mnkyman Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Like how come some marching shows are soooo boring. but then again some bands have awesome shows. who do yall think has a boring show or awesome show? it all come down to personal opinion... 1 movement of a show can be "boring" to one person, and exciting to another (my basic thought: i hate most slow movements, no matter the band...its rare that i like a slow movement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well, depends on what your definition of boring is... Is boring when the band puts a lot of GE into their show, or is it when they play awesome music at insane levels? Or is it when they are uber-clean on the field and the visuals really come across? I think the only thing that makes a marching show boring or interesting is the initial design by the directors and arrangers/drill writers, and then the hard work of the kids to make magic happen.

Aegis Fang Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I think it's more of a subconcious thing. If the kids want to perform well and make the crowd happy, then they'll most likely have a show that's more fun and exciting than that of a band that just wants to get it over with. But you have to have good music and drill too. I don't care how good the band is, if you put Reagan or Carmel on a field and have them play "mary had a little lamb", the show will most likely suck, just because everyone's heard the music a milion times and it's just original music. But if a 40 person band plays beautiful music and has a strong show, then it's got potential. Sorry, it's late and I'm tired, and I have a synopsis due tomorrow =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well like to me boring is when the show like doesnt have any eye catching sets or any good music. like song songs ususally not really interesting. i guess too me the music and show have to go together cuz some shows dont really make since in the way the musics written and the way the drills are. but thats my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xukaniz Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 2 things. 1. Money - its a known fact that most good shows nowadays are being written by known composers, and some bands just cant afford such drill/music. 2. Apathy - If the band director/staff doesnt have the willpower to write good music/drill themselves, or for that matter, raise a well-taught band.

BlinK Day 41 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 to me a show is boring if the band can't handle the dynamics. if theyre just blasting the entire time or u can barely hear them the whole show it's one of those things i could just sleep through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 its all opinionated really, i personally like a fast and loud show but if its fast and loud the entire time, it gets kinda monotonous(sp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-DubbMellophone0902 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 yeah, i guess it's a personall thing. all the shows i thought were boring were the ones that scored the highest. go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
