henry7184 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 What a performance tonight. I love this show more and more with each passing day, and I will never know what it's about and I don't care. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Not really understanding why PR was scored higher yesterday. GE wise there is a lot more going on in BK's show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color guard judge slapped BK upside the head. Rated them 13th. GE1 and 2 judges split. BK beat PR decisively in all of music. http://recaps.competitionsuite.com/27bab4af-bd0d-414f-8ebe-501fe59fae8d.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK makes the theme quite clear in my i / I / eye. ;-) Edited July 24, 2017 by Mycroft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2kidsindrumcorpsnomoney4me Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just came back from volunteering with them, and what an experience. The mm's are so into that show. Their best performance this past week was the Houston TOC show. They came out on fire after the rain delay. It would have been so easy to lose the energy going into a delayed start. There were a few hiccups on Saturday - electronics on snare solo and mellophone solo. One or two over enthusiastic members coming in a quarter beat too soon in Hide and Seek. Still, a solid performance. The staff there are awesome. Sure they criticize when it is needed, but I have never heard so many compliments to the members, followed by instruction on how to make it even better. It is such a positive but challenging environment to grow as a performer. To be honest, I wonder if the judges, particularly the guard judge(s), are not sure what to do with them in some cases. Brass line members are spinning flags and have choreography that is more guard like than most corps. Although I did hear (second/third hand - grain of salt) that a visual judge this past week indicated they were not doing ENOUGH choreography! Like I said, grain of salt, but I heard it from multiple mm's. I know there are changes coming. That being said, I love this show (and not just because my daughter is aging out there). Every year one show sticks with me, and this is it. Can't wait to see where it goes! Going to be tough using Flo Marching between now and Indy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycroft Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thank you for helping take care of the kids. I've never been able to volunteer, but with a 2 year BK vet in the family I sure do appreciate all of you who can. I tip my hat to every one of you. It's good to get a perspective from someone "on the ground", so to speak. I agree that the judges probably have a hard time scoring the guard because the guard and the rest of the corps are so tightly integrated. We'll just have to wait and see if the judges can adapt or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
