Popular Post Chief Guns Posted July 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 Just heard from my boy. He just listened to the Music Analysis judges tapes. Both judges had nothing but positive things to say. They just want the Mandarins to achieve the highest level of clarity possible, because they are that good. Both judges were laughing and clapping at the end of the ballad and the closer. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said last night's run in Tomball was way better. They are happy with the tie and in the top five, but they want more. More! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's obvious that the Mandarins have been learning each year about what works and what doesn't work to create and construct a show that is GE driven, attainable for the members and audience, achievable for the talent they have, is competitive right out of the gate, and still has room to grow as the season progresses without overwhelming the members. They have earned and deserve their high placement, this year. Who knows what next year will bring; but, for now, savor the moment and process. I think they will be quite happy come finals night if they get the job done and the judges do right by them if the corps is deserving as such. Cheers! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos and respect to those individuals for their tolerance. If I was on one of those contraptions...🤮 From IG, it looks like one of the Spinnermen is a sky diver, so that tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe her daughter is the mellophone who does the featured lone Sinnerman choreo at the top of the show. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
