I'm really digging Spirit's program approach over the past three seasons. There's a ton of potential great GE moments in this concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritVet Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've had a chance to watch a 80% complete run of the show, and I'm very hyped. Things that have struck me: 1. How LOUD the hornline is this year. 2. New soloists, some who have been with the corps for a few years finally getting a chance up front, and some amazing rookies. 3. Fun musical and visual effects, especially around the 4 minutes into the show. 4. Some returning design elements that are brought about in a fresh new way. Oh, and if you get a chance to hear them perform encore/standstill tunes, there's an old favorite that's back in the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Just saw a complete run-through in uniform (except for guard) in prep for tomorrow night's Preview Show. And it looks like Spirit has another great, high-energy show. Of course it needs work, but even this early you can definitely see the potential. Can't wait for the Cinema show. <( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Had to dig up Spirit's show thread... LOVE THE NEW CLOSER, ESPECIALLY the silent drill with only the sound of the flagwork! Silence is powerful, and they utilize it SO well in those few seconds. A little dirty right now, but once they clean it up, gonna be great!
