JoeDz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 amen. as someone who writes reviews, gets some praise and some hate mail, i just say ignore the critics. and again, great review Well said, Jeff. I've read some of your great reviews and some of the responses cause me to shake my head as you get accused of (supporting/opposing) "their" corps, just because. Understand, Jeff and Tony, that we need these objective reviews as they fill a very definite purpose, that of putting us in the seats mentally. Thanks for what you do.

HBD Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Great review......this reviewer really nailed it. Some quick thoughts: I couldn't believe how prepared the Buccaneers were. All sections were strong, confident and sold the show. I'm curious to see how the Cadets 2 will fare against this show. (Felt strange to write that). :-) For June, the Cabs were very well prepared , just not as prepared as the Buccs. This would have been a running start for a Championship year for the Cabs during any other era, but the Bucs are really pushing the "readiness" level for corps. The Cab show is true to their entertainment tradition so it's just a matter of how well they can clean and tweak it. They were my wife's favorite. That said, I think the Cabs are still in the game to grab the title. It's just a matter of how hungry they are and how much ground they can catch up on. Fusion's brass were hot and entertaining with great feet and body.....but I don't remember the drill being too demanding. Their brass line certainly could certainly make a run for a brass trophy. Gold and Fusion were great examples of smaller corps with good quality programs and well rounded ensembles/sections but because Gold's guard was so good, I had them slightly over Fusion. I know how much talent and experience there is in Windsor Regiment, so I was surprised how weak the show was. Perhaps the show is over ambitious and/or is written for September. They have a lot on their plate to get this show up and running but the members and staff have a lot of drum corps experience so I'm sure they will be working hard and adapting and it will be a lot different show in September. WOW, Another great review!! Thank you Bob, I really enjoyed reading your review!!! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kidd Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Both reviews - hi Bob! - made me feel like I was there. Keen insights about all the corps. Lots of time - let's see how these shows progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
