I thought BD's brass was unbeatable... </sarcasm> Okay, so judges don't think that SCV brass is half bad this year. They actually won the music caption and they were very close everywhere else. Just wanted to reiterate. SCV's brass is as good as any other corps this season. Just saying. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaltrogge Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, DrumManTx said: I think Blue Knights are a top tier corps in brass and percussion with a mid tier music book and a 10th - 12th visual program. Completely agree. Without some pretty major changes, their overall visual score is going to kill them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you beat BD in brass at successive shows, you have a pretty good chance of your brass line landing top 3 - provided that continues, of course. No small feat to beat BD in any caption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have been vulnerable before! It hasn't changed their approach. Certainly, but I mean in the context of what I keep hearing this year: "BD's show is going to continue to "morph" the rest of the year!" People make it sound as though its going to be more than the usual changing and tweaking that happens to programs (including BD's) and is going to be a more full-blown sweeping change from top to bottom over the year. My point is only that if that's the case, it's a pretty high risk/reward proposition, since a total overhaul needs practice time, and they don't have the point cushions they've had before. I referenced 2014 because that's the most recent example of BD having an insurmountable lead so laughably huge, you could drive a truck through it, and thus they had a lot of house money to play with and could have conceivably changed anything they wanted without too much worry about loss of performance points. A year like this, where suddenly SCV is back within a point, and Bluecoats are a legit threat now, it's a riskier play.

Chief Guns Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 So what is SCV's score? 74.05 or 73.80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland1 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Scv ge has cut the gap in half from stanford to today. Scv visual program will be fantastic when clean, i can definitely see them catching bd here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, Musicman1084 said: Completely agreed. Posted my thoughts earlier in the thread, but think it's a combination of things. The choreography with the props in general is just completely lackluster, and the props they're using (mirrors, curved poles, etc) add nothing to the show. No real impactful moments in the show until the closer when the flags are wonderfully integrated into the corps proper and stand out. Also very difficult to provide any visual interest when you have nothing distinguishing you from the corps proper - costumes look exactly the same. Knights need to stop trying so hard with esoteric show concepts. Their best show maybe ever was That One Moment. Why not grow that direction? Mirrors and eyeballs and plastic sticks are just silly and visually busy. I so want them to challenge the top tier but it will never happen with GE scores so low. In Nashville last year it was embarrassing how tepid the reaction was to their show. Why continue to waste so much talent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
