San Antonio Regional


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry Colts I can not stomach this show at all.

I actually had to sit down with this show and clock it for its elements, it disappointed me so much. What a great concept - Pink Floyd and Oz. But they've destroyed it.

In the first six minutes of this show, this is what you will hear:

59 seconds of drum solo

57 seconds of horns and drums playing together (no distractions)

2 minutes and 16 seconds of narration

By the end of the show, narration and music balances out, but by six minutes in I'm so disgusted I don't care anymore.

(anyone following and checking me, if San Antonio comes up slightly different, know that I clocked an earlier show this year, not this one)

George Dixon's sig block says

Amplification in drum corps is like trampolines in the high jump.

My signature doesn't say that.

This show reminded me of 2006 Zone aftermath , maybe DCI should have a " Narration Battle " during intermission!

I can't believe your timing is inaccurate!

I can't believe how percussion scores were so off between both judges.

Did one judge drums and the other judge front ensemble??

Judge 1 on field. Judge 2 in box. General consensus is Judge 1 was more consistent with reality. :)

. As usual Cavies will depend on their GE scores and smoke and mirror drill writing to give the impression their visual package is scintillating. That being said, the marimba thing is cool and their drill is relatively complex and intricate.

HAHAHA...thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning. So if the drill is relatively complex and intricate how is it smoke and mirror drill writing?

Yet if the percussion scores were identical between the two judges, people would complain and say things were fixed. DCI judge...most thankless job in the world.

I think Fan Network administrator/technician is more thankless.
