2000Cadet Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 So, IF you don't mind comparing scores from separate shows on the same night, then you shouldn't mind comparing captions either: Bluecoats took guard for the night (beating BD by a tenth). BD and Cadets tie in total GE. BD first and 'Coats second in visual (.6 difference). BD first and Crown second in Music (.4 difference). BD first and Crown second in percussion (.4 difference). I don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Blatch Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Will you be reporting from the show? Apparently, composer John Mackey was there and was quite impressed with the Bluecoats. https://mobile.twitter.com/Ostimusic/status/485597823849607168 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well certainly when Jeff Prosperie judges. He seems to like them. Really? You're calling out Jeff Prosperie as a Crown homer? maybe it's time for a re-charge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 A lot of good news in the recaps for the BLUE team :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCHEZman Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Really? You're calling out Jeff Prosperie as a Crown homer? maybe it's time for a re-charge? Not at all. JP is a great judge. I'm saying he really digs Crown's line this year. He's had them first by a nice little bump both times he saw them. Percussion wins this year just seem to fluctuate show to show more than last year..

BRASSO Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Apparently, composer John Mackey was there and was quite impressed with the Bluecoats. https://mobile.twitter.com/Ostimusic/status/485597823849607168 Oh but you left out in your comments something quite instructive from Composer John Mackey: Quote : " This was the first time I actually heard electronics actually enhance a Drum Corps show ". .. What a negative " hater " this guy must be, huh ?. What the heck does he know anyway about this " electronics and Drum Corps " stuff anyway ? Jeez, the way he talks, you'd think he knows more about what works well and not in music than most of us here. And THAT can't be true..

Well, well... From all the John Mackey posts I've ever seen, this is probably the highest compliment I've ever seen him give any marching group (drum corps or otherwise).

N.E. Brigand Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Full panels mean a big jump for the leading Open Class corps here and in Michigan City. We'll see how tonight's Sacramento show fits into the mix, but for the moment, 7th Regiment has a strong lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 anyone there that can comment on the conditions? was it extremely windy? It was a great night in the stands but the winds did cause some troubles at some points. Spirit's props had wind issues and some flag tosses were impacted.
