DrumManTx Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Blue Knights were one of my favorite corps in 2014 and 2015, and while the corps has gotten even better, I feel like the musical side of things has continued to progress and the visual side of things has stagnated and maybe even taken a few steps back. I just feel like the OBVIOUS talent they have is not getting utilized. I'm also getting sick of seeing the exact same ending every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjordansc Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 This show may be out there, but I find it far more interesting than the Cadets production. I also think they place ahead of Boston when they meet up. This feels like the sixth place show this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCWVUFAN Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Knights guard is somewhat clumsy in execution, but the rest of the corps is very close for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) I hope nobody is napping on BK. That is one #### good drum corps. Edited July 16, 2017 by Terri Schehr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrunyon1 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 OK. I predict a medel for this corps in the near future. That is an opinion that I am making based on there last several seasons and on the fact that when they deliver, man, can they deliver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK is one of those corps that completely blows me away in some ways, and in other ways, the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 1 minute ago, Musicman1084 said: I have so many questions regarding Blue Knights' guard, but it can be summed up with one word: Why? Why are they not costumed to distinguish themselves more from the corps proper and allow themselves to draw visual interest? Why the need for a costume change that looks EXACTLY the same as the prior costume? Why are they carting around those vertigo-inducing circular props and mirrors for SO much of the show, rather than adding more effective movement and equipment work? They should at least upgrade the guard team over the offseason, if not the whole visual design team. I don't mind their show designs being weird. What I do mind is sacrificing competency in a category for the weirdness. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 As with last year, BK finishes and I'm thinking, "That was really well done! But what the hell did I just watch?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 There's no accounting for taste, but I for one love that BK is willing to push the envelope in terms of design. I recognize that there are problems with the visual design, and the guard needs a lot of work, but to say it was incomprehensible is just absurd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you gave this corps a REALLY good visual team, and I'm talking guard, design, drill, everything.......there is your next new champion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
