Indy "opening" contest


Recommended Posts

Just returned from the theater and these are my simple thoughts.

Madison - Liked their show

Blue Stars - Really liked their show

Carolina Crown - OK, not as good ### the last 2 years. Had a major gaff with the red silk during the ballad.

Cavaliers - Meh.

Cadets - Liked this show the best but it doesn't have a signature moment that captures you. Percussion was stellar and yes, the synth was overbearing.

Bluecoats - To me disappointing. Loved Tilt 10 times more than this show. WAY to much electronics. Props are obtrusive like those of Crown last year.

Brass sounded amazing from the parts I heard (opener and closer). It's either them or Phantom as the dark horses this season.

Actually, I think it is the Troopers who are the dark ...er....wild horses. :tounge2:

This show is extremely effect-driven, with so many moments of "Was that a trumpet playing, or was it the speaker".

And that's a good thing?

When you realize what their theme is, yes. This show will probably be a GE monster, much like Tilt.

It actually is. Because they were playing right before you notice they aren't there. It's an illusion of sound, something I have never experienced before in drum corps, and I liked it. Being there live makes it a completely different experience than if you saw it in the theater.

Agreed. I found myself wanting to hear the brass line, not the brass and the electronics behind it. It's a cool effect but not for 11 minutes but first read in a theater is hardly a great sampling of any of these shows so I'll see them again. Edited by Tobias

Look up user Dale Sawyer on Periscope. He has the full show still on there.

I can't figure periscope out. I've found him, but I guess the stream wasn't archived because nothing plays.

Once you click on his name, go to his recents. It's still there.

I guess it just doesn't want to play for me. Bummer.
