DrumManTx Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't see Pioneer as 7 - 8 points behind Genesis/Legends like they've been scoring. I'd say more like 3 - 5. Not beating them or too close for sure, but I think the show is a huge step up, they sound and march decently, and are relatively evenly strong across captions compared to 2011 - 2014. Get those holes filled! Think there is some really nice drill there once those gaps are gone. Tons of low brass ones. Will help fill out the sound too.

Cappybara Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sounds like a great crowd. Gotta be fun for the performers. From what I remember from past years, Muncie usually has a good crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassMonkey Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Singer sounds great, but it would be really nice to hear the brass. O.o They definitely have her amplified too much. Edited July 1, 2016 by BrassMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Loved the burning at the stake moment, great GE moment. Not the process of being burned at the stake. lol How they interpreted it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Speaking of holes -- Pioneer's timpani player has an interesting setup. Drums left and right, but not in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Legends are really. Another enjoyable show. I saw them last year live at Bowling Green. Was blown away by the size and power. They and Genesis are really up-and-comers in Open Class and certainly should be in Semis among the WC corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Pioneer turned a corner in 2015, now they have to keep the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonker Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't really get the trombone solo during the Adagio.........seems like the wrong timbre and style.....but maybe that's just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofmon88 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Loved the burning at the stake moment, great GE moment. Not the process of being burned at the stake. lol How they interpreted it. This is a really easy show to follow thematically. I definitely thought that moment was quite excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think the challenge Pioneer faces is getting bodies in those holes. Will help visually, musically, and effect wise. I think the show is really solid, just need some bodies! Singer is really overpowering on the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
