KVG_DC Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Actually, if Troop wants to keep on brand with "old west spaghetti western" they should get a jawbone to play instead of [closeup] APPROXIMATING [/closeup] the sound with a vibra slap.

But I also contend that they could add so much to this production to make it ever stronger. I enjoy that husky Troopers sound though. Thematically, it is developing a cheese factor and I hope it does not grow stale. Colts have already seemed to have passed Troop, so I hope they continue marching onward! I can see Troopers & Colts fighting it out for a while. Colts are cleaner, but I think Troopers have more demand and much more ‘meat’ musically. Colts guard is better; long term Troopers need to develop guard program same way they have with brass & percussion. Short term - re-write & clean clean clean. Also think there is a 100% chance a sunburst is coming; hoping that they add material so the rope makes more sense visually, esp in the last 2-3 min. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 BTW- I propose that the trebuchets are actually Troop-buchets. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the coiner of Academy’s xylobones, I second this. Best drum corps portmanteau in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vuitton Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'm not sure what to think of this show. I love it musically and I would love it visual if they used someone elses horns, dind't wear uniforms and had different silks. I just hate the colors of this show, espeically the gold horns. But I love the music and the visuals. The colors are just awful to me. And what is with that prop. What's the significance? What's the point of it? It is the coolest thing I've ever seen on the field and I'm mesmorized by it. Maybe that's the point, but can someone help me out here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I gathered that much, but it is a very unusual prop and they don't do anything with it other than move it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
