Sorry for the big delay on this, but I got back super late Friday night. The trip to Houston is 5 hours. Now, I am teaching at a band camp, so I've been pretty busy. You all know the scores,so I won't post them.
Please forgive me if I leave off someone.
Lone Star - They have a good drumline, as always, but the hornline and small guard (only 2) is the corps' weak spot. Keep it up and I'm sure the drumline will be a contender in a few years
Allegiance Elite - What I remember most about this corps is the color. I loved the visual program, and the music wasn't that bad either. They did this cool drill love at the end of the show that got the crowd into the show.
Spirit of Atlanta - This is the first corps that blew the crowd away. They loved this corps, and so did I. I am not a big fan of jazz on the field, but Spirit sold it to me. One of the crowd favorites tonight.
Boston Crusaders - Can't remember much about the show, except that the horn line was good but not as loud as Spirit. It was tough to go on after Spirit with this type of show. Personally, I liked Spirit better, but kudos to Crusaders for a great show.
Carolina Crown - I loved it. Much much better than last year. Even though the crowd did not get into its more classical style, I did. But then again, I'm a Phantom fan. Armenian dances seems very difficult but they pulled it off.
Glassmen - The hype about Glassmen is not fake. They are loud, good etc. etc... Clean drumline, Awesome hornline You know...the works
Blue Knights - While I am biased, I loved them more than GMen. This show rocks. The ballad is sooo beautiful, and the butterfly on cymbals is an awesome effect. One thing I didn't like was Ode to Joy. The style seemed choppy to me.
Cavaliers - Crowd favorite. My favorite. Hands down awesome show, and I'm pulling for them in Orlando. We'll see what happens. The ballad is beautiful, the pit is THE BEST in DCI that I have seen, and the closer (Machine) is just in your face drumcorps. One thing to watch for...right before Machine starts, there is about 6 or 7 rifles backfield. They do this super high toss and catch right on a dissonant horn smack. Awesome
Cadets of Bergen County - Thought they should've won, but that doesn't really matter. Awesome drill, mellos are spectacular as always. Show does have some resemblance to last year as others have said. Have the goods for a title
Blue Devils - Watched them rehearse all day. They amaze me always. Probably the loudest corps of the evening. I don't know if they can win with this show though. Time will tell. I love the Romeo and Juliet stuff, but they don't play enough of it. It's too much WSS.
Can't wait till Orlando. Review of Baton Rouge to follow.
