Drum Corps at the Rose Bowl - July 1, 2017


Recommended Posts

The show is hard, I'm not denying that...  but here are a few of my problems.

The opener is way too slow, and everything sounds wayyy too pithcy with the brass facing back field.  It just seems to drag..  The same thing can be said for the Carmen part.  It just drags on and on for me.

I also feel like the color guard adds soooo little to the show besides being whimsical...  I get that that's kind of Academy's thing now, but the CG didn't catch my eye for spinning until the closer.

However, still a good show and a great group of performers.  We'll see what I think later in the season.

Yes, but only for a second or two in each case.

Oh boy, don't bring this back up. :unsure:

Was there a fight about this?

I mean, objectively, scores change all the time in a partial vs. full panel depending on the absent captions.

This crowd tonight is electric. Very enthusiastic at the smallest details.

I don't know if Academy can save their show.

I wound personally like if their own line could "SEE" the 22 sexy rabbits out on the field next to them..  They don't make any eye contact or acknowledge "Look a rabbit and we are hunting/love them".

I have no problems with a fun show, and Academy's is exactly that.

Go back to the Hamilton thread. Your answer is there.
