Fred Windish Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Have to agree with Granny. Carolina Crown REALLY keeps my attention. Could just be the outstanding multi-camera work (best shot selections of the season to date) but this show astounds me in so many ways.

jkingqm Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I would have to pick Bluecoats because of the ballad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Visceral: relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect. This is a question that requires you to "let go" a little and not overthink the mechanics of what we are seeing this year. When you watch the shows this year which one moves you the most viscerally? I'm not asking which show you think is the most refined or technically the best as it relates to general effect. I'm just wondering which show stirs your emotions the most? Don't feel compelled to give a reason because often these kind of emotions aren't easily explained. P.S. I know that viscerality isn't a word, but it sounded kind of fun.

Sandonovan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I might be in the minority, but The Cadets this year... Appalachian Spring and Simple Gifts just punches me right in the feels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkAnthony Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Crown. I know their percussion isn't scoring above and beyond this year, but that extended muffler break leaves me breathless. The ballad is pretty awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This question is challenging since I find the majority of this year's shows are pretty straightforward. I think the show I just enjoy musically and visually would be SCV. Of the corps in the middle of the pack placement wise I'd give it to Troopers and of the corps who placed a bit lower and are often ignored, I'd say Surf.

SFZFAN Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 None of this year's shows move me in the slightest bit. I find Crossmen the most enjoyable but no movement. It's been a long time since a DCI show has done that for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 ...watched the show yesterday in a pretty well-set-up living room...big screen and nice sound. A few older, experienced, you might say jaded, educator/corps people observing. When 'Coats were over the place was bonkers. TV...stereo sound...not live. Now, I've seen this show a couple of times (yes, there is an "of" ...I don't speak Strunk/AP since I gave it up for Lent) and have already decided that it's the baddest thing I've seen in the 52 years I've been experiencing drum corps. I was at Camp Randall in '92 for VK's shark attack (actually helped set it up, but that is a minor bias IMO) and several other OMG moments...this *show* puts all that into perspective. Thank you 'Coats, for redefining my personal parameters! And, of course, after yesterday's performance, a few other older folks, also. This is not describing deep, reflective, inward feelings. This is an outwardly, joyful reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
