DCI Southwestern Championship (San Antonio) - Saturday, July 20, 2019


Recommended Posts

I've been watching today's broadcast with someone with extremely limited drum corps exposure. Here are her thoughts so far:

Music City - 5/10 -- too corny

Genesis - 4/10 -- it was fine

Troopers - 4.5/10 -- ...

Pacific Crest - 7/10 - I like the costumes, the girls look good, like the black and white

Madison Scouts - 3.8/10 - They need a new person in charge.

Colts - 7.5/10 -- Understood the theme for once

Spirit of Atlanta - 8//10 -- liked the energy & costume changes

The Academy - 6.5/10 -- boring and disjointed

If you look on high cam the pit is in an arch so it makes it look like a bridge

Okay, I am not a fan of that forced vamping from the hornline after the last note.

On the other hand, I'm liking the show much more than the first few viewings. Looking forward to seeing it in person next week.

Is it me, or am I enjoying 15th through 20th corps way too much?

Not at all!  People who hang in the lot then come in for the top 12 are missing out on a lot.

Can someone explain exactly what "Goo" is? I asked my son who marched last year (and hopes to march next), and he's never heard the term.

I'm looking to complete my DC "lingo bingo" card and can't in good conscience fill this square yet. Thanks! 

The term was coined here on DCP in 2010 as "thunderous goo". That was the second year synthesizers were permitted in DCI and the first year their use because ridiculously egregious. It remained that way through 2012 until corps finally started to dial it back, but has never fully gone away.
