MrBud Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) FUNNY THOUGHTS about the show! 1) Cadets used a "CONCERT FRENCH HORN" Soloist...I have heard NO negative comments about it. (pretty good soloist too) 2) Cadets are using a prop stage that is over 40 yards Long...I would like to see this in Whitewater!...lol 3) Phantom Regiment changes their "Traditional" and White Swan Lake look to the "DARTH VADER" look halfway thru the show...I liked the uniform change, but missed the Star Wars Music. 4) Troopers did a semi - Sunburst in their show!...Boo! I would love to see the ORIGINAL and get the PEOPLE STANDING EARLIER..lol 5) Cavaliers...I dont remember them...so..........They need to juice up the show... 6) Cadets had an announcer...Can we please see what is behind Door #1 on that prop?

KRtrumpet182 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anyone else think that Crown will tack on Also Sprach Zarathustra by finals week? Heck, it would fit the show. That would be cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Awesome show by Crown as well! Stunning brass and the demand is through the roof. Love the arrangements, and everything is well voices and orchestrated, much like Cadets. Just better construction than what Phantom and Cavaliers have. This is going to be interesting. I'd actually have Cadets on top. The way I see it: 1. Brass - Crown by .4 over Cadets 2. Percussion - Cadets by 1.2 over Crown 3. Visual Ex. - Cadets by .3 (thought Cadets were a little cleaner) 4. Visual GE - Cadets by .4 (I really think Cadets have the better drill and overall staging, but we will see what the judges think) 5. Guard - Crown by .5 over Cadets 6. Music GE - Crown by .1 (very close in my eyes, mostly a tie) So I have Cadets up on Crown tonight by .9. Of course, since I am usually wrong at this stuff, don't place any bets in Vegas. :-) In all seriousness, that Cadets production is strong. I love the narration. That show calls for it. I do think Cadets have the strong drill, percussion, and marching, overall GE will be close, and brass is in favor or Crown, but Cadets are not far back. Two awesome corps, for sure. It should be a DCP requirement that all predictions follow this format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Now if they would just trust them to play a whole note once in a while, instead of shoehorning runs into everything Actually, many of these runs are in the source music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Also very happy to see the phantomettes. They performed great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 So I have Cadets up on Crown tonight by .9. I don't see it that way... I think Crown wins this by at least a half point. But like you said, who the heck knows with the first show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMusician Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I dont care how many runs you can play. How much double tonguing or triple tonguing. If thats all you do the music will sound the same. I want things i can sing not just runs. I feel like brass has turned into we can play loud and play alot of notes but the notes arent really melodic its just dadadaadadadadadadadada and done. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkingqm Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 ok..so i'll predict it right now. The worm hole will emerge at finals and purple pants will come out.. LOL Hmm. Would it be too much if the boy and girl from the bench last year appeared out of a bass drum in this year's show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It should be a DCP requirement that all predictions follow this format. That would require the average DCPer to actually understand each individual caption and what's graded in each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwiz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Three days later last year Troop scored s 59. They're clearly better at this point of the season than last, let's see what they get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
