Drum Corps at the Rose Bowl (June 25, 2022)


Recommended Posts

I like the music of Mandarins. The colors seem disjointed in this show.  The monkey bars seem so out of place with everything else going on because of the color.  And don’t get me started on the Barbie Doll / Barbarella costumes of the guard.  I like the show,  it just seems like the designers and costume shop should have talked to each other.

The singing truly ruins the show unfortunately 

It is a bit much. The only corps that should be allowed to sing is Bloo and that only applies to the girl singer in Session 44.

The song is Avi Kaplan's "The Otherside" and their show is titled "The Otherside"...

I understand who wrote it and what it means to the show, but the singing does nothing and contributes nothing to a well conceived and nicely done show.

I guarantee that section sounds awkward without the singer. The singer adds a nice layer imo

I wonder if they had to recreate the phantom mask or did SCV still had it

They’re better than crown 17 for sure, that was an atrocity, especially with a horn line like crown’s being relegated to accompaniment. 
 

But still ruins the show regardless, it does not supplement the horn line in any way. Which is a shame because their horn line and overall repertoire is really, really good 

I thought 2017 Crown was a well performed vanilla show until the vocalist started. Show was smoking from the ballad to the end. To each their own....

Agree! Much better production without the vocal. Stephan said it adds nothing to an otherwise terrific show. 

Yeah, if you’re going to have a singer it’s gotta be off the charts great. We’ll see how this develops over time. They once again have a horn line.
