kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 As the corps is announced, the sounds of an ocean dock and narration about our heroine's journey to America begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The announcer had to move from the field to the booth to ensure his mic worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pit opens the show with a quick intro before the corps plays New World Symphony. Horn line has cleaned up their performance a lot since the start of the season. Trumpet soloist plays as the horns turn backfield, but is quickly joined by the horns again. Nice job by the baritone soloist, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 For having a horn line half the size of other corps while still having a full drum line, Pioneer manages to balance the sound between sections, not an easy job. Note that, when they made Semis back in '99 and 2000, the horn line was about the same size. As Yoda would say, size matters not. There are judges blinds on the field for guard changes. The blinds feature Americana images to go along with the show theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 GUard is on double white flags. Always a good way to add color to the field. I also like the seafoam and magenta dresses the guard is wearing. I do have a gripe: The narration distorts on the speakers, making it difficult to understand. I"m not sure I've paid attention to it at all other than to notice it was there. Percussion feature, right on the 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've got a couple staff members in front of me. Unfortnately, this is about the only spot they can stand up high without blocking paid ticket holders, of which I am not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Second percussion feature, this time during Reflections of Ireland. Actually, the distortion I heard from the speakers is happening with all sounds, not just the narration. Speaker might be blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
