cfirwin3 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I couldn't wait to play the on field warm-up when I started at Bluecoats... only to find out that it would be the first year that we would stop doing it!!!! This was before corps stopped doing it all together. We asked someone on staff why we were skipping the warm up session and we were told: "Our goal is to let the audience have everything we have on the first hit without broadcasting our power" We bought the explanation and never looked back. It seemed to work that year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoakes Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Whats missing? 1. Precision guard work - you know - marching and not prancing 2. Loud in your face hornlines 3. Unplugged ###### performances without gimmicks. I don't so much mind some of the choreography. But I agree there really is way too much prancing. Gratuitously, it seems. Every tough spin or toss seems to be followed by a fake-smile, circus-like nod to the crowd. (Now after the Blooo wink, followed by the Academy wink and smirk, we're going to be overdosing on that sort of thing next summer.) Also agree what's missing: Plenty of company fronts, but little of it translates to in-your-face horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Charley Poole wanted 27 snares for the Alumni corps performance at the First Foxboro DCI, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I loved retreat as a marching member. The fans did too. Pagentry was one of the great aspects of drum corps show BITD. Its a shame that the current marching members & fans are deprived of this great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
