Prsmpower4 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 9 hours ago, SFZFAN said: Not sure what you meant here but this is the first year I can remember ever truly completely disliking a Madison show. Even relampago was better than this even though I hated those uniforms as well. . Relampago was not even close to this show. Now, with that said, this show is not close to being a fan favorite...but it is ballsy (if that's appropriate) and I appreciate that. Hopefully they can grow from this. Also...I think it's odd that there aren't many videos on YouTube. Don't know if that's meaningful in any way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcityscout Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm curious as to why so many people don't like thus show? Is it the type of music, costume, theme or what? I like the innovative costumes, I love dissonant, powerful music. I personally think every now and then there needs to be a change from the typical beautiful, sweet, and melodic butterflies and sunshine. Gotta appreciate the villains and bad boys every now and then. Just my personal opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me personally I wasn't seeing what I was hearing - the music didn't sound "savage" enough with the image they were trying to portray. The last I saw the show was on flomarching at Night Beat, so they've improved some since. The show seemed to be plagued with the same issues many in the lower 12 and lower range and meanders a little bit despite the talent. I was on the half that liked the costumes, but you really gotta sell it or it's just playing dress up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just don't like 12 minutes of the same feel...It just feels like 12 minutes of angry to me, but the show has grown on me a ton in the last week.

He told us with the classical opener, white Eisenhower uniforms, different visual program, etc. the scores didn't truly reflect the uniqueness of that show. He said that in the future the recordings and videos would bare witness to the innovation of that show. I feel the same about the 2017 Scouts. History will show regardless of placement that this show was one of the most innovative shows in DCI for 2017. Granted some people may not like the theme, music, etc. But everyone is different and has different tastes. Personally I love this show! In my opinion it was a shock to the system and under appreciated. Bravo Madison!!! 2017 Trailblazers!!! No matter what anyone does there will always be naysayers. Just stay above the fray and do what ever is necessary for the times or you will no longer be relevant, period! Sorry Dude, 11 min of angry does nothing. no real highs or lows. The costume up close is really cool. However, from the stands looks all brown with a little yellow. pretty much camouflage. I love the Scouts, but this show is just OK at best. How do they carry that costume for next year? Another 11 min of angry? or scrap and go new direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really grown on me a lot throughout the season. I will probably watch all of finals, but I'm probably only watching Madison and SCV during semis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
