DrumManTx Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Guard staging and some of the drill writing around the props are the only issues I'm having with Boston. Otherwise, I really dig it. Love the Conquest at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I said this after the theater premier - of all of the contenders, they're the one with the least characterization, most traditional pit "sounds" (though maybe the loudest, admittedly) and drill reminiscent of the early 2000s. Exactly right. I think this had a lot to do with how much people ripped them after all the cheese added to their show last year. I had mentioned this earlier today on a different thread, I really enjoyed their show last year, mostly in it's Akron form (early season). It simply needed an elegant and stately ending. But for many they got ripped over narration, a podium, and American cheese come the last week of the season. So you knew Hop would back off. And now what are we seeing from everyone else...more singing ballads than I've ever heard before, more electronics, sound effects galore, and even some narration. Enjoy this traditional approach we are getting from Cadets this year, because you know very well Hop will want his designers to do a modern and innovative show next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownLeadSop Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Probably 1. Blue devils (by a point) 2. Cadets (by .6 over Crown) 3. Crown 4. BAC 5. Crossmen 6. Troopers That's my guess-ish. I might have Crown a shade closer if I were feeling bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
