Kyle B Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Sure wish the Blue Devils, you know, actually MARCHED over 200bpm. Every time the music gets fast they're either standing still or marching half-time while playing, doing jazz runs while not playing. Bleah. Careful, John is going to tell you that you don't know what you are talking about and that our eyes are to be mistrusted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 There are trade offs like any practice field, including echo, but seeing players from time to time is pretty cool. I'm positive the acoustics aren't the same ... but the responsibilities are. IT's a totally different mindset for rehearsing the show .. and does give them an advantage.

2000Cadet Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Two things... Putting PR ahead of Cadets....fine by me I guess but no way by 1.6. And with that score gap, no way Cadets have a shot at Percussion. Could it be possible with that gap that Crown has fallen between Cadets and Phantom? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Kamarag Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Devils are destroying the field in variety of effect, especially on the music sheets. They have more variety in the music score than anyone in the top 12. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersop Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That sounded like a new 8 bars of music toward the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you didn't see the fast tempo crab across the front sideline by the tuba line while playing a walk? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
