Squirrel! Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) The Academy - They're finally starting to make this Vienna-esque theme pattern work. Blue Devils - They earned their medal this year, no doubt. Blue Knights - I like this new Blue Knights we're seeing! Blue Stars - I love how they went back to their roots (from 2008 and 2009)! Bluecoats - Easily the fan favorite of the year and it's partially because they went with the time-honored tradition of choosing the music first, not the theme. Boston Crusaders - This corps does dark so well it's scary. The Cadets - This is just classic Cadets, no other corps can pull off a show like this. Carolina Crown - Matching last year's intensity is a hard job even for Crown, but they did an okay job. Cascades - This show could have been powerful with more members on the field. The Cavaliers - Welcome back!!! Colts - I will never complain about the Cadets' amount of narration again..... Crossmen - They changed their theme from the past two years, but still used that brass arranging style that made those years so good. Jersey Surf - They're still a fun and entertaining corps even without the costumes! Madison Scouts - They tried to fix what wasn't broken, but great effort. Mandarins - This is a powerful show, but I wish they would have stuck with the Asian theme after last year's success. Oregon Crusaders - It's good to see them still far exceeding expectations while still holding on to (a version of) the uniform they've been using since their early Open Class days. Pacific Crest - Great concept, repertoire left me asking for more. Phantom Regiment - This was a powerful show that, in my opinion, should have at least scored higher than last year. Pioneer - Same Pioneer as usual, pretty entertaining though. Santa Clara Vanguard - Somehow, they did this better than the first time they did it! Spirit of Atlanta - I love this homage to their past (including the uniforms), but doing another Gatsby-esque show might have scored them more points. Troopers - They're continuing what they started last year and it's beautiful! Edited August 4, 2014 by Squirrel! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
