oldbandguy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Congrats Blooooo! Once again winning 6 of 8 captions. Congrats SCV on winning the other 2. Congrats BD on being 2nd or 3rd from all 8. Tomorrow it's a 12 judge panel!!! Will be interesting. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlueStarsDad Posted July 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2019 So this was my first view of the Blue Devils ... and all I can say is "oh my god" ... its so good. If heaven is watching the Bluecoats and Blue Devils over and over again, I'm totally in for it. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCV scoring 4th Visual Proficiency. Question for both, if this can be addressed going forward or tonight an anomaly? posted from the DrumScorps app I'm gonna say outlier... Bluecoats were s coring near 8.8-9.0 in book and tech...Then they get an 8.65, 2 nights later. With BD and SCV in the same show 2 days ago and tonight. I'm saying it's an inaccurate judge... But I wasn't there so I can't give an educated opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanabors Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Late arriver here, just a thought on the Blue Devils tonight: I was a member of one of the corps touring alongside the blue devils during their Pacific Northwest tour, and I've been able to see Ghostlight 5 times. Tonight, surprisingly, was one of the worst performances of their show I've seen. It felt lacking in energy, cohesion, and, unfortunately, effort. I really love their show this year, and their ballad is my favorite, maybe ever. They just felt flatline and left me wanting tonight. Hopefully it was where I was sitting, seems like most enjoyed their show tonight. Just my thoughts. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besson57 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 First time this year seeing anything live. My biggest reaction is that corps really need to work on balancing the electronics, both acoustically and directionally. I’m not opposed to mic’d brass and a smattering of goo here and there. But I’m not sure why some of those corps even bother marching tubas if they’re going to completely cover them up with speaker stack subwoofers for the entire show. And it would be nice to at least attempt to have the speakers give some nod to spatial relationship to where the sound is coming from, and where it’s being generated on the field. I’m not sure if this was more noticeable because of the concrete structure of the stadium. Maybe things will sound different in the Alamodome tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wasn't there so I can't give an educated opinion. There were some timing issues in the show tonight, particularly when the corps was spread to the 20’s on both sides. Not sure if that contributed to the surprisng score, but it was noticeable even to a non drummer like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
