I personally think the closer still needs a little bit more dramatic flair in the buildup to the final chord but that’s just me. Excited to see what changes they still have in store, and congrats to BD on the HUGE statement win last night 0:15 Seeing now the upper right hand corner of the tunnel action I can see why the Coats took penalty.

Yeah there was a real props backup at the tunnel at this location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we’re about to enter the routine part of the season where all the little picture dirt that’s been haunting them since the start is about to get cleaned up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have still got a pretty big change coming. Likely at Allentown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to these smartphone camera videos because it’s a more accurate representation of the live sound. That, and it also reminds me that the audience does, in fact, love BD. Because based off of social media and DCP, they’re (for the most part) vilified. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I *love* audience reaction, that’s one reason I consistently try to watch these videos, it helps you take the temperature. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rylan Posted July 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2023 I have a great story to share. I have friends who I met during orchestra in college. They are huge anime fans and as string players have not really been exposed to the marching arts. They (a couple) are now living in Atlanta and both have played for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and I told them about the DCI show last night. I just got off the phone with them this morning and here’s what they had to say (paraphrased): ”We were so impressed with how excited everyone was. Definitely not an orchestra concert. We really loved everything but the standouts were Phantom Regiment, Carolina Crown, Boston, and Blue Devils. Especially, Carolina Crown and the Blue Devils! CC was very symphonic and really appealed to us as string players. BD was just obviously on another level. They sounded like professionals. We loved their repertoire the most because we obviously love JoJo’s and Jotaro. We knew nothing about the theme but were enamored from start to finish. I almost cried during their ballad. We’re actually now going to watch a documentary on Matisse to learn more. We’re obsessed with DCI now!” 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a teaching activity, after all. For those blathering endlessly recently that no one knows who Matisse is, well here is an example of people being so captivated by a show that they are going to embark on a new journey of discovery and appreciation. All it takes is a spark. A million years ago, I wrote some show reviews and other articles for Drum Corps World, and one piece was about this same subject, using the (then current) ‘90 Star Belshazzar’s Feast show as the example. People were spouting the same stuff then about it being too obscure, etc. But a lot of people came away from that show seeking out information and knowing more than they did before. How dull the world would be if we only were ever shown things we had already seen. I truly admire BD’s commitment over the past decade-plus to building shows around subjects that deserve the spotlight. In an age of greatly diminished arts education, they provide an invaluable service. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
