BRASSO Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Actually they did compete against each other last week. Madison was 3.0 behind Crown and tonight they were 2.7 behind. Your point still holds though. Comparing different Corps at different shows is meaningless. But that being said, I'm still very encouraged for the Scouts. Last year at their first meeting against Crown, they were 6.4 points behind them. Much closer this year so far! Madison did compete against Crown before tonite. You're right, my bad. Forgot about that one. Madison Scouts are doing well so far this year, and the show is entertaining. Good for Madison. Onward and upward.

BRASSO Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 There is no doubt that the Scouts are for real this year. I really enjoyed their show. Reminded me of the early 90's. They did finish about where I figured they would be to Crown, but they have a good chance of closing in on some of the heavy hitters at the top in the coming weeks IMO. Did you go, Liahona ? If so, give us your thoughts on the Corps in the show, however so brief, if you're so inclined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Yep--wife says this was a baseball field. Said it looked a little "funny". I once marched over an elevated baseball diamond in some gawdforsaken place, and thought I would swallow my mouthpiece when I hit the pitchers mound. 'Also marched on a field surrounded by horses, cows, pigs and chickens, etc.. and smelled something " a little funny " for a week. Wasn't so funny at the time though.

CrownBariDad Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Cavies break 80 -- 80.3 at Mankato (according to CorpsScores). Crown is less than a point behind. Congrats to ALL the Corps tonight! Can't wait until Atlanta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Did you go, Liahona ? If so, give us your thoughts on the Corps in the show, however so brief, if you're so inclined. Thanks BRASSO for wanting to hear my opinion on the corps, but I've learned to keep my mouth shut on certain things and be a little more generic in my responses. I'll just keep my comments as I stated them previously for now. Seems anytime I've responded in the positive towards any corps (from a show I attended) other people from other corps like jump down my throat and report inaccuracies even if they were not even there. I really don't want to stress about it tonight...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Good job tonight, Scouts. Always improving. Momentum is a great thing to have on your side! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Also interesting that Scouts didn't drop with Crown there. They still bumped another .80. Up almost 8 points in 8 days and about 12 from their score at finals last year. Not that it matters, but it's awesome seeing them being competitive AND pleasing the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitchgod Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was at the show tonight, So I'll weigh in with some comments. The field is a baseball field, but they use the outfield so no one marched over the pitchers mound. It did seem slick though, footing seemed to be a problem. I had never seen the 7thRegiment before. I was impressed, the drum line was very good. For some reason my son fell in lovewith Jersey Surf last year ( probably the surf board at the souvie stand ). Liked their show, the first half seemed better than the second. Spirit was next, the show was very good, with room to grow. Really nice brass sound, Harlem Nocturn was one of the crowd favorites tonight. What to say about the Crossmen? First of all I love their show, I believe that the warmup was from Twin Peaks which I posted I wanted to hear a corps perform in a different thread. The flashbacks to 90 and 9 weregreat, and Hallejua gave me goosebumps. I think the placement was right, was dissapointed in the gap between them and Spirit. Madison was first on after Int, have not seen them in many years but they are back. The sound was unbelievable, brass and percussion were both on tonight. They are back , and dangerous, and were probably the crowd favorite for most people over 45. Boston ( my daughters favorite corps ) was next. After reading the program this was the show I was most looking foreward to. I am a huge Les Mis fan. The corps sounded great, I loved the music and thought that they performed it well, but something just left me flat. I think that there is a great show in there somewhere but it might need some tweaking to find it. Carolina finished the show, the preshow was great. I was worried about how the music would play out in this form but I have to say it worked. My daughter even liked them better than Boston tonight, and that is saying something. The shift from Queen to the Piano Concerto was awesome. They deserved the win tonight. As a last note, thanks to all of the performers and staff. This was the most entertaining show I have seen in Glens Falls in quite a few years. Hope the corps stay with this type of music selection 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
