supersop Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 For the record .. I'm in nicey nice mode today ... at least until the top 6 come on .. then my standards go way up and I might sound chippy. Forewarning ... if you read my posts later with the wrong tone .. you'll think I'm screaming .. which I never do Enjoying the entire show from everyone so far. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersop Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm hoping Cascades have sured up their brass section since the last time I saw them. Get it!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Very strong showing from mandarins. Much improved over my last viewing in Sacramento. Don't know of they'll move up or not though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Next on the field are the Cascades from Seattle, Washington. Their 2012 program is entitled "Shinto" and consists of: Selections by John Mackey by Mackey, John Selections by Hans Zimmer by Zimmer, Hans Selections by John Powell by Powell, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I still wish the battery and brass were dressed like the pit. That would be AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockEuph Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Mandarins were a pleasant surprise. Good to see that energy from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just noticed the pit is in different uniforms from the rest of the corps. I also noticed, again, that Cascades are using music from Kung Fu Panda, a movie which takes place in CHINA, and has nothing to do with the Shinto faith. C'mon, design team, you can do better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Second performance of Kingfishers Catch Fire by a corps wearing green today. Must be a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
