I think Drew did a much better job with Bridge Over Troubled Water than Academy. That being said, I'm inclined to believe that the staff chose the ballad and designed the rest of the show to fit. I think this because the staff were itching to program in a Simon & Garfunkel piece after Sound of Silence was cut from the 2018 program. Not the best way to design a show me thinks lol.

I guess it's all just a little bit of history repeating... I agree. You in particular called it. I guess I'm the "eternal optimist" I'd also add - I *thought* it in April and *said* it in July Guess I'm a bit more guarded - once I heard the music from the April camp I was very concerned in terms of show arc / transitions and arrangement The members remain terrific. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is a building year and we can see some return to excellence in the years to come! I'm just here to collect the karma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLBuzcut Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I could tolerate the over baked concept if there were more musically and visually to grasp onto. I know there are only 3 weeks left but I would love to see some minor drill additions and remove some if the lunging and hopping and snarling, and clean the heck out of the music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwoody Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Crowns done a good job of some old and new drill. Maybe Cadets can look into something like that next year. Some awesome music and no voice, singing, skipping and jumping. Some innovative props and modernize the maroon and gold uniforms. Need to regain their tradition somewhat. They have the talent to handle just about anything thrown at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see them with a blue tarp during part of the song. (If not a tarp, something blue.) Maybe blue streamers a-la-BD 2016? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
