Like the last 5-6 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 As far as the talk being concerned primarily with placement, I was just talking about the posts on this thread of late. Like the last 5-6 days. I gotcha. It's a fair question. I think it comes down to their first loss and the days leading up to BD match-up Before that it was more general, less about how the corps can squeeze another point out of the program So I get what you're saying...

2000Cadet Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Put a crazy drill move at the end of Burlesque. Hell, they already extended the chord and gave the guard a huge toss. THAT'LL get the crowd up I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT'LL get the crowd up I'm sure. Well, if we can get the Cadets to have some of their guard zip down to their bras and have the snare line perform some of their most technical phrases parked on a platform (both a la BD), then the sky is the limit :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 ...have some of their guard zip down to their bras... I take it all back, go back to talking about placements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brichtimp Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I take it all back, go back to talking about placements! But...but....those are aesthetic choices. The judges determine placement since the tick system is long gone. I think the Cadets have one of the most cohesive shows among the top 4, enhanced by significant stretches of medium to high velocity drill employed to good effect, and with effective transitions which maintain the momentum for the most part. That said, this is a unique musical sport...it would be unnatural to avoid comparing scores against relative performance levels in the various captions.

chaddyt Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think people are talking about scores instead of the show right now because 1.) the big boys have finally started going head-to-head and it's an exciting race to have in the middle of the season and 2.) the Cadets really haven't changed much of their show since the season started, so... people's opinions, what they do or don't get out of the show, their likes or dislikes have all been mentioned already. I don't think it's a bad thing. Just the natural DCP circle of life. We'll be talking more about the show when the changes get debuted. And also how those changes effect the scores they're given. As far as their run in Metamora... I was left kinda' flat. Not saying it was a good or bad run, but it didn't hit me like other performances of theirs have this season. Maybe the show simply doesn't lend itself to multiple viewings (lack of the "wow" moments). Maybe the grass was too high. Maybe kittens make the best waffles. One thing is for sure, there's still a month left of competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
