lawdn Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Pacific Crest is very good, and this show is such a big step up for them. I enjoy the show a lot, and it has many nice moments. It just feels like Crossmen are a little better almost across the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Guns Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The young lady in PCs guard who starts the show..........her family sat behind my wife and I at the Vista show in SoCal. They are from Arizona and she initially auditioned for the Academy, didn't make it, went for PC at the last second and got in. Her family was so nice! So I always find myself rooting extra hard for her. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mom was definitely a very nice lady! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylan Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Bill’s Donuts is the “best in the US” as ranked by USA Today? Sounds like East Coast inflation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brass ensemble is uncharacteristically sloppy and I keep wanting more and not getting it. The visual is very well done though. Those kids put their hearts into it though. Agree. The ending of the show is good. The front half is flat I find myself not watching until the end as it's not engaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have a lot to clean but the content is there to clean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A most deserving title!!! Stopped in after the Centerville show in 2004 or 2005 and told them I needed 20 dozen which I then delivered to the Madison Scouts. At first they weren't going to let me have that many because it would "wipe them out." I said "I think Bill would tell you THAT'S A GOOD THING." Also the best pizza in the country is across the street...MARION'S PIAZZA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Yeah PC strikes me as what Mandarins did in 2017. The talent is there to do a show that could crack into finals but they didn't quite design the complexity to best the corps they needed to. Almost as if, "oh dang they're able to do more than we thought." That said, with everything so close in the races this year, PC could still slip by. Now would be the time to add and clean what they can to boost the complexity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
