Geneva 75 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 1 minute ago, Beckham said: Are Mandarins the first corps since the legalization of trombones to actually have a trombone section that marches the whole show? Rather than bari/euph players just picking them up at some point. Fits their weird theme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cappybara 11,597 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Like I said before, this Mandarins show really tries to capture a mood. I can see why that may come off as horn accompaniment with guard as the main feature. Those soloists are really what drive the first half of the show, but that’s because they are very closely following their source music. I honestly think this is one of the most musically entertaining shows this year though. Not a dull moment 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POSITIVenrgy 851 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Mandarins= GE-orama! And for me, start to finish eye candy. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluesman 1,003 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 No other corps looks or sounds like Mandarins. They are carving out a place in finals that is unique and original. I absolutely love this corps. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KVG_DC 7,380 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I really like how the battery sections move on that stage for their features. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KVG_DC 7,380 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 That entry to close True Colors as the stilts guy picks up the color cube is great. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
