CloudHype Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The guard is ALWAYS in the right place at the right time to create amazing effect. He makes is look effortless. No one else in DCI is even close. Cough...Jay Murphy ... Cough Between them two, it makes me want to give up writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musclebud Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Of BD's so-called prop shows I do like this year the best. Did they seem just a little off tonight? Saw some unusual spacing issues and heard trumpets sticking out a little. Edited August 13, 2011 by musclebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapperpoet Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yup, it's happened to me several times tonight. Almost got the remote throughout the tv. ARGH. I'm better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Glasgow BB Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 nice standing O for Devils, good to see! I love the 50/50 colour scheme of the guard uniforms, they use them to great effect. Props get in the way until the end. However, at the end they work very well. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otowndrumin Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have a theory about the visual program. I'm sure no one in the know would ever admit to it either. I think the lack of visual movement is probably a product of Wayne Downey not wanting to have the visual affect their chances at a brass title. That might sound like a really rotten statement, but hear me out. I'm sure David Gibbs could hire anyone he wants to write the drill. The fact is, they've had success with this visual formula. NO ONE CAN REFUTE THAT. Now why would they go a changin when they have no reason to? They know more movement or more advanced staging of the instruments would only affect their block style sound ... they know it would affect the tone quality etc etc etc. So again .. why would they change? Does it mean BD doesn't care about the fans? Who knows. I have my hangups with them for sure .. but at least they're playing some stuff I can enjoy on my iPod for the first time in many seasons.... many many seasons. BD has always been behind the times from a drill standpoint. I don't see it changing unless Gibbs/Downey/ScoJo are all in agreement. Even then, they should give their current drill designer a shot to write something "Out of the BD Box". Late 90s early 2000s saw some good drill from the Devs... also not as many titles for them too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
