Rileydog Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Welcome Mandarins, Blue Knights, and Troopers to the beautiful Texas Panhandle. Beautiful night for DCI with temps in the 80s and a gentle Northeast breeze. Not typical August weather, but we will take it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rileydog Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 “Speak Easy” begins with a mischievous rendition of “Rolling Down the River” and then erupts into a full on party!!! beautiful second set with Corp singing to end. Show has a jazz nightclub with 20’s Charleston type vibes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileydog Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Mandarins take the field with black uniforms with red sparkled trim. Technical issues delay the start. “Beyond the Canvas” begins very dark with color guard starting the action. Prerecorded singing transitions into frontline playing. Huge hornline hit begins the playing portion. Don’t know how to describe the vibe. Music is incredible. Almost an apocalyptic Les mis? fantastic show!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rileydog Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Blue Knights are taking the field. Black pants with silver and blue glistening coats. corp starts in a 2 layered circle with drum line in the center to the right of the 50. “Always” begins with prerecorded dark It’s a Wonderful World. slow build up to a fast paced controlled opener. First big brass hit sets us back in our seats!! second set starts with a staccato played fight between pit and drumline. Powerful ballad culminates with brass line from 15 to the 15. Colorguard is amazing with brilliant cloud blue flags filling the front of the ensemble. Final sets begins with a beautiful euphonium solo of its a wonderful life then culminates in a very positive, loud, and colorful song. just an old school great DCI show!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
