San Diego, CA - June 29, 2018


Recommended Posts

I love the opener from Troopers, the combination of the music with how the full finds into the arrow pointing west is great. Not a fan of the uniform change (something just looks awkward sit the jacketless uniform), and that's hopefully a temporary closer, cause it currently sort of abruptly ends. They are very clean both musically and visually for end of June.

According to the schedule, the Blue Knights and their full show are about to hit the field for the first time this season.

Will SCV be doing theirs as well? They made it sound like they were debuting it tomorrow, but I feel like a run tonight would be beneficial.

Finally got to see Pacific Crests full show since I missed sneak preview. The show feels like an evolution upon last year style wise. Trumpet quartet during the tap dancing section is solid, and get some good Madison-esque screaming going during a park and bark. Beautiful ballad with a euph small ensemble and mello soloist. Great closer too with some explosive drill. Wish they were louder, they sound so good but are noticeably quieter than Mandarins/Troopers. Also, first pc wave drill set since 2013, great to see the return of that.

Full show from BK tonight. That show is much more cohesive when you can see all the details in the uniforms and props. New cost included full hornline + guard choreo to a sun obelisk in the back right of the field, into a closing push. This show has grown on me, but visual dirt is going to let Mandarins stay close.

Full show from SCV also, that new closer is fire. This show has also grown on me, again with details that just aren't picked up on the broadcast. That baritone duet on the ballad is great, and the crowd ate up the trumpet screamers. This show is going to be incredible and BD has their work cut out for them.

 

Also love how versatile the props are, they almost seamlessly set up all these stages to feature moments. A few issues tonight though with pushing parts together though

 Good competition taking place between a surging Mandarins and the Blue Knights here in the early going of 2018.
