ComicJeff2012 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Watching the video from a couple nights ago….wow! What an improvement and what a powerful brass line! I’m really digging this show. Percussion is on fire, seeing the drill from higher up, I think it’s a lot better that I had thought, and seems like they’ve added some stuff. And the guard is starting to click. I think with continued cleaning and some more visual added, this show could contend for the top 12. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While these performers are growing and improving, there is no way that this will be in top 12. There is not one memorable design moment in the entire show. The rolling prop is working overtime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992AllOverAgain Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Would be cool if they had two or more of those globe things. Or make them bloom with the guard and horns pulling streams of fabric out of them across the field in the finale.

Fire everyone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it's there to just be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that all the other corps are also cleaning. Madison dropped behind Crossmen last night and other 12 - 16th sitting corps didn't compete. I hope you're right, Jeff, but I'm not optimistic for a Saturday night spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 12 is not going to happen. 15th to 17th is going to happen. I knew the Crossmen were going to pass them. Their show is so much more complex and well-designed than Madison's. I will be shocked if Madison finishes higher than 16th. So, we are likely seeing them drop a placement from last year. I am loving the brass this year. They sound great and I like the music. GE and Visual are going to hold them back big time. The guard is just really not up to snuff. Very poor in performance and execution. There's no passion in what they are doing. It's like they are going through the motions. I'd much rather see a dirty and passionate performance than a clean and lackadasical one. Unfortunately, they are dirty and lackadasical.
