bucsbassdrum9703 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 While i cannot write much of a review since i was performing with the Buccaneer Alumni, This is what i can tell you about. I saw one corps tonight and that was the 2012 Buccaneers competing corps..My first thought was look at those drums..being a drummer of course.. the new drums this year have a blue finish on the upper shell that fades to black to the bottom..very nice. The Corps was for the most part full tonight with a few here and there missing. Every song was great and provided great power and dynamics. The drumline is going to be another great one its new and fresh and the arranging is some of the best i've seen in a dca corps. i loved the ballad as i think will most people will this summer. but the closer. 1812 wow its just wow. i think what the Buccaneers are doing with this years so is going to set another new bench mark for other corps to try to reach. personally with all the championships they have won in the past 7 years...this may be my favorite show out of all of them..i hope someone can come on here and give a better review..these are just my thoughts of what i saw just a few hours ago. i hope everyone is ready to enjoy this DCA season.

BigW Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'll get a review in ASAP. I need some rest myself and am visiting a friend today to relax. It was a great event all around, and yes, the Bucs were absolutely on fire and on top of their game. More later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my sidestage perspective... admittedly a limited one... it was a good show all around. From sidestage/backstage, I pretty much got to see/hear only the Bucs' battery on stage... and they were excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear God, they sent a pretty clear message to everyone when they were on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrassMan09 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How was Fusion? Do they have good numbers? How was Reading's show? Are they real? With all the staff changes, wondering how they are going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike McMullen Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 How was Fusion? Do they have good numbers? How was Reading's show? Are they real? With all the staff changes, wondering how they are going to be? Let's just say the Bucs are alive and doing very well. Can't wait for Wildwood. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
