joholso Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The Cavaliers scrapped their evening practice in Edwardsville, so I made my way to the Alton show instead. Sorry, this is from memory 14+ hours after the fact. Or. Crusaders. I hope the pit player who smashed her hand bet. two vibes while setting up is okay. She seemed to be in pain for a while. First time I have ever seen this corps. Pretty solid performance. They need to clean their drill though, especially within the close-quarters marching. Also, the male guard members are wearing a type of belly shirt which is not looking good on them. Blue Stars. Solid performance again, and I remember the mello line as being particularly good. Pioneer. Entertaining show. Good interaction bet. guard and horn with a coll contra solo. Colts. Strong horn line, and recognizable music. The ballad "Till There Was YOu" was enjoyable. Cap Reg. The sundial was distracting IMO. I was too busy watching that, rather than paying attention to the music etc. And one of the girls hauling that thing around the field slipped and I thought she was going to get ran over by it. Overall, they were much better than I expected. Blue Devils. They will make this a close finals with the Cavaliers. Their horn book is good, and the hornline is better. The show is very entertaining, and I guess that's the point of it all, BUT I can't stand the play-by-play announcer. Thanks to this trend, every other corps will be singing and yapping, because "the Blue Devils do it." This is a bad trend, and it's only going to get worse. I didn't stay for the scores John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsCorps Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Question: What is the purpose of the girl dancing around the sundial changing into different color dresses in the Capital Regiment? Is she a Carmen wantabe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
