charlie1223 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) The seasons almost over! :( and it's about time to think about what some of our favorite moments or nuances were from the shows that took us by surprise, wowed us, or thought were just cool, different and awesome! Some of mine: -Cadets company front (the first one after the singing) and the soloist! -Crown throwing their horns in the air and the rotating cube drill and the bassdrums perfectly timed all over the field! -BD (cant believe I'm saying it!) but the end of the Danny Elfman tune where they are in triangle was the best moment of their show! There are many more! What are yours? Edited August 7, 2012 by charlie1223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubaJon Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Scouts, the spinning company front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catan Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 BD's slow build and dissonant chords at the end of Bird and Bela (with the entire corps backing away from the front of the field ominously before bursting out and spreading all over the field) Phantom's guard uniform reveal in the closer Boston's high brass sustain at the end of the ballad BK's first drill sequence where they gradually form the spaceship - best drill move in DCI this year SCV's down ending Glassmen - end of the opener (just really exciting arranging) Spirit - trumpet solos Bloo - ballad(s) - best in DCI this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevils92 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Crown: When they hit dreams in the spiral Bd: When they play the song from "The Artist" Spirit: ALL OF SPIRIT! Phantom Regiment: The aggressiveness in the opening. Very chilling Boston: Pines of Rome Cadets: The closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDUB Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Bd--opening (so ######) Crown--last fanfare motif (high register) Cadets--silent drill with the silver flags in opener PR--nessun dorma from last bit of solo (bass drum triplets) to end SCV--very end with SCV logo, cymbal line, and portrait in guard flags (very classy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phan771 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 BD: Danny Elfman moment, Satie moment, being challenged to catch it all Crown: Fanfare PR: Intro and Nessun, coloruard, drill musicality Boston: Preshow Spirit: Oh the sophisticated and accessible variety Crossmen: Clear identity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishbonecav Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Oregon Crusaders....Appalachian Spring, through bass drum feature (ridiculous) and fast ending with the call-outs to Garfield, BD and Cavies...with 64 horns ...leap from your seat, hair on the neck, fist pumping type stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THeShadeOfNight Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Bloo - the soloists sweet tone, the ballads (props Doug Thrower), and the eighth note section in the closer with isolated sections SCV - the fluidity of the music and intermeshing of pieces BD - The jazz section with the fast half time marching. Very catchy Xmen - that baritone soloist has one of the best tones in DCI this year. What a section! That maltese cross build up Madison - the sustained energy through Malaguena section. That did it for me way more than the company front (seen it, been there, done that). Boston - WOW what a line. If you would have told me five years ago Boston was doing Titan I would have split a side from laughing. This line has become a powerhouse of grace and tone ever since 09 and they pull this book off incredibly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchammar Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 When SCV played "Music of the Night" in their encore at Omaha, and you just knew they were going to add it in somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) BK's first drill sequence where they gradually form the spaceship - best drill move in DCI this year Is that the drill move in the upper left hand corner that first looks like a blob - then some hornline members rotate into a pinwheel gate position allowing the guard to move to the center? It is one of my favourite moves of the year! Edited August 7, 2012 by LincolnV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
