tesmusic Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Sure, but we're here, not there. And are you saying that, for instance, rancidrolla's report, which immediately follows your post, should be disregarded? Nope, just saying those are where you get direct info from the corps and not just opinions and second-hand news. I was also responding to someone that Is an alum that comes in here every so often to start ####. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Welp, from what I've gathered so far about them, purely from comments on here, is that people are excited about them and think they'll have a great season---perhaps move up. There's much optimism. As there is pretty much every year on a Madison scouts forum. However, there's such optimism on other corps forums as well. Every year it can be found. I simply am not prepared to make prediction on the Madison Scouts moving up or down based on statements like "I'm hearing good things from the camps" and "I really like this particular staff choice" as well as going off of people with more primary intel who would have a proclivity to optimism fir the scouts anyway. There's simply nothing unique about the hype and provided info for the scouts that would make me think otherwise from my prediction. Agreed. i predict no better than 9th...and that's a stretch.

MJN Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Were Moore and Bedis there together then? Yep...interesting blend of East coast/west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wondering if anyone has been at rehearsals and if you can speak to what the overall vibe of the show is. Like I know it's the Gene Kelly music of the 30s/40s, but is it big band-ish and melodic, or is it sort of a modernized sound-bite-ish version of that style? Also, what's the overall impression of the visual and colorguard portion of the show? I'm very excited to see the show and plan on catching them in the theater in a couple weeks and then DOP on the 27th! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesmusic Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's a Boerma book, so it's incredibly melodic. As for visual, yea, quite nice on all fronts. Sparling and company are also doing great things with the percussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Just spent the last half hour listening to 1998 remembrance over and over. Probably my favorite drum corps performance to date. LOVE that song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Just spent the last half hour listening to 1998 remembrance over and over. Probably my favorite drum corps performance to date. LOVE that song. It's one of the rare instances where the drum corps arrangement is better than the original recording (or most covers).

swmstom Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Love hearing people give that 98 show love. It was a great show and very fun to march, but it often gets forgotten as it was sandwiched between the two epics of 97 Pirates and 99 JCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
