Monday July 25 ... “DCI Mesquite” … Mesquite Memorial Stadium Mesquite, TEXAS

Breeze is picking up those orange strips with the brass and making them really pop nicely.  That was a hot opener

Entire pit is masked tonight, I'm not sure that was going on earlier.

There are folks here who will only see them perform this once. 

Fair enough

Set going into the silks was much cleaner

I noticed Mandarins had quite a few weapons drops tonight but thought maybe it was just a bad show, but Crown has had quite a few already too, so that wind is definitely affecting them.

I really love this trumpet solo.  Best soloist in DCI this year, I think...

[KVG_DC]

The use of the orange strips as the ballad starts is neat but they're not quite getting the connections consistent and it seems almost to create the illusion that there's interval problems in the set.  Im not sure that there are actual interval problems being exposed, just an illusion of them as some times the fabric has a consistent droop between people and other times it does not. 

[Reed]

And then he cracks a note for the first time I've heard...

Yah, They're working on that for sure.

Yeah there's wind going on.  Guards have been fighting it since Troop came on.
