kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Love the flags, horizontal stripes going from pink at the top to purple at the bottom with silver lame stripes in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 One of the guard members is now in a uniform of all gray shades. He's been converted, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Horn sextet up front, playing what I guess is music from Twilight, but, since I won't touch that abomination with a 10 foot pole, I couldn't tell you for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Drum line is pretty strong this year, even during the lighter moments they play some great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Speaking of the drum line, it's time for their solo. Seriously, how does anybody think 80s synth sounds good in the 21st century? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Horns could be playing the synth part and blend better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So far, the music isn't as interesting to me as in other shows. It's played well, but there's nothing really in it that draws me in. It's very much movie incidental music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I will also say that this show is very Spartans. I'd recognize the corps by ear if I wasn't looking. That's one thing I love about this corps: They have an identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Next on the field are the Oregon Crusaders from Portland, Oregon. Their 2011 program is entitled "The Blue Hour" and consists of: Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, Ludwig VonBeethoven, Ludwig Von Blue Shades by Ticheli, Frank A Hymn to a Blue Hour by Mackey, John Variciones Concertantes, Op. 23 by Ginastera, Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Corps just set up a giant blue circular tarp on the field and has now walked across it to remove any kinks, kind of like the field crew at a baseball game when the rain arrives.
