wastelander Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Madison, definitely, and not just because of their hike in the rankings, but also because of their reverting to a more enjoyable type of show. With any luck, they will have started a move to the type of performance that is fan-friendly, and at the same time makes use of the current great drill and guard work, and the high level of musical execution that has become the standard in drum corps.

Exactly. Drum Corps doesn't have to be all artsy fartsy, In fact it really shouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hill Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Some appreciation for the just-about-almost bursting into Semis of Pacific Crest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's really not close. Madison = most improved. This. I was hoping for a bigger jump up to 9th, but it is pretty amazing what the Scouts accomplished this year considering that there were so many great Corps around them that they had to get past to make that leap!

wesleyrp Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think Madison is hands down the most improved of the year!! Others that have made major improvements- Pacific Crest Spirit Cascades Cavaliers Bluecoats Phantom Blue Stars Blue Knights A lot of corps improved this season some improvements reflected in the scores, others in the product or the quality!!

momto3 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Exactly. Drum Corps doesn't have to be all artsy fartsy, In fact it really shouldn't be. Keep in mind that some folks find "fan-friendly" can equal "cheezy". And "artsy fartsy" can equal "brilliantly entertaining." I loved the Madison show, but I enjoyed other shows that were a bit more "complex" even more. And I didn't enjoy the cheese factor in the Cadets' show. Drum corps is doing a good job of having "different strokes." I hope they keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Top 5-The Cavaliers Overall to get into finals... Madison Scouts (of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 This has to be the biggest no brainer ever. Madison Scouts clearly were more improved than any other corps in DCI from 09-10. The midwestern corps are going to be hella competitive with each other in 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
