kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There are now some buoys on the field as well as judges' blinds with aquatic images. I also love that I now know that the guard starts out looking like a net cast into the sea to start the show. Great imagery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great backfield playing by horns and drums after the pit opens the show. The Blue in Blue World really comes across. Corps turns front and SOUND! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Love the flags! An appropriate seafoam color and look, almost like waves on the ocean themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Excellent build in sound while slowing the tempo as the corps hits the end of the opening statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Trumpet line is like biting on tinfoil, and I mean that in a good way. I'm very happy with the music performance of the Blue Stars this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Interesting that some of the male rifles are wearing white Navy caps while others have blue knit sailor caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Second movement of the show, horns playing back field. Great sound. Nice addition as the horns stand still - they reach forward with one hand and wave it, creating a wave motion from left to right in the form.

kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Man, horns are really pushing air through their instruments tonight when the volume calls for it. Great projection while still exhibiting dynamic contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Drums back in after the ballad. Nice accelerando by the corps while playing the familiar New World theme. Ever since Cesario pointed out it's so similar to the Jaws theme, though, I can't hear it any other way. Thanks, Michael! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
