DrillmanSop06 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Teal Sound, hands down, was the most innovative musical unit last year in DCI, imo. I give this Band credit for the decision to use guitarists with rock guitars in their on field performance last year. No other DCI unit on the field last year in World Class competition so completely crossed over into the realm that is indisputably the Band world, than did Teal Sound. I agree with you that once a unit crosses that threshold, there's probably no turning back for them. I also agree with you that this Band will probably do other things that will be exciting this year too. :thumbdown: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their use of electronics isn't to everyones taste I grant you but wouldn't DCI be a very boring place if every corps did the same thing. They have the staff, I'm told they have the numbers so only time will tell if the direction they're heading in is one that will take them up the rankings. I think it will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I see Crossmen and Colts locked in a battle for finals. I think it's Glassmen's year to sit out Saturday night. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDYL krnbasslst Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Definitely Crossmen. This corps is known for it's unique swag and vibe, their "groove" if you will. And it's coming back, more than ever, through their 2011 show. I'm so excited to see how they do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) DCI have allowed the use of electronics which makes what Teal Sound do very much Drum Corps. Their use of electronics isn't to everyones taste I grant you but wouldn't DCI be a very boring place if every corps did the same thing. They have the staff, I'm told they have the numbers so only time will tell if the direction they're heading in is one that will take them up the rankings. I think it will. Perhaps my comments were misunderstood. I said " they are the most innovative unit in DCI". This makes them " different ". I did not call for units to " all be the same ". That would in fact be " boring " in my opinion. It's also pretty clear they don't do" the same thing" as others. I do believe that they are a" band." I don't use that phrase as a pjorative, nor did I criticize them for being a " band ". I liked them last year as a matter of fact. I just used the phrase "a band " as a form of accuracy. They use a combo drum set, and a rock guitarist playing a rock guitar. There is noone that is not honest that would not recognize that such a unit as NOT being a " Band ", (as this is what some " Bands have ")..... Look, I mean no disrespect to the Teal Sound Band at all. Seriously. As far as Bands go, they are much closer to the conventional Drum and Bugle Corps than some other Bands out there. But surely, one must see that any unit that has drum set combo performers and guitars out front with brass marchers doing skits complementing the unit behind, that this is in fact a " band ". What's wrong with accuracy, where there was no attempt by me at all to disparage the Teal Sound Band, when in fact I complemented them on their uniqueness and innovativeness ?
