Skeletor '96 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I got my 2019 DVDs last week and have watched the first disc a couple dozen times already. I thought I'd give my reviews of the top five and see what anybody thinks. Next: the Bluecoats - this is the ONE SHOW that got me back into drum corps after a hiatus starting in 2009. The Beatles are my favorite band and I never guessed that a drum corps could pull off putting pop music on the field - something I feel no group has done successfully before. Some unpredictable selections like Within You Without you and I Want You (She's So Heavy) really shows the design team knew what pieces would work better on the field than, say, She Loves You or The Long And Winding Road. The arrangements really worked too. However, I know this was supposed to be a rock concert but the near total lack of traditional drill was a real shortcoming. This is supposed to be a drum corps show too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is supposed to be a drum corps show too. They were still there I can't see well at my age. What year did they come in second ? I thought they vanished. Where did they place last year? They were not thrown in the "don't care div"? This is the corps we have to get back to the top. What do you think they need to do? If this stacks up with the usual top 4 I'm yelling "fix". three different Blue devils this is getting to be really icky competitive wise. I listen to what every one says because i'm and old competitor but it all seems to be performance hype because no else seems to win the championship. What do you think? How do you not yell "fix"? It's the money shelled out for me. They came in second. What could they do to hang in there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshiyuki Davis Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Quite an interesting test, thank you very much for sharing information about it. When I prepare for some texts or exams, I am always nervous and the only thing that calms me down is reading fiction. One of the last books I learned about with Additional Resources was William Wordsworth's poetry collection. His works are dedicated to the French Revolution, its problems, social events.
