MikeN Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Saw blue Stars up close the other night. This show is way more complex than they’re given credit for - they’re just performing the heck out of it. Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give it to the Cadets now this year. Wait, what did they do??? I thought the closer was perfect as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStainGlass Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Much cleaner opener than in the past but still some bootie phasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorWay Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just so the guard isn't wearing the same uniforms as the hornline… they should all dress like Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizazzman Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Something I keep noticing is that after all these years of amplifying the front ensemble and soloists, is nobody has gotten the balance between amplified and acoustic sounds right on a consistent basis. Most noticeable is that the FE almost always too loud in soft moments (backfield or piano hornline dynamics and solos). Aside from any issues with musicality is the fact that it distracts from the music and show and brings attention to the technology because it sounds so unnatural. Unless the intent is to present an electronic voice of some sort or feature the FE, the overall balance and effect should mimic that of an acoustic ensemble sound. The technology shouldn’t draw attention to itself unless the desired effect requires it in a specific moment. I havent been on the design and education side of the activity for a few years now, but I would love to see DCI bring in som big time sound designers from other activities and provide more workshop opportunities for designers and staff that are accessible for all corps in order to better integrate the electronics (and other tech). I know some similar things have been done when the directors meet in the off-season, but I would love to see more extensive high level professional development opportunities for staff members from all corps and think it would really elevate the activity and experience for performers and audiences alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
