And, you know, the beats is not everything for a good show. It's also the general effect and the performance which most groups have a problem with. And just plain looking up!!!
Re: NCBA Championship show, 4/4/2009
Agreed. Major props to the Rodriguez staff and their kids. Great show and design.Steven wrote:I didn't notice how little the drumline was playing because the mallet line was smoking everyone else in the division. ^.-anyapples17 wrote: I personally think that Rodriguez shouldn't have won, their drumline didn't play half the time, and they were mostly skipping around and acting like little kids, which is their show, but maybe they could have had some harder music besides Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Re: NCBA Championship show, 4/4/2009
Um. there was a whole lot more after "twinkle twinkle llittle star" which if you looked at the cymbals it was meant to be abc's. The mallet line played more than there fair share of hard music. Plus, there were only two parts in the show where the battery wasnt playing.anyapples17 wrote: I personally think that Rodriguez shouldn't have won, their drumline didn't play half the time, and they were mostly skipping around and acting like little kids, which is their show, but maybe they could have had some harder music besides Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Re: NCBA Championship show, 4/4/2009
whoa whoa whoa.....easy everyone. Yes, some people may have their own personal opinions, but all in all the race for scholastic was CLOSE. 83.9 AND 83.6 (champs and 1st) is hardly getting smoked, but Rodriguez did come out on top. Each group has their strengths and weaknesses.....this year was one of the most competitive, and surprising years in NCBA history. To me, every group brought something different.....which made this year one to remember. Congrats to everyone on an amazing season!!

Re: NCBA Championship show, 4/4/2009
Its kind of reverse tic system:D
Me and Ben Prima were chatting about the subject after ncba finals at a party. (Thank you JBdrummerdude!) He was saying when he marched vanguard in 04 he thought blue devils would score more "points" than vanguard because they had better players. (Vanguard won high drums that year)
It turned into a discussion about how funny it would be if there was tic system that awarded point as apposed to taking away points.
