Anything more rhythmically interesting than a quarter note is played by the small ensemble (which is admittedly also spread fairly far). Crown's Akiho is not as intricate as Bluecoats' Thank You Scientist or Zappa; sure, the baris have a very difficult ostinato (wait, is this a dirty word? It sure seemed to be last year), and some 3/8 bars thrown in, but any rhythmic challenges are soli or tutti, where Bluecoats' brass book has inter-section hocket rhythms and more complicated tuplets than any other brassline is playing this year. I'm just gonna let you rant. I enjoy the show, but at the end of the day they just don't have the execution to make up for the difficulty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would add that that subtext is more clear than what BD and SCV are trying to bring, albeit more literal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I think the toughest drill is the cavies. So now I'm blind because I don't agree with you. If anything the coats fans are the ones that have proven to be haters. I like all the corps. It seems like a lot of you really don't care as long as BD loses. This 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see gestures and somewhat tacky costuming that evokes Fosse but to what end? Concept doesn't appeal to me after 2 minutes visually. Musical is another topic story, I'll listen to it in the car for daze!!! I realize it's my opinion and I'm sitting on it! Im not gay, but can I like musical theatre? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mere presence of the singer deconstructs what our preconceived notions of drum corps should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
