lowend Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Eddy Falcon has got to be the coolest name in drum corps. I totally imagined a film noir detective first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Flat Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I’m stunned by the lack of a very high caliber guard caption head. I also think they need to re-evaluate the choreography individual as his work in 2018 left a lot to be desired. I honestly don’t know what to think about this set of additions other than I’ll have to wait and see. I feel like Rick Subel is on his last leg this season if it’s worst or on par with 2018. As a crown homer, I am truly underwhelmed but hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newseditor44 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is a MUCH improved guard staff that should draw some talent and have a much better and more unified approach to their visual program. Excited to see where this group take the corps next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
