Cop Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) In SCV's opener when the rifles and sabres toss after each count on different points of the field, very reminiscent to their WGI show this year. Also the running back in forth and dancing in the ballad. SCV WGI staff is Scouts guard staff.

lindap Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 SCV WGI staff is Scouts guard staff. (drill and equipment) Brenda and I went for coffee at a hotel in Indy 2010. I stood in line with Denise. That was a great moment. I taught Ventures guard in 1975, also a great moment and I appreciated the opportunity immensely. There were many great moments during the 20 years I spent spinning. I personally like melodic with punctuation in summer and expression with creativity in winter. That's just me! ...um...imo ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywords Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Herbert's throws a 10 halfway through Crown's show then throws the rifle off of the back sideline! Love that moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardguy89 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Here's a couple I like: Crown's flag feature bottom right of the field during Paint it Black Cavies - pretty much anything they do on rifle - but there's one part in the opener when they toss from the butt of the rifle and catch it with one hand on a silent part of the music that is incredible Phantom - the first big hit when the guard comes together in the middle of the field - that is a very tasty dance moment Cadets - the Angel flag work in Amazing Grace is awesome Vanguard - the closer flag work - once they start spinning on the ground until the end Blue Stars - the flag work is insane !

Rubiks6Side Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think that a great guard moment that should be mentioned as well is the foil flags Glassmen has. They add a sound and reflective texture that is cool and helps that portion of the show transition. All the others I have read are great too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emc2 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I was a brass player, and I never find myself paying direct attention to the guard during shows. So while I do love to see truly impressive guard work, it often takes several viewings of a show before I notice anything but the most in-your-face examples. I know there are some great moments out there that I'm missing, along with others with my same blind spot. So before the season ends, I wanted to know what everyone's favorite guard moments are this season, so we can look for them in the remaining shows of the year. A couple that I *have* noticed so far: Blue Devils when the brass is in a block doing criss-cross tank tread something or other, with the white posts in front of them, and the rifles line up in front and do this perfectly timed wave from right to left with precisely even height and spectacular timing. It's incredible to me they can pull that off so well. Cavies always do a mass flag throw, but I really like the one this year with the guard spreading the field and suddenly criss-crossing flags through the air in every direction. So what are your favorites this year? Boston guard is electrifying most underrated this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Awesome! Thanks for all the ideas. I'll be looking for these things as I watch the Atlanta VODs as soon as they're posted and maybe I can get used to catching some of them by the Quarterfinals cinecast! Keep em coming!

mondocane1970 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Bostons guard without a doubt at the opening move flags are on fire. Also Bostons guard uniforms are one of the better ones this year.

bearwy Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Blue Devils spin and move with a maturity that is seldom seen in drumcorps. The level of poise with epuipment is spot on. I have always enjoyed watching them perform for many years. This year is really a special one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
