I spent a lot of the time watching the drones they had going around! I don't like the yellow flag work right now. Hoping that changes some. I was wondering what was going on with those drones, too. They're used by the staff as a learning tool? I loved the guard and the flag color changes, especially the blue mixed with all the other blue.. I'm just a color contrast kind of fan, I guess. I'm not a brass guy, but there seemed to be a lot of difficult licks in there. Some need some clean up work which of course will come, but the music overall I enjoy. Moon River was better than even I expected. Percussion-wise, the battery played a lot of "my era" rudiments which warmed my heart. Many of those seem to be a lost art. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned they looked/sounded like so many classic BD corps of earlier years. Very true. Color me wow'd. Yes they do.. I was the one saying it on more than one occasion. I love that Classic sound, and it's going to be so distinctive, I know they are going to look so good too. I saw Scott posted a video of one of the silks and my oh my, they look artistically beautiful. I wish SCV wasn't looking so bland, maybe in another stadium with better lighting they'll look more interesting, but not loving the look. The costiforms looks fall flat for me. However i like their show, but not in-love with it, i am not connecting to it yet, in-spite it's well performed and and an obvious contender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a selection of the top juniors and seniors from the local World class HS in SoCal. If this core sticks together they are going to be monsters in 2-3 years. A few '19 B corps members in the line. Digging the past references ... hear some '15, '16 and '18 licks in there.

In typical years there’s usually enough vets in the corps for me to feel like, okay, these are fellow-adults. But watching multicam last night my first thought was, Oh, I’m old! Will not be watching multicam again until MM’s start growing beards. 🙂 SCV members are not allowed to grow beards this summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was gonna say they have my favorite show so far this year but since they have chosen to make me feel OLD with their youth I will be revising that asap 😝 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorWay Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The ending didn’t seem as catchy as 2019, my big worry. Their brass sonority sounds also very different than usual. More baritone / tuba voice. There was a lot of content but it came up rather suddenly so that pacing seemed odd. For early season it was about usual for them… we shall see if music design is enough to carry them over the threshold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while for it to get as catchy as it is now, so maybe this year will be the same! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains the drones buzzing around on the other video. This one wows me even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
