tigger2 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Thus far: Mandarins-Solid concept and very aggressive at times. Best show from them I have seen. Colts-A good show with some demand, but fairly straightforward. Good energy. Drums rough tonight. Uniform is awkward. Crossmen-I thought a step up from Colts in most sections, but an easier show overall, especially tempo-wise, Uniforms for musicians and guard look great. Concept fits them well. Blue Stars-interesting. Some visual exposures for sure. Brass often overblown. Theme off and on again. Last half seemed drawn out. Lots of individual blips this evening. Brass versus drum writing? Spirit- Lots of fire and crowd ate it up! Some cleaning to do but tons of demand. Better than last night which I wasn't sure was possible for all they are doing. What a fun and well thought out concept, Very clear segments from the 20s. I love how clear the theme is. BK-Very solid first half. Second half much different in terms of engagement and achievement. Brass challenge seems low. Pretty colors. Thought tarps were not legal? Edited July 19, 2013 by tigger2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPRfan Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Alright Vanguard! Much improved from Denver in marching. New drill in closer is wonderful. Love this show. Hornline is growing but still a long ways to go to contend. The vehicle is there though. Such an effective guard too. Bravo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 BK-Very solid first half. Second half much different in terms of engagement and achievement. Brass challenge seems low. Pretty colors. Thought tarps were not legal? Last night in BA, 3-4 guard members came out from underneath the blue ball table. Were they triggering some kind of effect under there? Pitching woo? I didn't really get a "emerging from something" bravado or anything, so it seemed a little awkward. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxingfred Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Jacky Gilley is judging GE Visual. Cadets will come in 4th in that caption 1 point or more from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamparadiddlediddle1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Blue stars definitely feel like the first bit corps of the night. Not really a fan of the show or the concept. Brass edgy. Guard had some good tosses. Sun out. Not enough wind. Someone smells like BO. Thank you for the intuitive, insightful, in-depth report on this group. I really learned a lot from your expert nebulous opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywhopper Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Jacky Gilley is judging GE Visual. Cadets will come in 4th in that caption 1 point or more from the top. Given the issues with their towers, I think that'd be a reasonable Visual GE score. Sloppy setups and movement of props detracts from visual effect. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
