N.E. Brigand Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Good. Lots of nice drill in that show. But the goo was pretty bad in the cinema. Also they could cut most of their voiceovers and drop the soft ending and it would be a better show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the emotional impact less without them. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedrick Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I was really impressed with how much the show has been polished and perfected over the last week - great job! Would love to see them awarded a little bit more in GE so the could pass BK... Blue Stars have done a great job of designing boutique shows for the past several years - unique stories, told in an engaging way -- they have been consistently strong in all areas -- Stop Start Keep Stop show specific costumes every year Start developing a consistent visual/costume/uniform look - I'd really like to see a signature uniform that communicates who you are and nails down your brand Keep up the good work in perc, brass and guard - continue to build on your musical and visual execution talents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12 minutes up to that point were outstanding, though. Their best effort of the season last night by far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Soft endings can work, but I was sitting there in the theater thinking, "That show. Needs a "lay everything out there" ending that makes my hair stand on end." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Theyre good but the show doesn't grab me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It’s funny how we all react differently. The soft ending gave me goosebumps. For so many of us the Jack London books were our introduction to serious literature as kids. The narration at the end was perfection imo. The narrator sounded a bit like Donald Southerland.

It seems like for every 10 times a drum corps designer thinks 'you know what would be super original here? a soft ending!', 9 times it fails, 1 time it works really well. Its overdone. I think the soft ending for this show doesnt really do it for me. The prior ending teased a big ending to be added, and then without it it just kind of fizzles.
