flammaster Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm sorry but I can name at least 5 Open Class lines that should have cleaned the floor with them! 7th place my foot! more like 17th Yo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachfolger Christi Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Boy, flammaster. That is a little exaggerated and if I said it, there are certain users that would have my head on a silver platter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good, but not quite on that next level. (I'd enjoy their 2014 book quite a bit more if the snare heads weren't cranked so high).

N.E. Brigand Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Boy, flammaster. That is a little exaggerated and if I said it, there are certain users that would have my head on a silver platter. Since he makes comments like that all the time and has a much longer history here, everyone knows they can't be taken seriously. Whereas your remarks, e.g. about Crown's "terrible percussion", came with less context for many, I'd guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachfolger Christi Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thank you for the response, N.E. Brigand. Here is my point about the percussion. It doesn't actually matter to me if they are an 11th place line. My whole argument revolves around consistent championship contention. If a corps wants to be in championship contention consistently, you cannot do so with a 7th place percussion line. If the goal is to stay somewhere within the top twelve, no problem. But with how integrated the GE and Music captions are now, it will be difficult to maintain champion level consistently. 7th place is not good if you want to have a shot at top 3 consistently. It great, though, if top 12 is where a corps wishes to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but the irony is in 2013 when they won gold with a 6th place percussion section, they still won Music Analysis and swept GE Music.

xandandl Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) maybe drums ain't music???? yuk, yuk Sorry, about that but you left that barn door so wide open that we could have driven the equipment truck 18 wheelers through it with room to spare. (Yes, I know it took DCI quite a while to weave percussion and brass into one musical consideration.)

wackywords Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Crown might be good, depending on if they can get some good talent at auditions. I assume that Zach Schlicher isnt there anymore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This relatively low percussion score in a winning DCI performance is not exactly new. BD won in 1980 coming in 7th in drumming execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
