pudding Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Next to the press box, side 1 40. Blue Devils: They have some good soloists. Holistically, though, their brass just isn't as crisp as I have come to expect from them. Normally I am completely mesmerized by the bright and shiny sound of their high brass; tonight, they felt muddy. Their mellows and baris also felt somewhat unfocused. There is too much reliance on electronic melody. I don't mind electronic effects, when there is no acoustic way to get them, but in my opinion there should not be extended periods where there is nothing but synthesized sounds providing melody, accompaniment, and effects. The front ensemble was sloppy. No real excuse here. Battery seemed okay, bass feature early was not clean, but the drum line cleaned up as the show went on. Thematically I have no clue what is going on. There's no cohesion or explanation for why the design elements that are in the show were chosen.

Ediker Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It's not even close... Blue Devils' props are the best. Very clever idea... minimalistic... versatile... highly utilized. Very effective. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfmninjaa Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Nice BD, it may not keep me in its entirety but I love some of the pieces that are being played including the shoe tapping feature which imo is probably the most innovative thing I've seen in dci this year posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually do an accent color in the red, purple, pink family but I really like the yellow this year, for a change. That one yellow evening glove.😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
