the use of Hozier did me in.................absolutely love the Mandarins again this year! The music, the marching, the message, and the clarity of intention is standard setting. Thank you!
They will shock the world... DEFINITE top five this year (and maybe.. just maybe) will contend for a medalist spot this year. Take that to the bank. This corps is absolutely for real and they are doing in Sacramento what we never could in the Freelancers... Consistent success in the shadow of Concord and Santa Clara.
i think they need to balance the mics a little better but this is SOOOO good for early season Mandarins. great show concept and the ballad just does it for me
Very nice , i have always liked the mandarins since i first saw . Great to see them move up . But today I have issues with the guard, you can do better than this get it together. Best wishes for the remaining season. And should be able to move up at least 2 more spots. Peace and love, from San Antonio, Texas
I’m not surprised with proximity helping. No wonder they can go from 10th 90 score to top 3. Good for all involved. You need all the help you can get to beat the Blue Devils.
Fantastic show.. They need to practice slowing down a bit, and they can place higher. Most of these tunes would sound perfect with 5 or 10 fewer beats per minute.
Nothing new or original. Costumes, staging, crouching and swaying, same drum licks as everyone else, fragmented music arrangements. A lost opportunity for drum corps in 2023.
