DCI World Championship Semis - Friday, August 9, 2019


Recommended Posts

BK’s percussion playing is so dynamic. Kind of reminds me of how Crossmen’s drum line would play on Thurston charts.

Side to side between mellophones and trumpets. Excellent timing.

This is probably my favorite drum book in drum corps history. It is the complete antithesis of a typical drum book. Not a ram-fest, just incredibly musical and additive to the brass score and the ambiance created on the field.  The bass drum writing in particular is written in a way that highlights the dynamics in the tenors and snares even more. Bravo to Jackson and team.

Also major kudos to the guard staff and performers. This guard has performed a full 180 in a year's time. I remember watching in past years scratching my head over questionable design choices, but this year I simply can't take my eyes off the guard.

Bocook wrote “Liquid” for the 2005 Cadets (99.15). I know it was 14 years ago, but there was so much more movement in ‘05. 

We can’t... do better. 

There was so much more MARCHING in 2005.

There's a heck of a lot more MOVEMENT now. Every corps, every kid... they barely stop moving. There are no down moments where you're not contributing musically or visually.

Apparently he made an asterisk of himself

At least he apologized but he's still a "will not" to me.

A "will not" is when you take a really loose one and there's that one piece that "will not" drop.

 

Any one who has the courage to do this thing of ours, open class, world class, DCA, or a parade corps gets a pat on the back from me for having the courage -yes courage!!!- to perform.

Mandarins are the first Finals newcomer to hold onto their Finals spot the following year since 1999-2000 Boston.

“They start to walk. Then, they start walking faster and faster. Then they’re running. They made it. They were at last home.”

I just realized the horns form the BK dots on the field as their final form! I got chills!
