I'm still laughing they actually went for it. They went for it and it’s awesome as heck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Flo has their "no sound" video up. https://www.flomarching.com/events/10854523-2023-dci-houston/videos?playing=11152655 It's still an electric ending without the sound. Also my brain entirely played that Take Me to Church along with this video. This is such a memorable show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I'm also loving how the camera guy actually goes for one of those kids getting out of the prop after the show's end and seeing if he can even walk. It's pretty amazing he seems entirely unfazed as he gets his horn and starts with his apparent assigned duty to help lock the cage in place and roll it out. I'm gonna watch for them in particular at the end of tonights run. Frankly, you volunteer to be a spinnerman, you should be exempt from any field clearing duties other than attempting to walk a straight line to the tunnel. 🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 23 minutes ago, KVG_DC said: That was the first finals. But frankly 2017 was entirely "finals worthy" finishing just outside at 13 You could say 2015 Resurrection and 2016's Forbidden Forest was the start of it as they took their style in a new direction toward the 'strange and uncanny.' 2015's terra cotta soldiers waking up finished 20th. 2016's weird trip through the forbidden forest pulled them to 17th. Then it was off to the races. 13, 10, 10, [covid] 10 and now another jump. 2017 might be my second favorite behind 2023. The second they started the first cast I watched I know we were in for a new corps on the rise. Can’t believe I forgot them in my favorite non finalist shows ever discussion. I guess I’m used to them in finals 😜 - Southwind 2000 - Mandarins 2017 - Pacific Crest 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) There is a short video on Reddit drumcorps from inside the spinning prop. edit - I’m not smart enough to cut & paste it here, esp using my iPhone Edited July 22, 2023 by IllianaLancerContra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
