Liam Allen Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Season starts of Friday even though it’s not scored. Best of luck to the corps, the performers, and most of all to the BD drum major/soprano saxophone! Quote
Tubalord11 Posted June 26 Posted June 26 preds cause why not: 1. BAC (GE, guard, perc) 2. Bloo 3. BD (visual) 4. Crown (brass) 5. PR 6. SCV/Mandis 7. Mandis/SCV 8. Troopers 9. Cavies 10. Blue Stars 11. Colts 12. Pacific Crest( PLEASE) Obv it’s wayyyy too early to tell, 1-4, 5-7 and 8-11 could go anyway. I predict the battle for 12th to be insane, I would LOVE a tie so we get 13 finalist. For captions same thing, but yeah, can’t wait for this weekend!! Quote
Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted June 28 Popular Post Posted June 28 Thoughts on tonight: Cavies: Omg this show is sooooo much better than last years. Bent leg is back. Their brass back is pretty challenging at times. Guard was really solid, great rifle moments. The Euph in the ballad had an interesting tone, but still rocked it. Some really cool drill moments that come SA or earlier will be super effective. Very untested to see Phantom-OH. MY.GOSH!!! I loved last year a ton but wow they have stepped it up again!! While it will be hard, it’s got medal potential. I mean holy mellos. Their book top to bottom is much better imo, love that ballad. The show might not have a name, which is think is cool because it leaves it up to personal interpretation. Guard was great as well. I’d be very surprised if they moved down at all, hopefully going up!! Crown- while I love their brass book, I was a little disappointed. The drill is somewhat High School level stuff, I mean it’s so easy to tell it’s a Cartwright show, feels like Broken Arrow 22. And the drill was very messy. Idk how there gonna do, again brass is ridiculous per the usual but this definitely isn’t the right direction if they’re trying to go up imo. overall great night. This year is gonna be insane, super excited for SCV here later and Bloo and west coast tour tomorrow. Trombone_lover17, SharksAreCool and Rubisco 3 Quote
Rubisco Posted June 28 Posted June 28 I haven't watched The Cavaliers yet, but I agree with your takes on Phantom and Crown. Phantom, I think, is better than they were last year, even with the twisted, cobwebby curtains blowing in the wind tonight. I wish there was a little more to chew on intellectually, and having a clear theme might have helped with that, but aesthetically and emotionally it's there. It still manages to feel coherent, while taking you lots of places. So many cool moments, like when the curtains are spinning, and the marching members weave throughout them like threads in some giant sewing machine. The strong sense of visual balance is established right away, too, with the gorgeous opening curvilinear and staging of the guard with the marchers throughout the impact. Crown for me has a bit of a wild show right now, at least once it gets going. The opening, with its corny, theatrical procession of fabric -- of the portentous sort that we've seen so many times now -- had me checking my watch. But then Music for Prague throws us immediately into the fire, which is thrilling. Lots of gorgeous musicianship from the brass, especially the ballad crescendo, which is expected from them. There was one really cool follow-the-leader moment, and overall the drill is well-written, but not much wowed me. A lot, as you remarked, is familiar from the BOA world. Guard is really going for it, with room for growth in the execution. Really, the entire visual performance, from upstairs to downstairs, needs work, if they want to reclaim a top 4 spot this year. I was also struck by how their show felt more incoherent than Phantom's production, despite having a title and ostensibly a concept. I would have given Phantom first place tonight, especially with the visual performance being a bit cleaner. I think Crown has a lot to work with, however, if they can figure out how to clean and shape it. Tubalord11 and Trombone_lover17 2 Quote

I think them Blue Stars and Troopers will be neck and neck all season, but we’ll see if they can break top 7, but they’re definitely on the right track. But I do think they could be a dark horse. Also, SCV was insane!! Being inside def helped but they are pumping out some serious sound!! I mean that book is insane, probably will be my favorite show from them since 18, I mean holy crap. They’re top 5 rn fs, could maybe just maybe medal if they really push for it, but yeah they’re back if they weren’t already. This season is going to be insane. I think we might see changes all season till SA, but I mean wow everyone is locked in Quote

Rubisco Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Oh, yeah. The Cavaliers are way better than they were last year, when they were quite, "Eek!" both in performance and design at the first show. The drill writing in particular is SO much better. They'll probably place 7th to 9th this year, although I haven't seen enough to really know. I do wish the designers had done more to illustrate the Shape Shift theme, like have the members transform or something. As of right now, it seems like they could have slapped a number of names onto the show and been fine. Actually, maybe THAT'S the shape shift part. 😅 SharksAreCool and Tubalord11 1 1 Quote

Tubalord11 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Bluecoats were pretty strong ngl. It’s got some really cool moments, but I do kinda feel like it’s somewhat-ish, very ish to the same as last year from a high level design point. The props can be a little distracting at times, but I mean wow they sound great. Some cool visual moments as well. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t top 3, I think it’s beatable but they could def go back to back, maybe. Can’t wait to see how they do! Quote
Tubalord11 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Thoughts from west coast: Troopers: I love their sound. It’s definitely a little less story driven than the last 2 years but I’m kinda fine with that. The Mahler ending is wow. I think they’ll place around the same, but a good start to their season. Colts: my favorite show of theirs post Covid fs! Brass book is very nice. They were imo the least polished of the night all around though I doubt the scores will reflect that. They def have a ton of back half season potential and I’m sure they’ll do well. It’s a very weird show and I love that. Will def be a fun one to see over the summer! BD- My biggest gripe is that for not the most insane show, it’s moderately dirty. And no, I’m not a BD hater. I do love the brass features, and the visual moment at the end with the big circle is soooo cool! I have no idea how they’ll do but I do enjoy this show a good amount, some very cool stuff. BAC- 5 BIG BOOOMS FOR BOSTON!! But in all seriousness I love this show, and it’s definitely got 1st place potential. I could see why some may disagree and I do see why. Some moments do flow as well as others, but when they clean that brass they will be ridiculous bc that book has so many notes omg. Guard is insane as well, obv. Ballad was just beautiful, I love how they split the props up. At this point, everyone is so strong I have no idea how is gonna do. BK- my favorite BK show post Covid as well. I think this could get them into finals. Think they do a great job presenting the theme, and their brass is pretty solid. Also,‘hello Oboe. Great stuff. gregorydf01 1 Quote
SharksAreCool Posted June 29 Posted June 29 It’s so hard not to overreact in the beginning of the season because everyone is looking so good. BD is always on fire, BC is going insane, and the Troopers, Colts, and BK are on the rise. This year is gonna be so fun. Tubalord11 1 Quote
Popular Post Rubisco Posted June 29 Popular Post Posted June 29 I think we're in for a very competitive season from top to bottom. I actually would have had Blue Devils over Boston last night, although it was close. There's nothing in Boston's show that reaches the magnificence of the beginning and ending parts of the Blue Devils' show. The problem is all the stuff between the bookends, and making it feel seamless. But then I also thought Boston and Bloo had pacing issues. The shows at the top all feel a bit busy and overstuffed to me. Bloo has absolutely amazing moments sprinkled throughout, minimalist soundscaping stuff akin to their 2015 show, but those moments aren't connected so great, and the visual is a tad cramped and cluttery at times with all the boxes on the field. It's a little reminiscent of Blue Devils from last season. I find myself wanting more formal beauty from Bloo again, of the sort we got during their ballad last year. I want the visual to breathe more. Boston's show, it's one of those shows that's well-performed, but I don't remember it so great after watching it. I think I was expecting more memorable space age visuals or something. As of right now, I view it as a great drill, great music show, with an amazing color guard. But I want to be more hooked. I want some strange, contemporary freshness. Also, I want their low brass to maybe pull back a little. It's a little... Texas loud Boom-y? 😅 SCV has stepped it up -- one of the ones that I think is better than last year, along with Devils, Phantom, and probably Crown, once they clean their visual. SCV has flashes of that gorgeous Gaines formal drill, mixed with the more gobbledygooky contemporary style. I'm not sure SCV's performance will be polished enough by the end of the season to challenge the top 3, however, outside of percussion. Color guard, for example, is noticeably weaker. I'm genuinely curious how far out from the top 3 Phantom and Crown will land. I don't think there's any one show right now that screams gold medal -- just some gold medal worthy moments here and there. J-Mike16, SharksAreCool and Tubalord11 3 Quote
