kevingamin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 And the flags center field prior to Goliath showing up and ruining the party. Wow, crowd REALLY loved that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlooBill Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 To help settle a disagreement, what show or when did Boston add the cutting off of the head? posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my passive-aggressive complaint. If you’re going to hit the king, you’d better kill the King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that always blows me away is how they cover the entire field, from end zone to end zone, sideline to sideline, and their flags are always absolutely in perfect unison. Yes this is a cheesy show, but that guard is just unreal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quijeros Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I'm getting a ton of timpani in the audio mix. It's really unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Our David rifle just tossed OVER Goliath, dove between his legs, and then caught it. And then there’s BAC’s OSU moment with the walking man formation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostrauser Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 4 minutes ago, Tad_MMA said: You’re right. I stand corrected. There’s more movement. Knee bends, footy kicks, butt poses. Way more difficult stuff. Back in the GET OFF MY LAWN days, the 1985 Garfield Cadets marched a 12 min 38 sec show. Guess how many times the full corps came to a complete stop? 8. EIGHT! I know, I know. Where were the deep knee bends? Old school crap. Right? Yes, what they do today is FAR more difficult. Marching around with your upper body locked in form is much easier to produce a consistent brass tone than, say, bent 45 degrees sideways and then switching positions in the middle of a passage. The core strength required by modern drum corps brass is just silly impressive. Go back and watch 1993 Star, really watch it. As impressive and ground breaking as that show was, the visual ensemble was a mess. Just lots of little glitches in timing of forms and movement. They were doing something SO new and SO difficult (for the time) that it never QUITE gelled as a whole. Every corps in the Top 12 today, probably the Top 25, is doing a visual book with demand that blows 93 Star out of the water. I'm not saying it's BETTER. That is a matter of opinion. As N.E. Brigand said earlier, non-stop movement is like music with no rests. But what the kids do today is sure as heck a lot harder. That's inarguable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 And then there’s that literal SOMERSAULT Goliath does. ON STILTS. See? Cut a guy’s head off, throw in some blood, and finish with the Conquest stabs. Easy standing O. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 So uh.... that ending there... I think Goliath just spawned a new head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
