fourouttheforty Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I sure would like to see a fleur-de-lis at the end, but the ending last night was alright with me because it seemed like it was far better than the soft ending everyone talked about mid season.

Cop Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 It looked and sounded to me like Scouts were not "Giving all up" yet. And thats good news too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe those are complete, but they're saving them for Saturday. This season has been too special for them to throw it away with a lame ending. I think the boys (and girl) have something up their sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not what the Scouts are about. 5th place or 10th place, it's all about performing one more show, trying to be entertaining for one more show, etc. That ending was horrific....the drill was alright, but you simply can not just do some cool drill and then stop and play a long chord. Oooo...theres effect. lame Heres to hoping the fix it. But i really feel that they have made too many changes this year and its gonna hurt them in the long run. And they need to do a lot more than fix the ending if they want to stay on top of Bluecoats and possibly Glassmen. Although there CG is better than in pastit was EXTREMELY dirty last night. Also, the drill is designed better but they aren't performing it. Intervals were ok, but lines were extremely dirty as well. Lets go Scouts!

shawn craig Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well that's the third ending the've tried and the are allpretty weak. I can't understand why they can't find something that has the impact that a show like this needs. It just dies after the drum solo (along with Carmen ) And I think it's too late to pull out another secret ending. I think you found the problem. The show is about Carmen and they kill her off way too early and have nothing left to do. I do like this show overall also. Almost the old Scouts back!

The only "down" year in the view of the true Madison Philosophy which is still taught and preached today was 2004. Every year leading up to that the corps was amazing with an extremely entertaining show that the members went out there everyday busting their butts for.

jafar Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) for some reason the scouts ending kinda reminded me of the cavaliers 1997 ending Edited August 12, 2005 by jafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DCP crowd was all over Scouts for the fade out ending (even though the scores were better). 3 loud endings later, you're still not satisfied. The end of Carmen is about DEATH. That's why the down ending worked for the show's continuity. It works with Bizet, but probably not with the Richard Nixon High band ending.

I didn't realize there had been a philosophy change in 2004. Please clarify... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
