George Dixon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I love bluestars but sometimes it feels like the program coordinator and brass arrangers forget to tell a coherent musical story with a beginning, middle and end. This musical program just feels disjointed and lacks a flow. Some of the direction changes are jarring. All that said, corps is obviously more vet laden than recent years and the pit and drums, whole percussion program, is quite strong. Horns put out a quality sound but could use a little more volume in spots. You can tell they are working hard but I'm left wondering if the members love their show, my sense is...

Tobias Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I really like BS. They are sloppy with the feet though. More so then the last few corps before them. If they can clean up then they should be in great shape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeBand Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I can't get into the Blue Stars' show. And that conjoined guard bit is off putting. Edited July 12, 2015 by LakeBand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think Blue Stars have the potential to pass PR by the end of the season. Show has all the potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastknight Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 This is a really strong show (Stars). Some of the music arranging is just wonderful, and other aspects are just ok. Love their percussion. FUN show. Fast drill at the end. I actually like that the brass is not overdoing the volume. They sound wonderful and balanced. They are also playing some meaty charts. Good demand. This is also a show that can push up the ladder. Come Finals I just see the Blue Stars slightly over Madison. Just a better overall vehicle. I think the same about Boston. OLD FART ALERT.... We're talking about a hornline avoiding "overdoing the volume". facepalm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
