RiflemanCG Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It's 2014.... Narration helps tell the story. Drum Corps has evolved.. People we dont march with tympani anymore. Get use to Narration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Pretty solid show from BK. The drill actually looks really promising from the high cam. I bet the new uniforms look really good in person, but kind of hard to tell from the stream. What was the narrator's text from? I got so tired of the circle poem last summer that they read like 80,000 times during the show. At least the text covers more ground this year.

RickCogley Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I liked the Blue Knights' show. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinO Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Trying to figure out what all those panels on the left side of the field added to the show, other than cluttering up the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Not a fan of amplified solos. Really hard to get the balance right. That one stuck out too much. I don't know... I think its one of the changes I can live with. Its not synthetic or artificial, and it IS a real, honest to goodness on field performer that is being promoted in the show with the mic'ed solo.

BRASSO Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'll tell you what, Blue Knights guard staff sure knows how to pick a color scheme, can't think of a show the past few years that hasn't looked absolutely beautiful. I agree totally with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some corps do it better than others. I actually thought BK's use of it was very effective. Mandarins' was pretty good too, in my opinion. There is one prominent corps, however, that uses it in a way that I find very condescending and obnoxious. I could do without that kind of narration in drum corps.
