DrumManTx Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Colts have a beautiful show musically, but I can see how they are sitting in 16th. The boxes readability isn't what I have an issue with, it's the moving of them and space they take up that's an issue for me. I feel like if the effort and energy expended into those was used else where, they could have scored higher. Obviously strong drill writer with a serious task writing around those things. Percussion, ESPECIALLY next to Blue Devils B as well, they're strong, but when corps are close in other captions, all it takes is one thing for a corps to place above you. BDB was 12th in on field percussion and in Visual Analysis yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 That's one point of view, and your experience has no doubt served you well. One other point of view is that some of these OC corps have no intention of staying is OC forever. DCI needs to find a way to allow these corps a chance when they think they are ready, without having to beat BDB (and make finals) to prove that they can hold their own with WC. They shouldn't have to beat 1/2 of WC to prove that they have what it takes to join the old boys club. I'm not sure placement is that big a factor in applying to move up. Ability to commit to a full tour and draw some ticket buyers means more. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmello Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 they seriously need to review the organization of the league if an open class corps is going to go any higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Sorry, back on topic - I've liked BDB's shows more than BDA's for a while now. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 You think THAT is bad? Here's a video of my Marching Band (he said MARCHING BAND on a Drum Corps website! Crucify Him!) at our last competition from last year. We had a Spanish Themed show, and the announcer was the worst thing ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbVR3ieowGM (and if you'd like to you could watch the entire thing to make me happy) Heh. Announcers have it rough. My senior year in high school we had an announcer totally butcher one of our DMs names. She responded to the "is your band ready?" By snapping around and hollering, "It's pronounced _____!" Then back to ready as the head DM started us off. It was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I asked this yesterday and did not get an answer, did Blue Devils B get a new guard caption head? They are miles better than I ever remember them being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 BDB's Pearl drums sound SO MUCH better than the A corps POS System Blue drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
