Don’t mean to offend you but obviously each corps spent a fortune on production costs. Their choice… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying something new, deciding it doesn't work as well, and reverting is more commendable than trying something new and doubling down if it doesn't work, or not trying anything new at all. something tells me our idea of what "doesn't work" or "does work" might not correlate with how scoring works now. just a fact we have to face as the activity grows and evolves. we're not the first to go through it and won't be the last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they're doing the conductor awards at all this year she'd be my pick. There were some encores this year where you could see how she pulls the emotion out of their playing and pulls it together, making corrections and instructing from the podium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I went to finals that year. The crowd reaction reads well on video. I can only imagine how electric it was in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and my nephew went to HS together in Ofallon, IL. She is a wonderful person and leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel the sound, emotion, and power that night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably so, but...the activity has swing back and forth between trends in the years I've watched it and...this season, Phantom and Cadets shows are feeling like they might start that pendulum swinging back. The scale down of props in many corps and the reinvention of 'big drill moves' as well as the staging stuff is likely to influence too. Design teams are watching these 'throwback' shows and having their imaginations jogged with "what if we did that with this" sort of thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
