Just wait. 2) The judges just hate XXX corps! 3) I can't believe that score (too high or too low) 4) Theater was empty | packed | full of annoying high schoolers 5) The sound was too low. 6) D### Rondo and Delucca are getting old. (add on your own) " It was a good showing by all the Corps for such an early season show " " I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of XYC Corps " I really liked XYZ's show " ( I guess I'm not as cynical as you, but thats cool too. DCP'ers are entitled to be cynical of others, or other Corps if thats their nature too, as well ) Edited June 16, 2018 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see both positive and negative assessments at equal measures on here re. other fans, other Corps, DCI, judges, fans own favorite Corps successes, failings, etc. Edited June 16, 2018 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Judging from the 3 hornlines I've heard so far, we are in for one HELL of a season. I can't WAIT! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brassdude6171 Posted June 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2018 Well, it's still Saturday somewhere, right? Anyway, as promised... 12. Mandarins – Headed in the right direction for the past five years or so, Mandarins took a huge step in 2017 contending for the last finalist spot. I’m loving the design behind this year’s program “Life Rite After,” especially in terms of telling a story that hasn’t been told before. That’s not something we see very often in this activity, and I trust this group to put the passion in necessary to tell it right. 11. Blue Stars – When I first was introduced to the activity in 2014, the Blue Stars tricked me into thinking that they’d be one of my favorites going forward with “Side Show.” They still are yet to produce a program that has caught my attention to that extent since then, and I really am not into the direction this show is going, especially the uniforms. Just not a fan. 10. Crossmen – It honestly pains me to have the Crossmen so low. I really love what they’re doing with their show so far this year – even if I don’t understand it yet. I just think that there isn’t enough difficulty to vault into a single-digit spot. 9. Blue Knights – A very disappointing program for me. I described myself hours ago to someone as a “Blue Knight fan to a fault” because of believing in Denver becoming a powerhouse after 2014 and 2015 and seeing the downturn they’re on now. 8. Cadets – Sans George, the Cadets are starting to find their footing, but it’s too little, too late to compete with what the top 7 is putting out on the field. 7. Phantom Regiment – I’ve already spoken glowingly about how “This New World” makes me feel. I love love love the use of the “Largo” movement from the symphony and the section features – tenor battery and trombone especially – blow me away. 6. Bluecoats – And here is where the bloodbath starts. 6th place in 2018 does not say anything about how good or bad the Bluecoats are. It says everything about how unbelievably good the top 5 is. I have confidence in the design for the 2018 Bluecoats, but I don’t have confidence in the talent matched up against who I have in the top 5. 5. Carolina Crown – The buzz around the top of DCI this year, and seemingly every year now, is that everyone is great, it just depends on your design. In this case, visual design will absolutely kill Crown’s chance at a fourth straight medal. Convolution will not be acceptable anymore. 4. Cavaliers – Cavies are back to their vintage style with the modern influence and man oh man is it fun to watch. They were the first group to give me chills this year just by a visual move, and I’ve seen a lot already. It’ll be fun to see how high they can pull this show – for me, it’ll all depend on individual visual achievement. 3. Boston Crusaders – What can I say about Boston that hasn’t already been said? Their music is unbelievable and supposedly the visual package is even better. We’ll see if the members can provide the necessary stamina to pull off that breathtaking ending. 2. Blue Devils – There just isn’t enough in “Dreams + Nighthawks” to get a gold this season. Their closer is about the only thing that feels gold-worthy to me. 1. Santa Clara Vanguard – I can’t wait to enjoy the full package of “Babylon.” Everything Vanguard does is done for a reason in their music and visual departments and this year, that reason is to win. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
