azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Academy-"Vanity Fair." From a design standpoint this show is great. Musical selections, music content, visual package, etc. It just feels like the performers are at the mercy of their show right now. Love the marimba feature. Lots of character to be added from a performance standpoint. I'd have them below mandarins and PC tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Blue Knights-"That One Second" is my favorite bk show since 2011. Love the concept, horn sound is leagues better than the previous two years. I can see them passing up Madison and dunking it out with Boston and blue stars. Just wish they'd finish the show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPinCAL Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This is possibly the worst venue for a DCI show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 First scv show I saw live was the original scherezade so this is just nostalgic for me. That opening hit with the trombones is freakin awesome! I really enjoy the fact that all the corps using the new brass rule are doing a one and done approach. Vanguard does the same and it is tasteful in my opinion. Loved the sequel this season and I can see it getting 5th at worst come finals. Not that it's bad but bd, bloo, cadets and crown are not easy to take down. Awesome show scv! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffe77 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 At the show....quick thoughts. BK: great show with amazing potential. Can see them in the top 8. SCV comment as BK maybe top 3, Crosssmen: Strong show, percussion their strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bones-"Alma Qitana" is a cool show. I really like the top through the first big hit. Some cool moments in this show and California appreciates them coming out west. Thank you bones! As far as design goes though my only quarrel like last season was the drill is still too clumped up in the center of the field. Besides that great show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thank you blue devils. That was a treat two nights in a row. If this wins I am 100% behind it. Great show from top to bottom. The horns move and play so much that it's astounding how good of a sound they're getting this early. Great show. Not staying for scores but here's how I'd have it w/o numbers 1. BD 2. SCV 3. BK 4. Bones 5. PC 6. Mandarins 7. Academy 1. Gold 2/3. Impulse or GE 4. City sound 5. Watchmen 6. Incognito Thanks for tuning in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 This is possibly the worst venue for a DCI show. Absolutely. I couldn't get tickets. Watched from beyond the away side on the hill. For those who say shows aren't being attended, this one was VERY well attended, but the stadium was way too small. I may post some thoughts later, but I managed to turn the lemons into lemonade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
