gumby5647 Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 HEH heh heh, oh yeah. i forgot to add..... The Biggest "whoops" of the night: Doesn't go to anybody in any corps....it goes to the audience itself. I guess some people lost track of time during Southwind's performance. After they finished playing March Slave about 1/5 of the audience stood up for the ovation. They thought that was the end of their show. Turns out there were a few more minutes and a song or two left to play. Whooops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynkin Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 maybe it was a geniunely great performance... or was it more of a "hey, thanks for playing, now get off the field!" sort of an ovation...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby5647 Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 no it was a clap in the seats for a few moments then we'll stand for the "polite ovation" People did really think it was over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallybowles Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 i'm really late in joining this thread, but i have to say that i agree about the cavaliers. i was at Normal, too. phantom's show should take first or second in Madison. and they should have gotten at LEAST second in Normal. Colts got screwed too. why? because the cavies bought Darren's Dance Grooves and incorporated it into their overrated show. it wasn't a *bad* show, and it was very well executed. but certainly not deserving of first or second. or even third. it just goes to show you what a name will do.

Sluggo Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 wow....that is the first I've heard of that....thanks for your honest opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starting line Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Never apologize or hold back how you truly feel about a show and your impressions on the Corps. You paid your money { and if you marched, you paid your " dues " }. You didn't hold back it appeared ,and we should all be grateful for that. Good review !

gumby5647 Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 i understand that some of the music has changed in the cavies show. I haven't heard it since Normal. But man, visually it is awesome. But musically it was a sleeper. It will be interesting to see how much people end up liking it when the CD's come out and they can only listen and not see. Kinda like star 93. Freaking awesome to watch on Video. Just kinda "Ok" to listen to in the car... Personally, i liked the 97 Firebird show 10 times more than this year.... But then again what do i know, im just a snare drummer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I love listening to '93 Star in the car....it's kinda fun when you can actually visualize everything in your mind....(how many of you do their little tilting of the head/body when that part comes in the music) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoFan Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 An interesting point was raised (which deserves a thread of its own) when someone said "I can't wait until the CD's come out and I can listen to the music..." Others have expressed similar opinions when they state that certain music didn't become familiar or accessible to them until they listened to it several times on CDs. Herein lies one of the biggest problems with the activity: We, as die-hard fans, have numerous opportunities to see shows and to purchase CDs which we listen to time and time again. The average fan in the stands attends one show and walks away going "huh?" after hearing Cavies all-original music, or Glassmen's dissonant approach, or BK's take on Barber. Sophistication has its place, but it can be carried too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
