Lincoln Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Among others, Pink Floyd (quotes from "Dark Side"), Radiohead (quotes from "Creep"), and William Shakespeare (Richard III). Who assembled it: not sure, but IIRC, Sully brought the guy who consulted with Cadets on their narration this year in to work on this show as well, so probably him. Edit - it's so depressing.

DCfan76 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This is the first time I've seen or heard this show. I have to say that I like it. A lot. I'm not usually a fan of these talker, talking, while the corps provides back up music...ala Cadets...but this one works for me. It's an interesting take on Oz and the Pink Floyd music fits. Agree.

Slingerland Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Was he depressed? Have you ever HEARD Dark Side of the Moon? It's not an ABBA album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 See, and to my mind, if you're going to do a show that uses a lot of voiceover/character work, you have to put on your big kid pants and go all the way with it (which Colts do). Blue Knights use a lot of voiceover too, but don't go big the same way. They're playing it safer, but it's less convincing, as a result. All IMHO, of course. Disagree completely. I think BK's use of voice this year strikes the perfect balance. My favorite show of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdadx3 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I saw this show two weeks ago, and had the same complaint - I could only make out about every 4th word. Sounds like they still haven't fixed the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The opening to this Troopers show is just absolutely luscious and gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Looking forward to the addition of a narrator category at the individual and ensemble championship. Maybe even a spin on the drumline battles, "Narrator Battle, Colts vrs Cadets." Edited July 19, 2014 by mrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsMamaZ Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Colts just hit it out of the park!! Loved the guard uniform change, and the music and marching were right on! Go Red Team!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Go find Spielberg and John Williams and tell them they've been f---ing up all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
