Drum Corps Is Now a Bust Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 47 minutes ago, DrummerParent said: An excellent point. Saying a world class percussion group that finished 7th “stunk” is quite an exaggeration and not only an insult to that Crown percussion group but every group that finished 8th and below. I assume this “Drum Corps is a Bust” person is maybe 11 years old though so I don’t pay them too much mind. You know what they say about assumptions . . . ad hominem.

To me it is by far the best movement in drum corps this season. Just a master class by Bloo’s design staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PoC Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson “Its the not the Destination, It's the journey.” BD, Bloo, BAC, SCV, Cadets, etc... all have shows about a journey - an arc that draws you into and through an experience that leads to new places or understandings. Not that all shows need an explicit narrative journey to be engaging, but RHRN seems all destination and we don't get the satisfaction of getting drawn into any particularly special RHRN moment (ala BK 2014 That One Second) over the course of the show. I think this has made it hard for Crown to layer and deepen the show as the season progressed. They do perform the heck out of it though!

And you're better off continuing to state fallacies. If I'm 11 and you're not, why do you feel the need to personally attack me which is the low hanging fruit from 11 year old mind??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that the crowd contributes to the show CONTENT is not new. And they made a good run at it, it just doesn’t work. And when your entire show concept IS audience involvement… What I do think was the really big mistake is not changing it. They just kept rolling the same thing out night after night with the same results. Audience participation is getting people to move their arms during the breakdown section and snapping during the ballad. Standing up and clapping at the end of the keytar solo is a reaction not participation as someone already stated 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
