I have to imagine it's going to get a lot of TLC. The stair props need work, integration-wise, and it just needs more visual coherence. Musically I think they're much closer. So I expect we'll see the bulk of the changes visually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony L. Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 So BD has a cool opening, a great ensemble sound and some nice moments, but on the whole, this show seemed a little lacking to me. I do love the throwback ballad, they should have just stood in a concert arc to really complete the effect. And if Crown is looking for what "deconstruction" looks and sounds like for the end of their show, just watch BD. And exactly how many drum breaks were there in this show? But, all of that being said, I think they win it all this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my tastes: Visual - SCV ahead of BD Musial- BD ahead of SCV Percussion: SCV ahead of BD Guard: BD ahead of SCV Overall: BD will come out slight ahead of SCV tonight, but not by much. Agree but there are some very difficult things BD is doing drill wise that they make look easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown has it at times but BD and Bluecoata just overwhelm you with one big, singular sound. The contrast between BD brass and Phantom is scary. That ballad, yes they aren't marching a single step...but holy hell what a sound! I'll disagree. Crown most certainly has a wonderful sound that is on par or even better than these two. It's just what one likes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshClements403 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 You can really see the Michael Gaines influence in SCV's show this year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think they have the best brassline in the activity.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
