Kevin Powell Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I see quite a bit of talk about the numbers 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 15 but there has not been much said about the old snake eyes… Number 11… Spirit of Atlanta. Curious to know why you do not hear much about this show? Also curious about opinions and thoughts of this show. 8 (Boston), 9 (Madison), 10(Blue Knights), 12 (Crossmen), 13 (Blue Stars), 14 (Glassmen) & 15 (The Academy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMusician Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 i dont see many talking about 14 or 15. 8-Because it was a close race with Cavies 9-One of the fan favorites (awesome show my number 1 listen) 10-It was something different so alot of people have the love hate opinion 12-Broke into finals last day. program is turning around. Alot of people talking about it. 13-Was in the top 12 till the last day. Dropping out the last day brought up questions leading to it being talked about. Only things for Glassmen is the director resigning. MY opinion why those groups are getting so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Powell Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I can see that. Boston and Madison both had a good showing. So I get that. You are right on the money about BK, Some people like it and some like me who cant get it out of my head. Spirit was right here and just sort of fit in the eleven spot. Sort of neutral. 12 and 13 a fun race. I probably hear more about Glassmen than any other corps so that might be from my daily life. The Academy has been getting some love and it was a good show. Spirit just seems to be on neutral ground. In placement and their show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyGranite Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I liked Spirit's show. The whole Vegas thing was entertaining as hell. And, they were ahead of BK all the way...until that last week before Finals. It might have created more fan buzz (and more talk about both shows) if BK had waited till Finals to pass them up, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 BK should have never even come close to passing Spirit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Powell Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 personally I wasnt a big fan of either show but I'm just weird about electronics. Subtle is about all I can take. Spirit is my old corps and I'm just happy people say it was entertaining. I think that is a big part of the history of SoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contrajedi8 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 My bands pit instructor played marimba in the pit at Spirit this past summer. I thought they had a great show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQuinn Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Again - when the hornline FINALLY played BK were fantastic. The drumline was good. Too much prancing and flitting about. Spirit had the crowd in their hands - BK did not.... The judges got it wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I liked the show a lot. It was entertaining and their sound was smokin'. It is great to see them making finals again and doing it with a style that is fun and basically feels right for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyGranite Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hmmm... Two negatives in my previous post. Did I say something wrong? Was someone offended because I liked Spirit's show? Did it rub someone the wrong way that I pointed out that Spirit led BK for most of the season? Tough crowd in this thread. LOL!! (seriously, though...I really don't care about getting negatives) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
