drumcorpsfever Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) On this day, and after (trying) to watch last night on FLO: (what they need to do) 1. SCV (layer, layer, layer) the corps I loved as a youth. 2. Crown (layer, turn up the last 1/3 a notch, color guard continued growth) My hope to win. 3. BD (whatever BD always does - surprise us). 4. Bloo (clean, continued development of the ballad, clean the feet -white works the best when you move like a machine ) Also my hope to win. 5. BAC (don't stop working) 6. Cavaliers (finish the ending - no live vocalist singing "My Way") 7. Cadets (stop adding to your show - clean it and make what you have work) 8. Blue Knights (minimalist props nice, but need more visual) 9. Phantom (enough with the fantasy - we get it) clean that brass book 10. Blue Stars (haven't seen you in a while, sorry) 11. Crossmen (tone down the synth, contninue cleaning that brass) 12. Madison (visual appealing - enough there - need a clean brass book to get back into finals) 13. Mandarins (haven't seen you, but looking forward to it) Edited July 20, 2017 by drumcorpsfever 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well rounded corps. I just believe crown performs better with what they have. 5th: Cavies - Another solid and fun show from the green machine. 6th: BAC - Wow, such an improvement, they really sound more like the Cadets than the cadets themselves this year! 7th: Cadets - Oh George... 8th: BK - dare I say TOO esoteric? 9th: Phantom - Honestly have not gotten a good read yet but I have heard that their brassline is weaker. 10th: Blue Stars - A very nicely executed BOA show. 11th: Crossmen - Sorry... 12th: Mandarins - Will there be a new trend of a first time finalist corps claiming a finals spot every year? 13th: Madison 14th: Colts 15th: Academy 16th: BDB 17th: Troopers 18th: Spirit 19th: SCVC 20th: Genesis 21st: Pacific Crest 22nd: OC 23rd: Cascades 24th: Music City 25th: Legends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afd Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Nice try. If BD's has the weakest visual content then why in 2nd? Makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say, though they do not March a lot in the show, their is a LOT of choreography that goes very unnoticed, and that has to go with the progression of DCI. In my opinion doing dance choreography while playing is just as difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, this may well be the best fourth place show in DCI history. Right now, though I don't agree at all, it appears Coats will be left out. But when this show moves to an indoor arena, with 40,000 people cheering, you never know what impact that will have. The ballad disappears outdoors; Indoors, it will resonate around the stadium as the closer to Into the Light did. BD SCV Crown Coats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
