Studio Tan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Oh by the way, I'm still not feeling the music. It's executed extremely well, but it's not catchy, there's no sort of emotional resonance, there's nothing I took from the show beyond "what they played, they played well." It's an overrated show. The total package isn't there. They have it in them to do great melodic shows: look at 1995, 2001, 2002, 2004...HAY! they WON with those shows! Incredible! 2006 should be considered an off year like 2003 and 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylogan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I haven't been able to get the Marsalis piece out of my head since the season started. The show music is in turns aggressive, comedic, atmospheric and foreboding when it needs to be. Tons of melody. It suits the drill and it stands on its own quite well. Well done!

Matt_S Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 2006 should be considered an off year like 2003 and 2005. You're welcome to feel that way, I won't stop you. But I don't consider 2003 to be an off year at all (2005, maybe a little). 2006, on the other hand, I consider to be one of the finest shows I've seen, both musically and visually.

Studio Tan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I liked the part where they did the Robot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickCogley Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The 5/4 piece is driving me insane and is stuck in my head like a jingle. I like this show a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc oldtimer Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I really don't see how they are getting good music effect scores because it's not effective by itself with out the visual so they should be getting low numbers but they are not. Why does it need to stand by itself? Isn't what's on the field suppose to be a coordinated show presenting the corps as a whole/unit? Is a "good show" a show where if you take the guard, drumline and hornline away from each other that they will "stand on their own?" I don't feel this way. As long as the 4 elements are working (drum, horns, guard and drill) together as one I am a happy fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Tan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 "off" years are 2nd place shows? That's just how dominant the Cavies are, y'know. Anything less than 1st is an off year for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadetsaholic Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 or 2nd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS0527 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The music stands by itself just fine without the visual... It's ringing in my head right now, and I listened to it non-stop on the way home from work tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
