Dude....that was offensive...Etiwanda was pretty clean last year...but SCPA is so focused on visiual, they ignore whats important, music. Did you notice how in SCSBOA they kicked some butt? But in WBA they didn't do so good? Wanna know why? Because more points are given to visual than it should be getting!

If you're gonna be dissing lines and saying how you're glad to see they're not performing, don't say anything at all.

Just to kind of add on to Al's reply...

First of all, the sc-pa scoring sheets are set up so that:
40% of the score is music (performance analysis)
40% general effect (in which music is a sub caption)
20% visual (ensemble analysis).

Music is the most important factor, and is definitely not ignored.

Second of all, visual design is a key element to the sc-pa/wgi circuit. To be successful from a competitive standpoint, you must put a fair share of work in to this caption. Drumlines not wanting to do this would most likely be more competitive in another circuit.

As for Etiwanda, from few times I have seen them in person, I remember them playing with great quality of sound, and appearing to have a good time doing it, regardless of whether their show was visually "competitive" or not.

Everyone is allowed their personal opinion on that, but to make a public statement slamming them, or any other group for doing what they do, IS offensive.

Ok, let rephrase this for the people who have to make comments like "Wow...your instructors must be proud of your comments". I mean more is given to visual than it should.

I don't mean this offensivly, but that comment was sorta unecessary. You could of just said "Check the sheets", or something like that....geez...

You must be out of your mind. These guys at least know what clean is. I've gone to at least one show that they've been at each season, and they are always the cleanest line in the lot. I went to the WBA show this year and these guys smoked some of the big boys from SCPA (although the score didn't reflect it.) I saw Mission, Ayala, and others, and still say that Etiwanda had the best quality of sound there.

I in fact wish that they didn't decide to take the season off because they are always a breath of fresh air in the world indoor drumming. Their shows aren't some story line you have to watch develop or wait 12 weeks to figure out , just clean beats, groovin hard... The loss of Etiwanda this winter is a loss for a lot junky like me...Those guys were fun!

guys guys guys, cant we all just get a long?

There is absolutely no reason anyone should be making bad comments on other lines. I'm going to lock this thread due to lack of staying on topic and putting down each other and other lines.
