jimwolf359 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Good run from Guardians. This is an up and coming Corps. Liked the concept and they put it across well. Turn Around was well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake W. Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I absolutely cannot believe how far Guardians have grown since 2019. They took the maturity of their apple show and put it over the chaotic, off-the-wall shows that landed them on the map in the first place. I'm in love!!!! I hope that corps is beyond proud of making Semis for the first time and landing top 5 at OC Prelims & Finals. They've more than earned it!! I think Guardians will end up as one of the best Cinderella stories of 2022. What a great year for them, and so well-deserved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn Around was well done. They went back to the pop tunes and hip hop shows they made their name with in Open Class. 2019 they had departed from that but I'm glad to see it back and glad to see them get rewarded for it with their highest score and placement ever in OC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I mean really. They've had the guts to put Kayne, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Big Freedia on the field. Party Corps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Also...Spartans' transformation from 2014 or so to now. They were a "we're gonna do everything visual and some music" design. Now they're a musical feast and making smart visual choices. This year isn't quite as lightning in a bottle as that Experiment X show in 2019 but it's a great one still. They give their kids value for their money with a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjramsey Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Serf and Guardians are a great way to start the day. Two very entertaining shows that showcase the talent they have and not try to overdo it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Spartans brass not sounding quite as polished as they did during Monday/Tuesday runs. All the same, really happy with the direction this design team is taking and very much looking forward to future productions. Repertoire choices the past two years have been fantastic. Still can't believe I'm hearing Retrograde on the field, but I'm loving it! Edited August 12, 2022 by Musicman1084 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't believe I'm hearing Retrograde on the field, but I'm loving it! I think a lot of the OC tend to ease off on the kids as they go in. It becomes sort of a "just go and enjoy the experience" ride at that point. The listening environment for them in LoS is totally different than anything most Open corps see all year too.
