Does that just mean the judges simply "liked" BD's show more? And Vanguard still "outperformed" them? No. I means the GE and Analysis judges put BD up and the Brass/Percussion and Visual Performance and CG judges didn't. Every caption can essentially be split into two parts: content and execution.

I'm sure they'll take that My husband and I were talking about The Cavalier's show this afternoon on the way home. It's so great to see them back in the west again. We had hoped it would happen when our son was with them. Anyway, just hearing the buzz about them this weekend just solidifies our opinion that the real benefit of the western swing won't be how they place this year, but will be the widening of the talent pool over the next few years they should get a heck of a lot more young men to audition from the west coast. Well, the Cavies drumline has a few peeps from Pulse Percussion posted from the DrumScorps app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the fact that so few corps do demanding drill anymore THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, than BD outperformed SCV in Pasadena since BD took both visual and music, and SCV took GE. Goes both ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was at tonight's show, and I have to say I am surprised BD won. In my opinion it was far from their best run. A ton of timing and execution issues. Even the start when the rifle tosses got caught in a wind gust caused a ton of drops. But apart from guard issues, truly there were execution issues. In the end I could see this winning, but tonight? No. Conversely I thought SCV really did execute. Design is a head scratcher, but the music of the Closer was brilliant. The sonic horn balance was truly breathtaking. Cavies were great even with "two endings" (The crowd gave a standing O only to realize the show wasn't over, tgen gave a second O). Also very well executed, a ton of layers, and great guard (there's a cool trick that the guard does distributing flags. One guy stands on a barrel doing a back-handed toss to about five others, ending with a full guard spin sequence). Even the pit gets into the act with some cool double split stuff. Honestly on this night I thought both Cavies and SCV were better. But perhaps judges viewed BD's book in evety regard much higher in demand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there as well and this BD honk thought SCV took it tonight. While surprised, i am happy BD overcame the disaster opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerodis Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I am stoked looking at the BK percussion score. Such a huge boost in the music score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 With the way the recaps read, it appears that the judges think that BD has significantly more room to grow than SCV does. And I would agree with them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
