[CarlosJones]

Proud to say #1, that’s in my area, and #2, I’ve been in the stadium and marched on that field, and #3, I will be marching on that field again!

[Moosepants]

I was waiting for the lights to actually go out lol

[voiceofreason]

I loved this show. Great marching, great music and NO PROPS!

[izzylangland]

This is why I wear their merch. Listen to their shows as I write in my charts and counts for my show, learn their choreo for fun, train to be and act like them to perform better for my band. Why I also named my mellophone Babylon by my favorite show of theirs.

I watched the show in person, and they were great!

[jmgerraughty]

I haven't seen the full show, but if there's no set pieces in the entire show, I'm psyched.

So cool how much cleaner it got by finals

Oml that last vis hurt MY legs. Forced arches already hurt for me, so holy crap.

For those who don’t know what a forced arch is, it’s basically a visual with both knees bent, but one foot is parallel (edit— Perpendicular I meant. It makes a T) to the ground. Forced arches are done (in my band) with legs just lined up with our shoulders. You keep your hips facing the sidelines, and most of the time in drum corps and marching band finalists they have a 45 - 50 degree angle with the upper body with forced arches. It’s a very difficult thing to do, but bands and corps do it so well that it looks like something everyone can do.

Another visual that looks easy is used in a lot of marching shows. It looks so simple, but takes a lot of lower body strength. It’s just getting on one knee and back up smoothly. It’s very common, but very difficult.

I wish I could identify a drum corps these days. Would have no idea this was SCV without a title. I miss traditional uniforms.

[future.mortician]

Awesome show… also honestly love no props. So unusual to see these days.

[SailorGolf]

The lights stayed on !!!
What did I miss ???

[chaos.creations]

This is my dream, the only thing stopping me is how much gosh dang money it costs to get in, and probably a LOT of skill 😂😂

[nigelfortes]

Beginning sounds like high brass feature from CC 2014 🤠

[jacobhanekamp]

The only group that can say that they turned out the lights is Bluecoats because the lights died in Whitewater right after their show 😂
