BRASSO Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Boy do I agree with this! When heads are bobbing left and right with no connection whatsoever to the music, it just looks ridiculous. It's like - oh look, see how I can play while rocking my head from 90 degrees to the left to 90 degrees to the right. Now I will put my feet together and squat at the knees. All while playing a lush ballad. don't forget the pelvic thrust body movement so prevalent in Corps now too. ( what the H is that all about ?..., when sometimes the music is a solemn ballad being played, or along these lines,, and such a body maneuver seems out of place with what the music mood requires. Oh well. Edited July 19, 2016 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I agree. The body movements are ridiculous. It's over the top. I'm losing interest. Completely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madalumni Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 While some of you Madison alums were on here arguing and pontificating about where your precious marching band should be placing, I was getting laid. ;) Who says you have to do one or the other? Maybe some of us are good multi-taskers! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Holland Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Completely ridiculous. I find that some aren't bad. But crown recycles what i like to call the "squat dump" throughout their show. kinda reminds me of my dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI-86 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think many of the body moves look bad since they lack training and doing these movements in military type attire makes them look even more ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's so much, but definitely the training. Even the corps with top-end dance instructors aren't going to teach a large group of people with minimal dance experience to achieve elite results, from a true dance perspective. Oh, go 2016 Madison Scouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
