In HS I was a big band nerd (obviously) and designed a show all about the moon--the closer was "Dragon Eclipse" about how people believed that an eclipse was a dragon swallowing the moon. Then Crown stole my ideas jk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not seeing this. Even the musical focal point (God Bless the Child) has been done by every corps except Phantom Regiment and Pioneer. However, wonderful show that I love. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Don-O Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Box5Opinion said: Out of the current top four drum corps (Santa Clara Vanguard, Blue Devils, Bluecoats and Crown, which show (show design, execution, engagement, complexity) is most innovative for the 2018 season? I don't understand the laser-like focus everyone seems to put on the idea of "innovative". It can be super well designed and performed without having to have re-envisioned what drum corps is. I agree with other posters about the way Vanguard uses and integrates the nesting stages as being innovative, but in reality the reason it is an effective show is thrilling music, a creative overall design package that integrates the visual with the music perfectly, tons of demand performed really cleanly, and a hell of a lot of confidence and swagger.

Popular Post PamahoNow Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 I really like the nesting stages of SCV. That is really special But for the most innovative addition to DCI has to be Bluecoats with their 154 unique costumes. Each performer is depicted a unique performer. And still (from a distance) they blend in so well. Just as Bluecoats of 2016 made a statement about the use of costumes, so I think we can say that 2018 will as well. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Excellence. That has always been SCV's innovation. And this season they're more excellenter than ever. So there. P.S. I like how we now have three threads going on the same topic. Edited August 7, 2018 by HockeyDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
