I think it must be a west coast thing! Playing uninteresting music, while showing off amazing individual and ensemble talent. Sounds great and performance is great.  And they usually win!  But I get up to go a drink while they play 😂 I can appreciate all of it. Just not my style I guess. 

You gotta drink while they play.  Makes everything great.

That closer (when finished) will be really special come finals night. Just gotta keep cleaning it. Definitely see this as a medal contender show. They can perform the heck out of it.

Oh please! The emperor has no clothes. The music is so annoying. 

Dude, it’s so obvious you’re biased against SCV.

Wouldn't be a JD Shaw show without a bunch of screaming mellos

They're performing the heck out of this show but man I can't get into it. This is like Ourobouros for me. Just a bunch of sameness. 

Give me shows like Babylon or Force of Nature 

At least (for me, anyway) Ouroboros had some emotional appeal to it due to it being their 50th anniversary, and it was a fresh change of pace from some of their previous shows.

This year, while I like parts of the show, there’s also large chunks that just leave me feeling flat, lacking the complete cohesiveness and ultimate impact of the last two programs.

SCV is just so strong. Great showing!

I might be in the minority, but I see SCV opening up their margin over Devils.

I'm an SCV fanboy, and truly do like this year's show, but I can admit that they are probably benefiting quite a bit from not having the beautiful, but super-exposed, flowing drill of the past.  I do miss that.

You nailed it. People compare finals last year to right now and it's just not going to be that good yet. No one remembers how incomplete Babylon was last year at this same show. 

Just wait until they put the ending into the show.. it’s so good! Vintage Vanguard hornline
