Popular Post CloudFuel Posted August 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 DCI may be a competition, but Drum Corps is first and foremost an activity where performers marry music, athleticism, and narrative in a compelling manner. Judging and scores will always be subjective, but there's absolutely no denying the incredible effort put in to create these amazing experiences that will last forever. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'm trying to understand how Cavies beat Colts and Troopers in brass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdn Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Random thought: I thought the following corps had very hot season best runs last night: Regiment, Mandarins, Boston, Bloo and BD. Everyone had a strong run. No off-nights. It was a great finals night. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranintothedoor Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Personal favorites time!! Most enjoyable show overall: Troopers Most enjoyable drill: Colts Most enjoyable music: Phantom Best moment: Cadets opener hit Best song choice: Bluecoats - Bump! Most intriguing color guard choreography: Blue Devils...dang! Most satisfying ending: BAC (... but only at Finals... y'all messed with me this season...! Lol) Daughters' obsession: the "princess" in Crown! The only corps for whom they sat completely still! Wife's obsession: "... thou shalt not! Writ over the door..." 😆 we will be reciting that poem in our house for decades to come. Tastiest percussion: Cavaliers feature... especially the front ensemble split cymbal sixteenths! AAAAAAA!! So good! Most satisfying improvement: Cadets! Spacing issues and endurance issues in closer seemed to disappear (for the most part) at Finals. What a great run! I'll add more as they come to me! 🙂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dragons Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Now that I'm officially old enough to be getting 10% off on Thursdays at my local grocer, I think I've finally reached the point of simple bliss with all the placement stuff. Every single placement seemed right or at least entirely defensible. And the shows were the best as a group I've ever seen. Again maybe perception only but it seems to me as. If corps have started to veer a bit back towards some traditional showmanship. Great year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
