Cappybara Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Warming up to this show more and more. Some random, useless thoughts... Snares on the ladders is cool. Rifles get tossed up and down the ladders is cooler. Music demand is off the charts. Seems they've stopped putting the soprano screamers in front of mics. Good move. Kpop section has potential. I think they need to cut back on the narration there and utilize the percussion section more to set the groove. The crowd isn't sure what that section is supposed to be. Need to make it clear it's supposed to be a break-down and they'll respond. Ballad. Wow. Anyone else think the very end of the closer has a very Cadets feel to it? Maybe the crowd is confused how the K-pop section is tied to the show, but they're definitely sure what the section is supposed to be: a crowd pleaser. Every vid I've listened to of that section has the crowd cheering a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If there are any other old geezers like me who had to ask, "What is 'k-pop'?" here is an answer I found. http://kpopforbeginners.weebly.com/what-is-kpop.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that one and don't remember the crowd "cheering a ton" during that section. So if you have video one or both of the other 2 shows can you share them?

If any more vids from a certain source turn up anywhere, there will be no more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, things may be a little tense for a bit. While the A corps will be pouring tea into the harbor on the Fourth with the Crusaders, the International group will be in England, UK on the Fourth trying not to be held hostage. They say the Crown, not the Carolinans, have a long memory and still don't think they lost the Colonies yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard any crazy crowd response from what I've seen. Seems like that whole section is pretty much over by the time the crowd gets into it a little.

Standing O Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 So, saw the show. The section in the middle where the sample sound like " I wana donught" seems kind of out of place. There has got to be at least a minuet where all there is samples and drum kit, even the color guard doesn't have equipment. Sorry, loose me there. Love the ballad, you know why, because they actually play the song and give me a melody I can sing on the way out the door, been a while since they did that! Like the way they mic the baritone solo. It is really obvious that when they play harder material they always stand still. It will be interesting if any of the adjudicators will recognize that in comparison to others that do move and play and how they choose to reward? It looks like they don't know what they want at the end, kind of boring, maybe a work in progress. Drums on ladders, yea so, just because?--rifles on ladders, kind of cool, but what does that have to do with wolves and writing a children's book. Interested in seeing how this plays out. Not sure about the 2 point spread to the other corps, I think they have some issues with transition and focus when they move the props around. Guard has some talented kids, but they have some young ones too, Lots of drops on the run I saw. Almost all of them move there feet under there tosses. Not a "20" color guard this year---judges! they do like to dance though! Assume the big pipes will become writing utensils at end of show, interested in seeing that prop, can do a lot with them though, they just put the weaker people on them I guess. my two cents till next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave that to the judges. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
