DrumManTx Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I feel like their guard never gets super involved in the drill/visual program. Always surrounding, framing, behind, in front of the corps. Never really IN there integration wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Academy's show is twice what the Scouts show is. It's so easy to follow, the drill and guard matches the music so well. Beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 At Annapolis during BK... Dad: that looks hard to do. Me: Yes, but they're doing it well. Friend: Yes, but it's a bit too weird for me. Dad: Yes. ..... Dad (who marched snare in an American Legion corps in 1956): They don't feature their drums much. Me: [explains about the sublety of integrated battery writing for emotional impact that BK excels at] Dad: Oh. That's true.....they still need a drum solo. Both convos sort of point to the uniqueness of what BK is doing with their style, and while this show is growing on me, I think they did it better last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetOFFmyDot Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The Academy is INCREDIBLE. If they don't make finals, I will write a very angry Facebook post. #YouHaveBeenWarnedDCI :) Seriously, I am in love with their show! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That battery should sue for emancipation from the rest of this show design. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 BK does have the use of both visual and aural color figured out well though. I noticed Crossmen's continuum show uses a spectrum line of colored flags this year now too. It's a gorgeous effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I do really enjoy this closer. Will definitely listen to it a lot in the offseason. I agree with a pretty consistent comment on the show, it's just unfocused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
