Musicman1084 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually really enjoy the vocalist in the ballad. It's the Akiho piece that I don't enjoy, and it's not because of the singing... I'm just not a big fan of Akiho's work. All the same, I think she does a fine job and I certainly love hearing that ballad as-is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they can doesn't mean they should and if the singer needs the front ensemble for support well nuf said. Not a lot, but as others have said, that's a talented corps. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do. Thought that was kinda clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrumManTx Posted July 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2017 Ok, something everyone liked from each show, and go: Carolina Crowns opener sounds amazeballs. Bluecoats ballad in this sitting was magical, if they can match that on the field it's gonna be amazing. Cavaliers hornline sounds the best it has in years, opener was awesome. Boston Crusaders show on every level musically sounds organic and cohesive down to how the voiceovers lay. And how their singer is orchestrated/layered into the brass shows a vocal soloist can work in drum corps. Blue Stars brass on a fundemental level is what my ideal marching brass sound is. Amazingly balanced, controlled, in tune, low supported, and just AWESOME. Madison Scouts show had the intensity and emotion that it was missing in the first video I saw. That opening fanfare was awesome, if they can match that intensity on the field they're set to return to the top 12. Troopers whole show is a musical treat, front ensemble is SUPER tasty, and Nessun Dorma is gonna be a musical highlight of the summer for me. Pioneer is playing music we all know with their own unique fun twist. Great singer. Music City has a very strong show for OC, ballad was a big highlight for me. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, they did cut part of the vocalists lines in the ballad... I doubt more will be cut but they are giving the brass some room to show off some finesse.

DCImonkey Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Awful lot of Simon Cowell's up in here sitting by their laptops with chromatic tuners lol I haven't heard any vocals that I haven't liked this year other than that guy talking in Cavies shows about his selfie. That's just dumb 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I still can't help but to think that Cown has something up their sleeve yet with the deconstruction theme that will make us all go, "Oh!" when it's there. It's obvious to me that the singing, and perhaps even some of the dissonance of it MIGHT have meaning to the theme. The issue is, even when it 'makes sense' will it be compelling enough to get us past the early perceptions and experiences of it? And if there isn't, and it never clicks, then will we be scratching our heads at it wondering what it could have been? I'm still sort of doing that over BK last year.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
