skajerk Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Phantom BLEW me away tonight!!! Elsa's was just on fire. I don't know what the response was up top, but on the lower level they were already standing before the last chord ended. Best crowd reaction from the whole night. I Loved Crown and Bluecoats as well! Here's how I did the crowd voting 1. Phantom (See above. Easily my favorite show) 2. Crown (Cheesy? Maybe? But melt all of it you can and pour it all over me a la Cesario) 3. Cadets (Still hoping they get rid of the pink but I still love this show) 4. Bluecoats (They had me at "Creep") 5. Cavies (I liked it and there were quite a few "wow" moments, but that's about it). 6. SCV ( I really like this show. Yeah, it's not fan friendly and it's not my favorite of the year but I am coming away humming parts of the show.) 7. BD (I loved this show a month ago when I saw them in Clovis. Tonight? I don't what it was. Didn't like it at all!) 8. Blue Stars (Was still trying to get to our seats so can't give a fair analysis) Remember, these are just MY opinions.

Jeff Ream Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Geez, you and I are thinking the same thing. it's happened before. it's a great effect...but the guard sheet as I understand it really isn't about effect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Congrats to Phantom's Color Guard. Last time they won Color Guard at DCI was 1988. Perhaps, they could win it this year! Probably the "most improved" in any category this year goes to Phantom's Guard. and here we heard all winter that going all female would kill them. yet they've won guard a few times this summer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUARDLING Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 could the cadets drum solo stuff where the horns pick up the poles be hurting the guard scores? it could IF not done well by all...its all guard at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I didn't see tonight show, but on the Minnesota feed I could tell it wasn';t clean. So that's my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 SCV Pht. of the Opera years...thats who they remind me of..........crazy clean I will give them that i had the same thought. Remember all the hand wringing by many in here? Oh no, going all female? they're doomed. What did many of us say...if it fits the show...and it does...and they're being rewarded for it. and i get 2 red marks for throwing that in their faces./...proof the DCP red/green contest is hysterically stupid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
