DrumManTx Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 IMO great run, a little shaky in the ballad for a second, but I thought it was really solid. Don't see how they got that score on Thursday. Only two quibble's would be I can understand the volume comments (not as big of deal and I think that's a long term thing, quality > volume IMO), and they just need to clean visually as an ensemble. I think that's what's giving Crossmen and BAC shots at em is the visual program needs some serious polish. On the upside, Brass has a really refined sound, percussion is killer, guard is starting to gel, and they're making some changes and additions to direct your focus and attention to bring it together. Don't forget about them, they REALLY started coming together around this time last year. I don't see them 12th tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Blue Stars were strong. I still question some of the musical transitions but they are improving the show quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardguy89 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I love the guard - hardest book out there !!! and love how it's an interpretation of old time carnival and what it would have been like back in the day - instead of a modern day take. So much richer !!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Did I miss it or did BAC forget to leave a place to roar in Conquest? They left it in 1975. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Blue Stars Guard medaled last season. Percussion seems strong this season to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCI-86 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Wow Blue Stars were fantastic. Voice over really helps tell the story and their guard is so well integrated and just about the hardest book out of everyone - and they are finally starting to achieve it. Hope they get the credit 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummergirl Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Not taking anything away from Blue Stars but I just can't get into their show this year. Disappointed after I loved them last year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastknight Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What the helll is going on with the mic's? Are the mic's controlled by an "adult"? That's a radio frequency dropout. Not much the sound tech can do about it. All you can do is replace it with a better mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
