MikeZ Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am not a Cadets fan, but I am obsessed with watching Hops broadcasts on periscope. You have to give props when they are due, and George gets HUGE props on this one. So now...who will be the next corps to periscope something before the season starts?

2000Cadet Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Design debates aside (and I think there is plenty of room to both criticize and praise)... Watching the opener made my whole body hurt as I relived my 3 seasons of Sacktig drill. Truer words have never been spoken... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm still waiting for the silent drill break where they all raise a hand and do 1-10 in ASL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 He's a SCV/BD troll. But I dislike both of those corps so I guess I'm an east coast troll. ...? What??? I'm a phantom regiment fan and nothing else. All other corps are year to year for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, coming in third by 0.3 is horrible placement. They should be ashamed of that. 98% of everything said on here is opinion. Slicing and dicing what words were used seems pointless. In my opinion, I like seeing the shows develop over the season and see how scores ebb and flow. The idea that the entire season's value is only what occurs on finals night is too limiting for me. It's fun if your favorite corps/show wins, but looking years back, some of the cadets 2nd and 3rd place finishes are some of my favorite shows. Same with other corps. My favorite BD show wasn't the champion either. Doesn't matter to me. Just because Cadets were overtaken by a SLIM MARGIN does not mean they didn't have their show together. It could possibly mean that the corps that overtook them had their show MORE together than the Cadets did. "YUCK". Interesting how everyone assumed I was talking about Cadets 2014 placement. Scores aren't the end-all, be-all in DCI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I disagree with that (kind of). For example, Crown flies around the field pretty frequently playing tons of fantastic melodies and they get rewarded pretty well for it. BUT, I do agree that it opens up the chance for more dirt as we've seen in some of their shows in the not too distant past. ehh = they flew around the field in 2012, and finished 2nd. In 2013 they did a similar program with a ton less flying around the field, wore dark pants (both ala BD) and were awarded for their compliance (to the judges) with 1. That 2012 program was a beast, but visually they weren't as awarded for it. so I agree with the (above) thought that Cadets 80/90 style wouldn't be as rewarded. Another example of that is 2007 - when Cadets finished 2nd with a fireworks of drill moves to a much more static BD program built around "effect" instead of stamina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 so I agree with the (above) thought that Cadets 80/90 style wouldn't be as rewarded. Another example of that is 2007 - when Cadets finished 2nd with a fireworks of drill moves to a much more static BD program built around "effect" instead of stamina Wait, when has DCI ever been about whose MM's are most physically fit? I'd rather have corps members marching a la BD and be able to play at full volume (and not out of breath) than running their butts off to some crazy drill and have the sound/cleanliness of the drill suffer. And it's not like BD spends the whole show walking. Take their 2014 opener for example. Quite a bit of jazz running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Tuma Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 There's a musical moment in the beginning that is just screaming for an X-Pull. Wouldn't that be clever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
