Summer Music Games in Cincinnati 2023-07-05


Recommended Posts

After getting a chance to sitdown and watch Bluecoats from last night (my own android tablet screen recording), I'm gonna quote Ebby Calhoun LaLoosh:

Quote

It feels out there. I mean...it feels radical in kind of a tubular sort of way, but most of all, it feels out there.

However, it may be "too out there" for some....because its really out there

Tight tonight between the top 3!  Their all going to be 2 pointed (minimum) by BD come finals night. 

I’m ride or die for BD but no one in the top 4 is getting 2-pointed. They may collectively 2-point whoever is in 5th but as a distinct tier, these corps are going to be close.

Has always been my debate. Yes more to clean but if it is clean do you get rewarded for it?  Is there more difficulty?

From my experience in the band world, its all about managing your time. Not just the flow/pacing of the show but your rehearsal time as well. A long show with a lot of difficult content is probably a recipe for disaster but a short show with easy content could be a disservice to the member talent level.

On the surface we see the results of cleanliness and content in the performance but there is always the backside of this we rarely see or think about when it comes to managing a rehearsal schedule with time allotted to produce the content we see at shows.

I am one of the biggest BD honks on this forum. No way they are two pointing the field this year. I believe they will win it all, and there is nothing wrong in thinking that.............but by 2+ points??? No way. It's going to be tight at the top.

A 2 pt spread is the drum corps equivalent of Reagan vs Mondale.

If captions get split amongst all of the top 4(very well could happen) there is simply no way. No one’s coming away with a clean sweep this year.

I’ll split the six pack I win with you!

I dunno.  I sense a powerful disturbance in the force.  You're seeing Crown's everywhere.  :195_crown: 

See? 

 Trust me,   something wonderful is coming!

This show definitely has the most legs since 2016. 

2017 was awful

I loved 2018 but there really wasn't much to it.  

2019 was pretty plain

2022 was a bit annoying 

 

Crown has always had the best hornline since at least 2012 when Phantom started to dive- I just want the glory and genius show writing- The captivation and awe that 2012 and 2015 brought me. 😍
