Ms.L Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Kudos to Regiment and Blue Knights for helping out SCV with meals today. It does not surprise me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t watched any other corps’ videos so I can’t compare it to anyone in their scoring bloc. I don’t really notice a through line to follow. Design just doesn’t do anything for me. I can tell it was designed by someone who works with HS bands. The show kinda just stays one note. And yet it currently sits at 8th place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRomoter Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think the comments on the 2013 show are hilarious, in a good way. I remember when everyone was hating on that show - big time. The witch was particularly hated. Funny how time changes things. Also, just watched the St. Louis show - wow - what a difference. I think we could see a substantial push and improvement between now and Indy. This show is not my cup of tea, but I am glad they are improving. The look on some of their faces at the end is priceless. That’s what it’s all about. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m particularly fond of Swan Lake which I remember was also pretty unpopular on here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 For me, Regiment's shows get better with time by comparison. 2014 wasn't great, but compared with, say, 2016, it's solid. I felt the same with some of BD's shows prior to 2014. I didn't especially like 2009, but when compared to 2010... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember around this time last summer they had added most of their final changes to the show besides the kick halt at the end. I will be seeing them at the North Texas show tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing the show live! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All brass except tubas, I think, wind up on the tarp at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is awesome news! I was hoping that they would include it for this show, even if it is a modified version of it. There was too much downtime during the drum break at the end with the brass standing still waiting to hit the final chord. I'm just glad I don't have to wait until August and Quarterfinals to see it! I'm concerned with the amount of space they will have to work with (the tarp) tomorrow at CH Collins Stadium for the North Texas show, it is notoriously small with little to no space between the sideline and concrete wall where the front row seats are located. There is barely enough room for the front ensemble no room for a full-sized drum major podium, and I remember several drum majors had to conduct from the stands over the years. This can also greatly impact the visibility of the performers up front on the tarp from the stands. Their horns will be blasting right in front of the wall, and might have to angle them to the press box! Photo for reference: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
