So early in the season, and so god damn clean and powerful, musically and visually. Heres hoping for a win from you guys this year, cant wait for the Clifton NJ Show
I'm digging the technology! They always have something in their show. Now they found music that already has it integrated in. All that's missing for me is a more exciting and visually stimulating ending.
How I never noticed the woman having a spiritual experience the whole show until now, I'll never know. I feel you, that was pretty much me in the theater seeing this show the first time in June.
They probably just didn't have the entire intended show on the field yet and they needed a stopping point that sort of made sense. Feedback like this (and judge feedback) is gonna end up correcting it, I hope.
To clear up some misconception on the use of technology; nothing has been recorded for the trumpet sound mashup. Its a computer program that takes a live clip from the sound of the horn going into the mic and loops it for a determined amount of time. Nothing is pre-recorded
At like I think it was 11:04 or something a guy trips while back stepping what was the tempo at for him to trip my gosh haha but what a performance good job everyone!! Let's go bloooooo!!!!!
Interesting concept with the looping. Some really cool effects and entertaining. I question the degree of difficulty: stand still, play some licks, loop those licks as you march while not playing. Most of their difficult playing is standing still. I expected more from them this year, and that is not it. We'll see if the judges like it.
I saw this when they were in Cincinnati. What the heck did they do with the ending?? Nothing wrong with the fadeout, but I liked it when they ran around and went to that last set where the build up culminated to nothing and they turned their heads to the audience. But now they've just made it kinda... weird. Hopefully it's getting rewritten as we speak.
@@thatoneguy285i mean most of the drill has the hornline right in the front look at tilt’s closer, that hit is pretty “in your face” cause the hornline is in front of you
Diehlman Estes At first I was uncertain about the tech. But now I'm totaling digging it. It's part of the "noise" of the show. Also, if you haven't seen SCV's "The Spark of Invention" show yet they too have similar tech in their show.
I guess my feelings were like last years show. I didn't really like it until I watched it more. I watched this a second time yesterday and was trying to figure out where the horn line was playing and where they recorded themselves. Just takes time. Loved last years show!
DKC7437LC The point of the technology is to alter the sound and make the brass sound more like just noise and not any certain note or melody. Also think of the show as people communicating by Morse code. The random entrances and back and forth playing makes it seem as if two people are communicating to each other.
Get rid of those balls. They look like hell and the way their tubing makes an un-cleanable visual mess in motion cannot be surmounted (at least with this prop design). The color guard looks very good otherwise, the drumline sounds great with only a few tiny nits that will be picked, the hornline has a few face-melting moments, but damn. Not at all a fan of this prop.
I see many opportunities to add visual punch, but those tubes aren't working. The guard looks great and it might be a great effect if they were more visible, but they're not more visible. They need more color. I love love the music.
