THeShadeOfNight Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Bloo is riding a lot on show design and GE. They are definitely behind the top groups in brass and guard, and overall feels lacking in demand compared to Crown/BD/Cadets. They need to put in a bit more and amp up the intensity. Biggest issue for me tonight was blending electronics with ensemble, as the speakers overpower a lot and make the brass sound smaller at points. That said, their show is just so #### cool and it's tied for my favorite of the year wth Crown. I would love to see them get gold with it but I think they have a lot more than just cleaning to do. I may be the only person in existence who has no idea what everyone is talking about. There is incredible visual demand. Dancing in unison at those high speeds? High intensity notes and fast drill? Balance and core strength when hanging from the slides and playing? What am I missing that makes all of that stuff so much easier than other shows? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defeldus2 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Oh they have plenty of visual demand, I'm talking about music and the rest. Also, their guard is hurting their chances at visual caption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91FSU08 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Scores anyone? Wish I could have been there tonight. With a son aging out this summer, the tickets to Atlanta and Indianapolis were costly enough. So glad drum corps is back in FL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defeldus2 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 "It's different than what I want it to be therefore it doesn't exist." We're talking about and comparing the top tier of the elite, where a slight difference can the difference in medals and 5th. No one is calling anything they do easy.
