Ditto where I ended up. I almost felt like I was in the Friends of DCI seating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prop is brand new and was built specifically for this show. Even the flame is different. I think they actually sold the old props to some high school bands. I like the moment with the flame...heard some other ideas of it smoldering out...well that happened in LOTF... I guess it's just the idea of recycled ideas from last season that "some" are complaining...fire prop..spelling words on field...etc This DRILL though is 1 million times better than last season..no doubt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 This show has BIGNESS...you can tell it is designed for the HUGE stadiums...I don't get the same feeling from a few of the other shows...Bluecoats for example is an example of BIGNESS done right as well...

They did a lot of things two years in a row from 85-90. A fresher design might've helped them win the close matches in their 4 years as runner up.

BD has done some effects over and over. I think when trying to head toward the top one looks for setting new standards OR re- doing something making it new or fresh ( which sets new standards ) With that said, has that been done? I'll leave that for others to decide or discuss. Good Luck BAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
