jasgre2000 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Dont know if it is possible, given how hard the rest of the show is, but BK's show could use a lot more movement and energy at the end. The end of Firebird is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Flores Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 This show has come a long way from when I saw them in Mesa. Even so I am still going to go listen to Cavies 97 to clear my thoughts.... El oucho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchandPlay Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I think I like this years Cavies show more now.... Edited July 15, 2012 by MarchandPlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musclebud Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 That solo was obviously micced. I see no reason for that, especially when the equipment fails like it just did. Now we have a perfect example of the problem with mic'd soloist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoContraAlum Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So Sully has gone all-in with Blue teams? (He does Blue Stars drill too, right?) So odd, considering his pedigree! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobrien Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I am still going to go listen to Cavies 97 to clear my thoughts.... Or '85 Cavaliers. Or the re-entry from '74 Kingsmen, still the best use of the Firebird finale, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Interesting show by BK. Some of it I find absolutely brilliant! They are solid performers in all areas. Love the guard unis and the flags. I really think the contrast is perfect. The music is cool. The theramin effect is neat, and other effects are well done, but the overuse of the piped-in music at the intro of the show could probably be played by some of the horns for better effect and realism. The drill is really off-the-charts good at times. Edited July 15, 2012 by jwillis35 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think the actual problem isn't that it's included. I think it's simply that Malaguena is far too recognizable of a tune. Honestly I don't even think half the people listening to that Malaguena section actually know that the Promenade melody is played incredibly loud by half the corps following the sops first entrance. The point of the show is that famous melodies are woven in-between Pictures. Even though I agree that it sounds a bit odd, it does make sense to me structurally. Edit: HAH I accidentally a link. I would think that WAAAYYYY more people are familiar with the promenade melody than Malaguena. Pictures is one of the most famous pieces of music of all time.
