Popular Post Lance Posted July 17, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2011 Lots of corps had days off to do some cleaning and clarifying. This thread is for talking about how your perception of some shows might have changed after viewing them tonight (hopefully POSITIVE!!!!!!!) Carolina Crown: I had only seen this at the theater showing in TX at the beginning of the year. I didn't think that I'd ever really buy into it. Tonight made me change my mind. Throw around the "cheese" comments all you want, but this show just works. The brass is already fantastic. And I think they're doing a much better job of selling the transitions between "Rach" and "Rock". Klesch is a genius. Blue Devils: Typically, I'm a BD honk. But when I first saw this show, I thought it would be a pretentious mess visually, with some very nice musical moments. I'm still not a huge fan of all of the stuff all over the field, but it's coming across so much better now musically and visually than I ever thought it would. LOVE how they're stretching out some of the big lush moments with the brass. The more they do that, the better, IMO. And instead of the visual becoming all about the stuff on the field, I really think it's being used a lot less obtrusively now that the performance level is getting up there. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyWonder1911 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 My revelations - 1)I never took Phantom's show seriously. I haven't seen them since Texas, and I didn't get a chance to watch them last night because I had to take a nap before the drive, but seeing them in 5th now makes me think maybe this show isn't as flat as I and some others thought it was. Then I thought, well maybe they are just executing it well...and then I go and see their visual scores are abhorrent. I guess the colorguard and GE are keeping them afloat! It will be interesting to see how this corps plays out from now until Finals. I still think they will drop. I see them switching places with SCV. 2)With SCV, it is the total opposite. I took this show seriously from the start, when a lot of people said it was crap. Good percussion scores, bad brass scores, visual scores were better than I thought they'd be right now though. They looked a little rough in Metamora last week. Good colorguard, too. I still believe in this show, and I think if they can get the storyline sorted out and are able to get it across other than having brass players run around the field like they were lost, then maybe their GE scores will start to catch up? I still believe in this show, and think that with improvement to the structure of the show and if the brass get their a**es together, they should move up. 3)Cadets, BD and Crown are so close in score, it wouldn't be fair to either 3 of them to say one is better than the other at this point. Only revelation is that at this moment, Crown is in contention for a medal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylogan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I did not get a good read of the Bluecoats at the beginning from theater distractions. Right now, they are rising in my favorites list. I love all their music and the lower brass is just kickin' it! I would rank them much higher than 6th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
