BlueStainGlass Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I don't know how you like that show over the Cadets. I'll take the corps spinning things and the corps marching and playing over the standstill body and wiggle props. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I like the concept of BK's uniforms, but I don't think they are as effective as they should be in practice. Too much white. The different colors aren't coming across very well (at least they aren't on flo's crappy stream ... maybe they work better live). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooze Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Any thoughts on the lack of head coverings? (Other than Bloo's bowler hats)? I love the visibility of performer's faces and their ability to communicate better with the audience, but I feel like you can really see how young the performers are (I'm old... so that's not hard to understand). I feel like Phantom automatically looks more mature with those helmets on. Just curious what your thoughts are! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and it was ###### good at DATR) Their show is better than Cadets. I love the Cadets, don't get me wrong. And I like the first half of the show, even, but... Compared to everyone else, the design is... Ouchie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It just always feels like Blue Knights starts with the music, moves to arrangements, and then tries to figure out something for the guard to do...and then adds some props for them to carry around or flip over. There is no excuse for this from an organization as well managed as this one. Take a look at Boston and Academy and see how visual design can make your show work. i keep wanting Knights to step into the elite level. They just aren't going to ever get there with the way they insist on approaching show design. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems members really like this show. I've gotten that impression from them over the last few years. It is great to have succes in terms of placements, but I think the members and staff are also just really excited to be doing something unique and awesome that is unlike anyone else. I think it is a great strategy for them, and will only make them better by attracting more experienced members who want to be a part of what they are doing, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
