It’s a lot of fun. That is freaking awesome! Just one of the many reasons why I love this activity so much! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot of fun. Same here...doesn't matter if it's "one of the big boys" or one just fighting for survival. You realize...the "kids" and their parents are ALL alike! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery sounded a little wet but that's what black max heads due when it's super hot and humid. FE sounds great and reads well back to front. Some really nice visual moments in the closer that are MUCH cleaner than they were when I saw them last. They're diffinately kocking on the door for 6th maybe with PR. I need to really watch the show a few times in a row to pick up on some of the more nuanced stuff. Soloists sounded great, trombone feature sounded solid if not a little under mic'd. The FE was teased to Jesus so it overwhelmed a bit if you are right on the 50. Overall I dig it. You could tell these cats had a long day in the Tennessee heat. But the last run was full of energy. They should be proud. I congratulated the staff as well. Very nice corps. Annnnddddd.....I got to see some of my SoA friends ❤️ Edited July 28, 2023 by Weaklefthand4ever 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot of fun. My group and I do this too at shows. We also usually convince them to give us their embarrassing family nicknames so we can yell that out instead.

Danby510 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I think Mandarins are the best thing since slice bread. Cadets are not it. Phantom, never heard of them after watching the level that the Mandarins presented. Just stop trying cadets and phantom. Let’s go Mandarins!!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
