KVG_DC Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just a really weird ending. They have some great things going in this show. The guard styling is outstanding, and the dancing is as good as it gets. Just not a very well conceived show; Feels like it just...stops. Ever have that dream where everything is weird and then someone has a light on and you just... Wake up? I think that's what they're going for but it feels wrong on the field without some sort of denouement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmello Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 normally not a huge Phantom fan, but I really like the show this year! I feel it is one of the most well-balanced across captions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If you're doing a Phantom Regiment anniversary show, you HAVE to have Shostakovich in there. This particular selection is very majestic and fits Phantom perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappybara Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 UGH THAT OPENING HIT GETS ME EVERYTIME. They sound so much like the Phantom regiment of the mid 2000's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStainGlass Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Man, do the Boston Crusaders know how to put on late season surges. They could have packed it in after being in 14th, and so far behind the Madison Scouts in 12th at the San Antonio Regionals, but there is no quit in them. Just no quit. What an inspiring effort from BAC. They EARNED it tonite, as that performance from them was their best of the season. Just when it was needed. Congrats to Academy. Well deserved Finals. What a wonderfully designed & fun show If there is a better 13th place Corps in DCI history than than the 2016 Madison Scouts, I don't know who that might be. Its regrettable that only one of the great trifecta Corps of BAC, Madison, Troopers could make it in this year. Any 3 could have done it . But Boston stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park earlier tonite to nail it down, imo. 2012 blue stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Huge build into the push of Chairman Dances! And a nice little spin turn, though not on the move. '93, anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
