DCI World Championship Prelims - Thursday, August 8, 2019


Recommended Posts

Good but not great run from Cadets. That percussion is such a great foundation, and performers are doing well in a show with a lot of demand. A book could be written on show concept and design (and has been on DCP), so nothing to add there.

Sound seems to have cranked up for the Cadets. At times, it wasn’t pleasant.  

Don’t know if it’s Fathom.

Loving the Jack London quotation to start the show.

Horn soloists getting pushed along the field in sleds.

And then the entire horn line goes nuts on the intro, both visually and musically.

Full horn line on the tarp on the right front side of the field.

What a crescendo!

Did not catch the ski poles the guard uses as equipment at the start of Dance Panels.

Brass is very exposed in this section. A lot of unison attacks and releases which require great timing.
