crfrey71 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I voted for cadets, with Bluecoats a very close 2nd. I loved when Rondo said "Tika taka tika taka taco bell" The Cadets rapping, a vocal percussion ensemble was so cheesy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawker Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I loved when Rondo said "Tika taka tika taka taco bell" BWHAHAHAHA! They actually let him get away with that? Rondo is gettin' brave in his old age. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN DCI Fan Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Definitely Blue Devils, but followed closely by the 'Coats. I actually liked the way Cascades used the narration, and Cadets' use is fairly palatable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geluf Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I don't think what Coats did is really "narration" per se. But yeah, its still annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsRadio Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'm not sure that the narration itself is what bugged me about BD. I didn't like the show design - I've read others who said things along the lines of: the corps seems like background music to the narration/concept behind the show. The members perform wonderfully in most areas, but I don't like their concept. I have no problem with the way it was used by the other corps.

"Tika Taka tika taka and whatever that drum rap cadets was doing was way more then the "Yowsa" Yowsa was said 6 times in a matter of 15 seconds and that was it for "Yowsa."

SkyRyder_FMM Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What I'd like to know is that since narration has been added, will sign language interpreters be provided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContraRich77 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 There is ONE thing I noticed that I'm not sure anyone else has: Of the corps that used narration LAST year, NONE of them are using it THIS year. wonder why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yowza, yowza, yowza! That's a tough choice. All four are annoying to me. Yowza, yowza, yowza! The Blue Devils and Cascades more so, though, because their narration lasts longer. Yowza, yowza, yowza! Just a couple of minor changes could make things more entertaining, though. Yowza, yowza, yowza! Imagine this twist on finals night: "One thousand hours of continuous dance...." becomes "One thousand hours of continuous amplified narration...." Yowza, yowza, yowza! Or the Cascades could alter: "Will man once again create the enemy?" to "Will Yamaha once again create the enemy?" Yowza, yowza, yowza! Now we're talking! Seriously, though, I'm afraid the reality is that nearly all good music renders narration unnecessary. Yowza, yowza, yowza! And at that point, any attempt to add narration anyway just seems inane and out of place. Yowza, yowza, yowza! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
