Newseditor44 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Anyone else think it's rude that they would consider announcing scores in the middle of INT's show? I tweeted at DCI about the scores and got this response: Drum Corps Int'l @DCI 14s14 seconds ago {name redacted} the first round of scores will be announced at the first intermission! (Didn't we already have several intermissions?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofmon88 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 You could hear a bit of the ol' G bugle influence in the mellophones in that big statement. Man, I love Kanstul horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Not a chance. They finally have an incredibly cohesive staff and design team after almost ten years of being an embarrassment at the bottom of world class. Their #newcascades movement really took off with Turn, last year was incredible, and this year was a mature step up They're fielding a full corps for the second year in a row when just a few years ago they had four (!!!!) guard members. This year has been another great step for them. Last year they were fighting tooth & nail to get into Semis, this year (by my eyes), they're solidly in. Agreed on the progression of their proficiency. "Turn" was the turning point, and last year was very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Real jobs its such a bummer!! I am just hoping I can get away from this desk in time to get to the theater. I told them I wouldn't be there and wrote it on my calendar next to my desk. Everyone said see you tomorrow when I left. I guess they will be in for a surprise.

CrownBariDad Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I love that bass guitar slide at the end of the ballad -- he scaled back on it today. :-( That's your moment -- shine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newseditor44 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I feel horrible for the kids in Spirit. This show design has the right intention but is just so poorly put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Pretty sure it's a recording. I've not seen a close up of a vocalist in any of the broadcasts Too bad. If it was a live singer, I could almost forgive them for not doing it as a brass solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofmon88 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I feel horrible for the kids in Spirit. This show design has the right intention but is just so poorly put together. At least there's a Spirit to march in this year. It came so close to folding in the off season. They're recovering, and doing well for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
