Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Great technical stuff in the third movement. Nice phrasing too. This show takes awhile to get into. Is there supposed to be narration? Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Nice show. The visual program is kinda blah. Great brass playing. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 OMG. I can't believe I just watched a Rocky show by a top level Corps. It was pure awesomeness. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Crusaders starting with the theme from 2001 is cool, but they need to get that timpani a lot louder. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Conquest Theme to finish. Great show! Nice crowd reaction. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Blue Knights has a lot of trumpets that think they are in the Blue Devils but aren't for a reason. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 I'm not sure that I've ever seen an extended pit break before. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Xenon said: Blue Knights has a lot of trumpets that think they are in the Blue Devils but aren't for a reason. Agreed. There was a lot of pitch finding in the first movement. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 I'm not sure what to think about this show. It keeps bouncing between melancholy darkness and eerie confused lightness. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Unwar Unnecessarily Confusing Programs. The program just felt kinda dry, this coming from a person who has been a fan of the last few Knight shows. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 The Cavaliers next. For the next 15 minutes, you may call me Daniel-San. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Someone yelled "Go Ashley!" to an all male corps. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Xenon said: Someone yelled "Go Ashley!" to an all male corps. Could have been Ash-lee. Straight outta Compton. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Holy crap, jumping over other corps members. Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 This show was nothing but pure visual awesomeness beyond belief with some music based on the same 5 chords as last year. Quote

Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Crown is doing more visually this year. Christ, what horn control! Quote
Xenon Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Crown is the Marcus of Drum Corps. They play lovely light upbeat music with lots of technical greatness with grace and beauty. Quote
Danpod Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Love the Crown set at the end! That little drum phrase used in 2007's show is back again. It's great stuff! Quote
