brassboy Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I can hear those girls' conversation more clearly than any of the corps. What are the chances the mics are pointed the wrong way? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 So glad there is sound for INT. Who cares what BD may have sounded like - or SCV for that matter. That INT is pretty good! I think they will win tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe being worked too hard? We'll never know, but tonight was not as effective as the last time I viewed them. I feel pretty bad after seeing/hearing this. I'm sure San Antonio will be much better. Cadets being overworked? Nahhhhhhhhhh I've never heard that before... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what San Antonio brings this weekend. Not throwing in the towel yet on the show but no arguing that tonight just wasn't good.

Sandonovan Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I can say one thing for certain: I am no fan of the Blue Knights uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cixelsyd Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Is the right side field mic facing the crowd instead of the field? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It totally creates an atmosphere, and the costumes work very well there. Good flow to the dril and it draws you in. Then it goes off the rails after that because they are trying so hard to be "about" something. Second section is not communicating. I guess it is "sin?" I know that because it says SINNER on the flags. Third section never regains momentum. It seems like way too long with too little happening. We've seen the "let's use gold and white to represent a happy, ascending ending" so many times now. They did it in 2011. Crown did it in 2015. The gigantic crosses on the props: I. Just. Can't. So over the top and being that literal is not needed. I agree, only I think the first 2/3rds of the show are pretty solid. The 2nd section has stuff they need to change, but it's a solid section with the snaking through the pews, the percussion jam, and the jazz shout. The 3rd second is the weakest. Let's see what they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
