IMHO, what is needed is what used to be known as 'Madison Swagger'. The screaming brass, and importantly, the overall confidence - 1980s & 90s Madison owned the field from the second they entered to the second they exited. The problem is NOT because they went coed - women can be just as confident. Make Madison Great Again. I said this last year. Just because they went coed didn't mean they had to lose the Madison style. I'm sure a lot of the females who joined Madison were wanting to perform that style. But last year just really wasn't it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheherazadesghost Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I loved last season's show. That is what makes Scouts the corps I'm looking forward to the most this season. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the unjudged 2021 show had more promise than last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that should matter, but the membership moved forward in mega large strides, with many of them returning. I think last year was a great entrance into a new era. The song choices killer, the new ideas for design matching today's standards, and the design team more collaborative than years past. I dig it. I'm excited for this year. If there's as many returning vets as I think there are, this should be a solid year. Edited May 22, 2023 by C.Holland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah being Caption Obvious with that but will be interesting to see the difference. note: started with a formerly inactive corps for 6 years. Went from last at DCA prelims to 6th in Finals. Experience level made huge difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
