The last several years they were held back by designs that didn't do enough FOR their players, that were too casual and lacking in depth, creativity and competitiveness. The brand new design team wrote something for DCI, not for a college halftime show, and it showed. Compare with the 2015 anniversary show, for example, and note 2019's increase in sophistication in both drill and arrangement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think they were referring to the fact that Surf wrote a show for the numbers they had, not the numbers they wanted. The past few years they have been marching with tons of holes all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the members they were drawing wren't up for several of the technical demands placed upon them. When you start spring training right about the time the rest of DCI is about to come out of spring training, you're behind. And trying to get kids to move and play some of the musical challenges given them without having the extra time to work on it hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleran Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 And frankly, I think they should have been placed ahead of Music City. Hopefully tonight, Surf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
