I have a problem with the hypocrisy of telling people not to bash a corps and doing so in the next sentence over. Good try though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouserCD Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Allentown is what we called DCI East in 1978. There were prelims on Friday and Finals on Saturday. I also remember that we marched in a parade through town and also performed a standstill. It was the highlight of the "1st tour" for most of the corps. Madison won prelims, BD won Finals, and that was in 1978. Talk about longevity and a consistenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that dissonant show in 13 sounded exactly like the happy show in 15. That's not what I meant. What I meant is that the Blue Devils have a very distinct sound. Whether or not their music is happy and light, or dissident and dark, I can always tell that it is the Blue Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting perspective... I admit I am not expert and I'm very biased - but I don't get this. Of course, I'm listening on FloMarch so I don't have the best vantage point. Will have to see for myself in Indy. Edited August 5, 2017 by DCIdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try though I did not bash another corps. You misunderstood my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try though I read his post and i read his later post explaining it. I don't think he bashed another corps, and I think you are smart enough to understand that if you want to be fair.

But now i get what you are saying. BD does have a very distinct sound and if i was blindfolded i think i could tell if it was BD or another corps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frachel Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Normally I get seats up top for Allentown, but ever since the stadium design pushing the field ~15 yards or so further away from the audience I find the volume just isn't there when sitting high (except for power chords), so this time I got seats lower.. smack on the 50, row 24.. and the difference? Still can't hear the horns, but this time due to the old "thunderous goo" and amped pit. I'm a horn guy.. I know what they're playing, and have listened to lot and rehearsal vids, played along with transcriptions.. and I could barely hear the stuff I know is there. One of the of the final 3 corps, can't remember which at the moment, when they turned front and started playing i could barely tell there was a hornline.. but my seat was rumbling from the bass on the synth I can tell you that. You can heard power chords, or when the put and syth aren't playing (rarely), but that was it. Maybe my ears are old, but my 17 year old daughter felt the same. It's tiring hearing the "but its designed for Lucas oil with the super high, far away box".. this isn't Lucas Oil.. how about designing for the 20+ shows for the fans all year as well? You'd think in 10+ years they'd figure out how to balance the volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
