I imagine it’s much easier to export those files from an iPhone too I'd say they are way better. I know of a person that took video from the stands at finals a few times, and the sound was better then FloMarching, and almost as good as the official recordings. Wouldn't surprise me. I do believe the tapes and such are a cloud based platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2018, they had it from day one. Hopefully, some big changes will remedy that. Love the performance level and such, but the program really looks and feels like Babylon 3. The 2019 production had that similar vibe, and maybe they're just adopting that persona permanently, but it felt a bit stale in terms of concept. As with most of the top groups, they'll figure it all out and have everything dialed in...but they missed an opportunity to assume the alpha spot. Seems they're playing catch-up at this point, and BD have the attention of the younger crowd. You could feel the energy level of the kids in the stands from SCV to BD. BD is the trendy choice, at least at the moment. Good job capturing a bit of the pop culture vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFA1970 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Anyone impressed about Mandarins..... They are not that fluke that will disappear. They are serious about being a top TEN corps. Drumline is much improved. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no more trying to hunt down a plastic bag full of cassette tapes and no more trying to find a tape recorder to n listen to them. It is been like this for at least a decade, btw. (Although EVERYONE still refers to it as listening to the judges' tapes...lol) Also much easier to track numbers without need yellow sheets of paper that can accidentally be left on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine what’s trendy among the west coast audience will differ compared to the east and Midwest audience. I imagine Bloo and Crown will remain the crowd darlings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelloNell Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Just now getting to see the show from multi angle. For gods sake BD, get those kids some black T-Shirts in the corps proper! The bare mid drift is horrendous. Love the show. But, details. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the uniform staff is fixing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, who knows if Phantom Regiment will return as the " crowd darling " this season as they were last season when it was non scored performances.
