I need some high energy fellow audience members around me. So, you're telling us Jim is pretty low key. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I had practice for Indy by having to tell a couple of people that they were in my seats last night after intermission. I thought I was going to have to practice here on Jim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to get something to eat and we come back after dinner break and there they are. I’m surprised it hasn’t become more volatile. The only place this ever happens is drum corps. I go to concerts, plays, baseball games, football games… 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewArpege Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 9 hours ago, Vuitton said: It’s not true they only move and play from the Z-Pull onward. I just watched Regiment and Crown with a stopwatch. I chose Regiment because you insinuate they move and play the least and Crown because (without timing everyone) I believe they play and move the most. By most I mean I’m only timing when the full horn line is moving and playing at the same time and not body movement - actually doing continuous marching/drill while playing. Crown’s full horn line played and moved for 3:06, where as Regiment’s played and moved for 1:34. Give or take a few seconds on each. So while Crown marched and played 1 minute and 32 seconds more than Regiment, if we’re talking 11 1/2 to 12 1/2 minute shows, then both corps are park and bark to the extreme. Everyone is park and bark to the extreme these days. No one moves and plays like corps used to. I absolutely believe Crown plays and moves the most, so if I timed other corps, I would bet most of them are playing and marching in line with what Regiment is doing. The members today are doing other things. Regiment’s members are spending time fully integrating their props within the drill and visual program, Crown’s members are not spending time doing that. Crown’s props frame the visual, Regiment’s are integrated into the visual. So when you look at these shows side by side, one is not more difficult than the other. They are just doing different things, both of which are highly challenging. Don’t know which sections you are timing. When we last did Crown, it was much higher than that. And the overall playing time that Crown does was like 2.5 minutes more than PR. I’ll have to go back and check. But honestly, it’s absolutely absurd PR is moving and playing 1.5 minutes. Judges need new guidelines. Very unacceptable IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has the full hornline playing and moving at the same time very much, and all (including Crown) have the sections playing the hardest parts standing still. However, other things need to be taken into account, too. The judges want to see a variety of skills shown, not just playing and marching. And if one corps marches and plays for one minute it can be higher in quality, content and demand, than another who plays and moves for six minutes. Quality. Design. Execution. You people insinuating that Regiment is only scoring well because their show is easy are mistaken. Edited August 7 by Vuitton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
