DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PRELIMS - 8/11/16


Recommended Posts

In BOA, last I checked, it's 6 feet.

I'm pretty sure that those platforms that BA used last year were taller than 6 feet. Could be wrong though.

Mic issues on the mello soloist for the ballad, which is too bad because the solo and the ballad are beautiful.

Boo! Cause that solo is amazing.

I really like how this drill flows during the ballad. The eye formation is very striking with the guard forming the iris.

Nice effect with the horn members filling in the holes in the front. Great visual moment.

If you study this picture carefully you will see that guard member is at least 20 feet up in the air, and the stagecoach is moving.

I'd like to see a new thread on this topic, maybe after finals are over; from a safety point-of-view, it bothers me that corps members are so high off the ground. Bluecoats soloists are at least that far up as well.

What is the limit for safety?

I hear you on this one. I watch the members being placed higher on props every year, and it makes me cringe. I know it creates a certain effect, but if it was my kid up there, I would have a conversation with the designers.

Like I said way back when, it's the "eye of the storm."

And IIRC, BD had a similar "eye" set in 2010.

Mello solo at the start of the closer, nails.

Hey, the drums changed. They're now the slips from the beginning of the season. Is that new?

They changed slips in Allentown too I believe. It was nifty. Meaning, they changed mid show.

Lol, that's like 10 feet. I jumped off higher as a kid.
