dcpacheco Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 After attending the DCI Atlanta show, I find it truly ironic that with all the complexity of drum corps, the intricate drills, music, and colorguard, two of the loudest cheers during any corp's show were for Madison's "Fleur de Lis", and Carolina's "Crown" There must be a message there somehow.... Perhaps, "Less is More" ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought the Cavies were getting all the biggest applause, though. I saw that all over the place in the Murf and Atlanta threads. All of these people with different perceptions of what "the audience" loved the most.....which of you really speaks for "the audience"?

Tom Brace Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Cavies got the largest sustained applause for the evening. An agenda is emerging today. Hey, olde timers...even DCA corps use amps now. I can't wait until one of them says, "You kids get off my lawn." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your providing us your first hand experience as one who was in attendance last night in Atlanta. From watching the competition live on Fan Network, it appeared that the Madison Scouts did get one of the best ovations of the evening in conclusion of their show. There were some apparent good " wow "moments with a few other Corps as well, including the Cavs rifle- pushups portion of show accompanied by the trumpet screamers at the end.. there were a few other " wow " moments as well. But Drum Corps shows could use quite a bit more, imo. Edited August 1, 2010 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 could crown just play any old thing and still get the same reaction by making a crown? if not, wouldn't that mean music has something to do with the crowd reaction along with the form...just maybe?

Hey, olde timers...even DCA corps use amps now. I can't wait until one of them says, "You kids get off my lawn." As their hearing diminishes, many will come to appreciate the mic'ed soloists, imo. Kudos to the Bluecoats for an effective use of the microphone for the audio transmission of the solo to this poster. I don't speak for others here. But this unobtrusive use of the microphone for the audio transmission increased volume of solos is an ok change in my book.

I bet you a nickle that if Trooper's did a wonderfully marched sunburst playing whole note chords, they'd get a great crowd reaction. As much as I'm a "music" honk, instead of a "visual" honk, some things transcends boundaries...tradition is tradition, and a good tradition performed well is going to get a great response.

From where I was sitting, it certainly seemed the Cavies got the longest sustained applause of the night. But, like you said, it's funny how two different people at the same show can walk away with different perceptions on who "the audience loved" most, heh.
