crownisking Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The BD performance has actually grown on me a good bit since my first viewing. BD is probably the only corps that could’ve gotten away with doing something this avant-garde but I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’m genuinely intrigued to see if they decide to build on this new concept in 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barigirl78 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This is the most Fan-Friendly DCI “Finals” ever. The crowd was full for the “12th Place corps” (Phantom Regiment) because of crowd buzz and not because who the judges told us were “better” The last time I was here, the crowd wasn’t full for the 12th place corps. The people here love drum corps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Ok. that was ...different. I'll wanna watch again but it was pretty interesting in some good ways! It's obviously not intended to be a field show. They're using the film medium to its max. It 'deconstructs' drum corps into the various elements that BD masters so well. Musicality, guard, visual body movement, percussion, pit. etc. But only at points puts them all together. I've often wondered at what point BD will break out of the mold they've created for shows. I mean, why mess with what wins year after year, but when is the creative team gonna do something different and go for broke and show us "what comes next." While I don't think we'll see what we saw on the video put on the field next year, they might be signaling a shift with that production. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
