greg_orangecounty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm not sure I'm sophisticated enough to appreciate SCV's show as I should........... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost gives me an old school feel when I hear music from earlier in the show in the closer, it is so satisfying and provides a proper musical conclusion to the shows! My favorite example of it is BD 2012 where BD used an entirely different tempo and key of the trumpet solo from the opener to give the original solo an aggressive and ominous sound i hope other corps start to catch on, it would make the choppy music arrangements so much more tolerable and enjoyable That's the best Blue Devils show IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they are super talented and busting their buts out there! From mandarins and up, this is my least favorite I do love the ballad tho! I try to look for great moments in shows I'm not fond of (let's say) and wait for those. That way I'm always looking forward to something in each show. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 While I’m not a fan at all of Bloo’s decision to essentially use the hornline as musical accompaniment to narration via their movie soundtrack-esque book, I do appreciate them continuing to push the boundaries of drum corps shows. Doesn’t hurt to have one or two corps doing that every year 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 are so good at reprising and utilizing different versions of the same music in different parts of the show Agree- but I don’t feel that BD does that this year - or at least not as much as Boston, SCV, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless basics blocks where we did four beats of low mark time and then held the last knee before step off while instructors checked our knee bend. Then another endless basics block where we'd move to the first step with the heel plant. Then repeat the process for the right leg. You basically develop a muscle memory of where your knee bend should be and then don't overthink it and let your leg be natural with it. I still hear "one two three four AND" in my head when i think about how we learned that Edited July 22, 2022 by KVG_DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
