This isn’t a Bloo specific thing, narration and voice just usually isn’t fun. This is the main reason why I had a hard time enjoying Crown until this year. It’s not specific to Bloo. A lot of corps incorporate small amounts of narration, but when it becomes central to the show, it becoming grating. If the Keytar wasn’t involved last year, Bloo’s show last year would be hard to stomach too I could definitely tolerate Bloo’s narration(at a distance). Being pretty much right in front of the amp when I saw it live was quite a bit harder. I still didn’t mind it in their show last year even with the rough experience I had with it in person, and comparing this year, I think they dialed it down quite a bit. Crown happened to annoy me more last year to be honest! Sorry to all the Crownies😂 love the show this year and I’m glad it’s scoring well! Percussion needs to elevate, it’s getting scary👀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wager that my opinion isn’t the minority amongst the more dedicated drum corps fans Googles what constitutes a dedicated drum corps fan… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percussion needs to elevate, it’s getting scary👀 Neutral on spoken word but I don’t need “THE…WHITE… WHALE” billowed at me anymore than I want an amplified “Eureka” or “VANGUARD”. That said, I disliked Bloo’s narration much LESS last night during a standstill… I honestly don’t know why and i again disliked it more tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ok standing in front of the amp for this year’s narration strangely haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I love my Buckeyes but after we lost to UM we were not going to get in the CFP...that is until USC decided to get smashed by Utah. USC lost to the Yoots because Caleb Williams pulled his hamstring on the first drive. Wait. What board am I on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will absolutely be going back to keeping your posts hidden 👍 I remember a time when you weren’t so easily offended by differing opinions. A shame, because I genuinely do enjoy your input. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
