I don't care for 2007, 2009 or 2010. I didn't stay for the victory runs in 2007 or 2009, and I doubt I will this year. Technically excellent, no doubt, but not shows I found very engaging.

Todd Tanji Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 2007 is the most coherent and complete artistic statement I've seen in drum corps ... ... until this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Personally, I'm partial to the Blue Devils shows of the 1980s (long live T.O.!); but in the spirit of this thread, I would most definitely have to go with Winged Victory. I actually liked that show. Currently, the Blue Devils are just a WGI music ensemble filled with some of the best and most talented members in DCI blasting out power chords and the occasional jazz chord while wearing semi-skirts (take those things off! What in the bloody h**l are you all trying to hide! Plus, they just look bad!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebirdy Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I think its really strange that more people like CRA than 1930 People complained left and right all year about them. Then, the lost, and now people like the show. 1930 went undefeated, and hardly anyone likes it. On topic: my ranking 1. 1930 2. Through a Glass, Darkly 3. CRA 4. Winged Victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 1. CRA 2. WV 3. 1930 Haven't seen this year's show live yet so no real comment. 2006 would be above all these shows. 2000 would have been above 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
