Or have your brass stop and do a bunch of double/triple tonguing or maybe a bunch of runs.... whether they fit the rest of the show or not. Notes=points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner doesn't get added to a similar thread. On the 29th, Boston beat all the other guards that competed tonight. Maybe the story behind the story will be discussed soon. 1 1 1 1 I would be surprised if that would EVER happen with M. Turner . No need for a thread dedicated or questioning his integrity in the activity. BUT never say never. I've never seen any form of bias with him .He could care less who is supposed to win or not.

Notes=points. This has been my thoughts for several years. I doubt most source music doesn't play like that. Right up there with gymnastic moves and anything else that has nothing to do with the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbandguy Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 49 minutes ago, MikeRapp said: I’d like to hear some judges’ tapes on Session 44. Someone here said, Oh there’s too much follow the leader again — to which I say BS. There’s almost NO follow the leader in this show. I get that Crown wows the judges with their tonal consistency, but that should t keep them this close to medaling. There is no way this should be considered one of the best three shows of the season. Has anyone other than Bloo, BD and SCV been top 3? (in head to head match ups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus far those are the only two. Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THAT CHOCOLATE!!!!! Your '84 line was DEFINITELY no pushover.....but you could #### well push over every #### thing in your PATH LOL..... AWESOME sound that year along with '87..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Awesome night of drum corps. Vanguard is something special this year. What an absolute treat to see them live. Wow. No idea where and what the guard judge was doing tonight, but it wasn’t anywhere near Talen Energy Stadium watching drum corps. posted from the DrumScorps app 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be mighty tough for SCV to take every caption/sub-caption going forward..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManNJ Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 2 hours ago, MikeRapp said: From the general look of things, the top four are set. Give or take, a full point now separates first, second, third and fourth. Instead of gaps closing, gaps here have solidified over the last two weeks. The drama will be whether Boston can overtake Cavaliers for fourth. They are essentially tied heading to Indy. Gaps between Crown and Bloo continue to close. And I assume you mean the battle for 5th. Agree the top four seam to be set. The battle for the final medal spot is still ongoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafstedac Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just got home from the show, WOW, what a great venue. Amazing shows. Not sure who is going to stop SCV they are incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
