Musicman1084 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I really thought BK was going to keep playing continuously into their encore. I enjoy the show quite a bit, but being realistic, this show will not break top 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Fieldpaint Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can somebody fix BK's encore arc where the snares are connected to the hornline? It's killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Phan Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I loved BK = I will ponder the big blue ball! FYI.. I was not booing Crown just the constant chatter during their show. Don't even. Just take the beating like a man and live to fight another day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 That music was gorgeoussss My favorite Blue Corps tonite was the Blue Knights. This is my favorite BK show in years. I agree with you, " that music was gorgeous ". I have a feeling it will play well in off season plays with fans too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsBusDriver Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think some of it is that the field is "plain jane" as the visual staff would call it - the absolute minimum markings DCI requires. They're better when they have full turf markings. One of the tradeoffs of the dot system is that when you begin to rely on markings which are, increasingly, nearly always available even at rehearsal sites in BFE, it's a different thing when you have to do the show without them, especially with the way Peter Weber writes. I imagine that Gaines drill may be slightly easier to translate to plain jane, given how orderly it is vs. Pete's curves and clusters, which all require 0.25 sometimes 0.125 dots. In any case, there's only a few shows left on plain jane fields anyway, and none of them are absolutely critical. Hey thanks for the explanation! It makes sense. I'm from the old school marching technique and this dot system is way beyond me (0.25, 0.125 dots? ) Still, one too many rifle drops for my taste. But what do you expect from a Color Guard person? I hope they're just getting it out of their system. I absolutely love this show and I'm always proud of my SCV Bothers and Sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
