Lincoln Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I thought there were nice things with Spirit's show last year. I felt the horn line had some beef to it, the uniforms looked great and I liked the musical selections. I liked the theme as well. Visually however, every time I watched their show my impression that the color guard just wasn't really integrated into the visual. I think the men and women in the guard were quite talented, but for the majority of the show they just weren't part of the whole picture (hope that makes sense). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcivet1012 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Find one non-biased, qualified person who would state the show was good. Ready. Go. I'm talking about the staff members, not the show. Do I think it was a great show? No. Do I think there were aspects of that corps and the talent of the members that were great? Absolutely. I tend to agree that the staff that needed to be replaced was and that this is a solid staff for 2015. Simply my opinion. I like to enjoy drum corps and not tear an entire corps apart because of one bad show. If I did that then I could never have enjoyed another Cavaliers show after 15 minutes of shame. New year, new chance to do something better. Until I actually see/hear something to show me otherwise, I'm not going to say anyone sucks. Corps change year to year. Pretty common in this activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Jeff and others, In light of Will Pitts' final moments in Spartacus, where will his arrangements fit in line with Hopkins' (in)famous comment about DCI music all being by "dead white guys" ???.

xandandl Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Michael Patrick Terry has landed a spot in front of the baritone/euph line at Cadets, his alma mater. Good luck Mikey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I liked Spirits show when I first saw it but towards the end of the season, it kind of lost something or the others around them started to gel in comparison. Wish them the best this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
