henry7184 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 We didn't hardly get any reviews from the show in Fresno last night. Anyone have any feedback or comments on the scout's performance? There are a bunch in the Fresno thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swmstom Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 All I see in Fresno thread is bi****** and moaning over BK and the lack of their complete show. No one seems to want to provide any insight into the shows. Maybe folks tonight will be more willing to critique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcityscout Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 This is exactly what I meant as well from the Fresno thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swmstom Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 From watching lot videos it sounds like snares still have mylar heads. Is the plan still to switch to kevlar or not? They sound very muddy with mylar..has to hurt drum scores one would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swmstom Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I hope I'm wrong and it's just a lack of people talking but it feels like Scouts are being received well out west but not to the "holy smokes, oh my lawd what a show" level. Maybe I expected too much but figured this show wiuld be blowing the chat world up once it got in front of a live audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Mad Homer through and through...But there's one thing I've learned over the years...There's a terrible amount of pre-season hype out there that's usually way off the charts as compared to reality. That said, Go Scouts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcityscout Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I think that we will hear more about them in the chat world once they come back east. I think there is a lot of buzz out west about SCV, and probably rightfully so. There is also a lot of chat about BK since they placed the highest that corps has ever placed last year. So let's wait until the Scouts come back east into familiar base territory and I would think it will be different on the show threads.

swmstom Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 That's what I'm hoping for, but I was hoping and expecting a bigger BOOM. I guess there isn't negative talk, so that's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcityscout Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yes, I think so. I realize that the 8 thru 6 spots is probably the most competitive grouping in DCI. And it can take more than a year to make a shift in those placements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the philosophy behind it maybe it covers preseason dirt and they switch when they are ready? I wouldn't be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
