wilme861 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Blue Devils. I prefer their show design in general but I’m much more analytical and like more esoteric or deeper meaning type of shows than big, bold, in your face drum corps. It’s pretty telling when you tell me to pick only 3 shows to watch again out of the top 6, I’ll pick BD, SCV and Crown... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Two clean runs and the gold goes to BC due to GE. The challenge for BC, over the past five years, has been to be loose but not too loose. Last night was too loose. You can’t forget that this is both a live performance and a technical exposition. BD will never be accused of being too loose, and that’s why they continue to rack up the technical wins. BD will always focus on execution, and if that’s what the judges think matters most, then they will win. It’s an interesting moment in DCI. The top six are each quite unique takes on the activity and in many years any one of them could win the gold medal. But the variety spans from very “tight” to very “loose.” SCV, BC and Cavaliers are constantly playing to the crowd; Boston has a true popcorn eater show that plays to the big ending; Crown and BD are “sticking to their knitting,” focusing on technical execution. Depending on what you think Drum Corps should ultimately focus on, you are going to pick the shows you like best.

BD is too unemotional, except the ballad, and I have seen this show the past six years or so. Ready for something fresh from the Devils. What’s funny is I feel the exact opposite as you. I’m ready for something fresh from Bluecoats cause the last 3-4 years seen the same to me 😂 5 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could listen to SCV all day though, just wouldn't want to watch them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well, that plus I'm a honk for Mike Jackson's percussion writing skills.) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but I’d do BD, Crown, and Blue Knights (With a Cavaliers nod if a fourth were allowed) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Just now, wilme861 said: BK aren’t top 6 or I would agree with you 100% Knights, as usual, is the show you would most like to listen to in a concert hall. I still imagine a year when they win the gold medal because it would be an absolutely mind blowing show. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
