lumbargleeful Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Whatever they choose the drill will be so close intervaled in the brass that they won't be able to clean it and we'll get to watch collisions for the first 3 weeks of the season. Just like every year since Weber got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have your criticism about that, but their drill was more interesting and IS more interesting than pretty much all the rest. I think I'd pick that over "drill that doesn't really need to be clean because it's not drill" or "visual with drill snippets" any day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like every year since Weber got there. I think the intervals are often too close lately however I am a fan of Pete Weber. He has had some of the most amazing drill on the field since he started with Vanguard. He is the closest to "Wow" since Michael Gaines.

The intervals always seemed off but looks like that's just a characteristic of the drill, the white unis, or both. Either way, not a fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just defending Weber ( a little ). The latter is more individual focused. Weber is more ensemble focused. As Lincoln said, I just feel that Weber has the most WOW drill since Gains stop doing corps. Leon May is no slouch either. It's just a stylistic preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad_MMA Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't think it's a bad idea. Last year would have been a good time to do it, on the 25th anniversary, but Scheherazade was great. Also, what's making SCV irrelevant? High drums? They're on a fast track for another championship in my opinion. Post-Royer SCV was in a creative slump. Big time. All of a sudden, after trailing all season in 1997, this happened: http://www.fromthepressbox.com/19970809dcicharlotte.htm . They woke up. Two years later, they (co) won. What since? They won high drums in 2004 and (finally) medalled again. That fast-tracked to....to...to? With the myriad of creativity of the Fiedler bunch, expectations were higher than results. Plus, if someone wants to march in a California corps, there's one out there---I dunno---with a helluva relevancy going on right now.
