DrumManTx Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 and they did it without the tarps which will add alot to the show. #StarJacketBand Facebook friend confirmed that the real tarps are being saved for turf shows. That score excites me, guard is a strong caption for them, CANNOT WAIT for the percussion to be judged, they're monster this year ! Hearing brass is drastically improved as well. Nice opening score.

crownisking Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Facebook friend confirmed that the real tarps are being saved for turf shows. Will it be the black tarp, or do they have a different color for shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Will it be the black tarp, or do they have a different color for shows? I don't think they'll be black, haven't been told what the real colors are, black ones are for rehearsals and shows on grass fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjyaub Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Worst start for Spirit in several years. I don't care if it is their first show. It doesn't bode well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMusician Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 They have to have different ones because the FB page showed them painting guard flats so they are probably just using them until they get show ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine White Russians Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was? Oh, you mean that maybe the Scouts were dirty in certain captions compared to the corps above them? NO, that's not possible! It HAS to be a conspiracy of the judges, who get their direct orders from the G7. Where you even at the show? Well, that wouldn't matter anyway, because every friggin' year, you are on here with the same knee-jerk reaction and because of your green colored glasses, and entitlement attitude (Scouts are superior to everyone and automatically deserve to be top 5 regardless). By the way, I've watched their dress rehearsal numerous times, their drill is very slow moving and somewhat simplistic compared to Cavies, Phantom and Crown - especially in the opener (you may not like it, but that's how the sheets are written....speed and complexity/layering are rewarded) The guard, was very dirty....but with some focus and hard work, can clean big time. Don't know how much cleaner they were tonight, but that is a major caption these days and if you're dirty it's going to bite you. The encouraging thing in all captions; the rep scores were significantly higher than the execution scores....that means they have room to grow and improve. In previous years, it was the reverse. They were relatively clean early, but maxed out on content. When other corps caught up to them on cleaning, they passed the Scouts just after mid-season. I think with this show, the Scouts have a vehicle that can catch up to, and pass some corps that are now in front of them. Also, they have a great drum line....and there was no drum judge tonight. Overall, I think there's great potential for Madison to move up in the rankings. More importantly, they have a show that pleases the crowd and screams Madison. Last year's show left me a little flat in some areas. The closer rocked in an epic way, but the middle felt a little WGI-ish for my taste. This year's production is engaging from top to bottom!
