​@traceyml when I saw this on family day, we said that the band kids were in the oven because it was like 105° when we saw them rehearse

IMHO it was the absolute best show of the night!!! 💜🐉

Both Mandarins and Bloo playing Agape, this is gonna be an interesting year.

"Voo Carray" got it 😂😂 Anyways for my actual comment If they clean up the show, specifically that ballad, they are gonna go places trust

I agree. It was very distracting from the rest of the trumpets.

Bro got put on BLAST

There is a LOT of drill to clean, esp on the front end. Le clusterfuqqe a vieux carré. They sound good early on though. Tuning issues as we get later in the show. The guard… some dance days may help clean timing and technique overall. The “ghosts” need a rethink. That particular fabric ain’t it/ has crossed over to goofy. Line’s pretty tight, but there’s moments when what’s unraveling around them has them in a slightly different neighboring show. There’s tons of potential here, a million spots where they’re pointing toward what it should be. It’s just gotta step forward from good hs musical to DCI precision. I’ll be excited to see them later in the season.

THIS IS INSANE

Yessssss i love you mandarins🎉❤ this sounded so much better in person😊

I love how they added the Sousaphones

WOW at that open!!! Great job!!

mandarins with a full line of bones again?

I'm ngl the opener was great, I liked the closer but it was lowkey mid

The beginning was so cool. Huge guard.. gonna need to really clean all that. What are the white sheets representative of?

ghosts. it’s based on new orleans so jazz but also the most haunted place :)

seeing this live was amazing

mfw the early season recordings sound better than the finals recordings last year; hope flo dont botch finals recordings, because this is sounding NICE

That brass is LOUD 😮

Put hair-thin straps on those hats !!

Renegades Sound and Look. Very impactful!

Those blacked out snares and quints are freaking awesome

Guys for future reference, it is not an alto

I wish that it was tuned better at the start and the melody started like a few counts earlier. I hope they do change it a tiny bit

@@johntran284 I still don't get it where when the announcers are supposed to cue in. Is this something that the DCI has established ? Like, allowing corps to preconceive 15 secs. of the intro. prior to the announcer beginning to speak ?

Somebody watched H.L. bourgeois 2023 show lol

Geo the dog

This has got to be my fav show I’ve seen so far this year. Top 3 rn are Mandarins, Bluecoats and Phantom.

Mmmm. I like the uniforms so much better than last year. I just don't get why so many people (and judges) see them as a top-6 corps. They are sloppy (I know it's early, but commpared to the other shows I've seen thus far) and there's very little actual marching. The opener was effective - almost old school in impact - but the strongest moments like this were park and play. The color guard is barely top 10. Sorry.

I was surprised to see so much I wasn't expecting in this show, Trombones on the field for a full show, the sousaphone, another Geo solo that sounds like it should be an alto.

Well this show doesnt do it for me. Also this brass might be loud, but so not clean and out of tune. Especially the high blowers are out of tune.
