superOOk Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Universality? Triangles? Bueller? Don't be dense. You can't be a drunk senior corps with ten members doing Hansle and Gretle and win. There are other factors that determine score of course. But GE and crowd reaction are dependent on theme, pattern, story and universality, of which Bluecoats have just "theme".

superOOk Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Coats placement comes down to percussion scores. Who'd thunk that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It is unique in that it has no depth. An integral facet of the GE sheets. It doesn't have to have a storyboard to have depth, but it has to be slightly more intellectual than, "oooh look tilted thingies!" The Bluecoats' show is: -incredibly clean. -a series of set pieces relating to the general theme of the "tilt". -masterfully executed. -the first to marry full volume brass synth recordings with live brass. -slick in its handling of the tilt stage props. The Bluecoats show is also: -Limited in its range of emotion and tone -Limited in its color guard equipment, color changes and range of style. -Without thematic argument. -Without pattern. -Without story elements, although not required. -Without dramatic progression. -Without depth of meaning. -Without cultural reference. -Without ties or reference to nationality, political scenarios, business, literary or historical references, science, the humanities other than music itself, psychology, sociology, architecture, or media. -Without variance in musical genres within the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got it. This show is terrible because it doesn't have some deep story for you. Just try to enjoy it and move on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Tilt look like? sound like? We explore the possibilities of this world where things are out-of-kilter. Part Two (through the ballad): It is possible that individuals in this strange world can come together and resolve it into a place of great beauty, passion, and love -- but only momentarily. Conclusion: Just as we think we can understand this place, it becomes obvious that things here are tilted too far from the norm. Ultimately, "things fall apart, the center cannot hold." Try thinking of "Tilt" as a piece of abstract or impressionist art or poetry that speaks to each of us in a different way. If you take a great poem and attempt to dissect it by "explaining" the meaning of each line, you ultimately destroy it. It's not meant to be experienced that way, but it is in many ways more meaningful than a "story poem." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd is reacting just fine...this has clearly been the fan favorite show this year, so I'm not sure how your point applies to that. As for GE, the judges seemed to like it just fine in Houston, since they were behind only BD in the caption. And really, what is being argued at this point? You don't have to win GE to win it all (I think BD will win, just for the record). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
