Props have been around forever, they're just now required to get that Box 5 score, which is why everyone is using them. Same with the rest. Used to be if you wanted to make a train sound, you'd play around with some acoustic percussion instruments until you found something that matched and approximated the sound you wanted ( creative). Now you just download a train patch ( not creative). Agreed and well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go see Cadets thread tonight for further info. Edited June 23, 2017 by Cop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry7184 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 According to Komnick, this show as a whole matches in difficulty the Scouts' 2014 production, “Time Trip,” which he considers the most challenging show that's been fielded in his time with the corps. ---> This was an interesting comment, because I'm not sure I see much difficulty in the 2014 show, at least visually, which is why it stalled and was passed up to finish 11th. Anyone have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any thoughts? Musically, it was incredibly difficult. I saw the show in theaters that year and I remember one of the broadcasters saying that one of the pieces of source music was in 33/16 time, which is just ridiculous. I still love listening to the show because of that hornline, but I can't bring myself to watch it because the drill was poorly written. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madcityscout Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Musically was probably what he was eluding to there. But I am curious about the new visual team. They have a new drill writer and brought over several people from the BD organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother marched in that hornline and he agrees with that sentiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
