BRASSO Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 did the Scouts seem a little flat to anyone else or was that just me? Bari soloist in beginning of ESOM fracked the solo twice, but the duet afterwards in it has improved, and this closer is an instant classic in my opinion.

bksnare84 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Don't care where they're placing...GREAT show Madison, and probably one of the season's hottest closers!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Smith Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I wrote this once before. The white sheet is pulled out by initially two members who are carrying 2 guard girls who are "dead". Then they all pull the sheet over the soloist as well as the guard dancers. It is to be a silhouette of figures to symbolize the death that has just happened. It is my understanding that they will be doing some work on the effect of this part of the ballad. And to the obnoxious statement made: get a life! Okay, I'm confused. Po wiz said it represented the barricade and you say it symbolizes death. Either way it's forced and confusing in my opinion. Just had to add my 2-cents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somerville Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The individual running around the field during an entire show has really gotten tiresome. Who ever made that up (years ago) should be hanged. I don't care about any deep meaning. It's just annoying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Flores Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Scouts... THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU!!!!!!! My eyes welled up and I had a lump in my throat. I may ball like a baby in Indy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somerville Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The "diva" that came up with pulling and holding hands thing needs to be banned from the activity. Yes, we have seen it 100 times and yes it is very powerful and dramatic (not), but please just stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's forced and confusing in my opinion. Just had to add my 2-cents As far as I'm concerned, it simply adds texture and contours that give the performers a stage which is a bit more artistic than a 45 yard line marker......no need to be confused, Granny....it's not that literal.

Granny Smith Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 First time seeing Madison...I liked it alot!!! I am just an average Joe watcher though. Much better Madison than years past WHAT!? Don't you know that average Joes aren't allowed to post on this forum? This is a place for people who understand the nuances and intricate details of drum corps. This is not a place for people like you to say you like a show just because you like it! What kind of reasoning is that!? C'mon moderators. Do your job and keep people like this away from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somerville Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I realize SCV's show is "dark" but can we get any "color" from the color guard? Perhaps a dark, but very mean, bright red? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
