c.l. Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 This actually isn't completely true, SCV '08 asked for audience participation with the snaps, claps, etc. during Cloudburst. I imagine it was confusing then to find your designated guard person (ha), but this looks a little more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think it's clever way to raise a little money and give the audience a little fun. Kudos! BTW, cheese is delicious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onceuponatime Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Very clever. I also think that if they can manage to get the crowd participation they're looking for, it will help all the corps. Nothing beats a happy audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Will there be an airplane flying overhead? Sorry wrong corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bersurkman Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 No airplane, but I do think they may have put in a request for a goose fly-by at Allentown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doylejd Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 WGI Percussion groups have been experimenting with this for the past few seasons, and I was wondering when we would see it crossover. At any rate, this looks like a really fun way to get the crowd excited about drum corps. Kudos to Surf for thinking outside the box! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schickmeister Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Really loving how JSurf is doing things outside the box without being completely ridiculous with it. (That's a compliment, for those of you playing at home.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim K Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Years ago I would never have imagined that I'd miss the Bridgemen, but I do. I also never would have expected that a show I cannot wait to see would be a tribute to the Bridgemen. Times do change! The Bridgemen would have loved the gimmick Jersey Surf is planning. Bridgemen fed off of audience enthusiasm. I can remember quite a few times when the Bridgemen started off somewhat tepidly but improved steadily as the audience responded. These would have been early season shows, and they tested as to what would and would not work with the audience. Sure, their shows had many worthy qualities, they were excellent musicians, but a huge part of the Bridgemen experience was audience involvement. So if Jersey Surf wants to pay tribute to the Bridgemen, involving the audience not just a great idea, it's essential. Besides, it looks like it will be fun.

Should be a lot of fun performing it in Bayonne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
