azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Impulse-"from dusk til dawn" features Beethoven's 5th, moonlight sonata an the 9th symphony. First impact definitely was the loudest moment so far. More difficult drill than the previous shows. Caused some lack of clarity in the brass but it is still June and they barely finished learning their show Wednesday so really strong performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Your welcome for the comments guys. I was at Glendora but with a friend who had never seen drum corps so I attended to his questions instead of posting. Thought I'd make up for it today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Does anyone out there know what the ticket situation is like for the latecomers? Sold out. Blast zone was sold out too Visitor side sold out. I'm looking from the parking garage to West o's Wheellock. 1st time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Now I'm at Shakey Pizza. I'll head back over after intermission so I can look from afar. Good thing I'm going to Wisconsin soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Gold-"The Journey" had a lot of great visual moments. Percussion section is rocking hard too. Definitely in a league of their own at this show as far as those captions go. Guard had more drops than yesterday so "SPIN CLUB FOR YOU." I was a bit disappointed by the horn book. Horns sound big with typical early season errors but the content and difficulty is not on par with the previous 3. In that respect I'd put them below in brass content but first in achievement. They win open class no problem besides that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Mandarins- "Unbreakable: The Human Spirit is Limitless" was the. The amount of improvement from the past two seasons is great. Horns, drums and guard are all on par with one another. The drill design is awesome! Definitely a high box show. Really well written horn book by Key with some finger stunts and a screaming trumpet solo. Really strong run for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for the reports, Azul. Since Gold alone of these Open Class corps continues to compete after July 13, for another three weeks, here's hoping they're able to use that time to layer in some difficulty.

azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Pacific Crest-"No Strings Attached" is growing on me more and more every time if see it. That hornline is powerfully loud! The decibel meters got pushed at several impacts and have left my ears still ringing. I recall someone criticizing the guard in their Oceanside review and don't see where it's coming from unless they had a bad run that day. Guard was great, Drumline continues to get stronger. Great show and lots of gimmicks pertaining to puppets in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
