ThePlanets Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Finally saw a good video of this show (Memphis). Personally- other than the uniforms and the overuse of props- I absolutely love it. I don't think it quite has the visual punch of the corps currently in the 4-6 bracket but musically this is so juicy. I think it's one of the best, if not the best, hornline they have ever fielded.

Definitely one of the best hornlines SCV has fielded. They produce such a full sound it’s amazing.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of their sound is enhanced by electronics? Have never heard a contra line sound like theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Well here's where I'm at midseason: The first 3 Minutes lose me. No exciting visuals, no musical phrase to latch onto. From 3 minutes in until the end of the ballad is a religious experience. Especially that 2nd movement good lord I haven't heard anything like it, so so good. The individual and ensemble talent is off the charts. The closer loses me. I've heard there are changes to come in that department so Ill wait for that. I just hope they do something with the opener to make it more entertaining because it currently feels like a drag on the show and makes it hard for first time viewers to get into the show at all Edited July 16, 2019 by Cappybara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickCogley Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I hope the guard can get a score bump with some cleaning and polishing. Apparently the visual will be enhanced soon and to me, it can't come soon enough. The unis on the corps proper just don't "pop" in my opinion. Observing the show from high cam, especially viewing an early season time lapse, it seems to me the drill is indeed cool. But it just doesn't look that way from an angle.

The last 2/3 of this show are gold medal worthy, but the first third may be their Achilles Heel. It just doesn't grab me, it seems to be missing the GE and artistry of the rest of the show.
