BethTheRed Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Clear Brook.Did anyone see these guys at BOA Pearland? They're getting really good. I'd say that they're as good as Churchill and Westfield and pretty close to Reagan. Wanted to know what you guys think. Quote
iceeblue2 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Let me guess.....You're from Clear Brook right? Quote
Fortisimo Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Never even heard of em, but I'm not much for the BOA circuit anyways. Quote
BethTheRed Posted October 22, 2006 Author Posted October 22, 2006 of course not. but seriously, what did you guys think? Quote
5to5 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Hmmm...Well, he's just trying to go off the original ballet from Rite of Spring. The girls in that dance themselves to death... And, I promise, he wold be in no way embarassed no matter what kind of reaction he gets Quote
supermanuel Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Unless I'm just completely off, I do believe he marched Cavaliers last year Quote

We get it! If the viusal package needs more presence on the field--why should he tone it down? Because he's good and is potraying the music. So I assume by saying "we get it" you understand the music (Rite of Spring) and ballet by the same name? I doubt that very seriously. They used him instead of a soloist girl--because of his experience and his abilities. Did it bug the crap out of you because he's actually good? As far a the splits go--how many guys do you know that can do a full out and out split. Believe me not many--nor many young ladies for that matter. FYI--He marched the last two years with the Cavies (2005 (Cavies took 2nd) & 2006 (World Championship). He was 16 his 1st year. Quote
DesertWind Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Guard_Ian said: No it bugged the crap out of me because he was so obviously flamboyant. I do not care if he marched the Cavaliers, SO DID I! When I marched Cavaliers we were encouraged to perform with masculinity not be complete flamers on the field. You said he was portraying music....well I didn't exactly hear Clear Brook playing ABBA's "Dancing Queen". Take Churchill's male guard member, he performs very well and still keeps his masculinity. I know plenty of men and women that can do double turns and land in the splits, they are all dancers. I did not say he was a bad performer...he is a very talented young man. HOWEVER!!! A guy can dance and spin a flag and still be masculine. /gets out a fire extinguisher... But seriously, there's no need to be highly-flammable on a forum. Think through it and post without insulting people. That's not a lot to ask, and I'm not even the one asking it (Dese guys are). Maybe he was a bit flamboyant, but if he wants to be, that's his choice. Just as it is yours to not like it. However, there's really no need to say he's a "complete flamer". Quote

A guy can dance and spin a flag and still be masculine. As far as the visual package is concerned.....my opinion is, it needed a little help. The color guard for the most part was poorly staged in many parts of the show. The flag line was scattered throughout and did nothing to accentuate the music. Therefore it is my opinion and yes we all have one that the visual package needed help. I never said I didn't enjoy the show......I was just stating MY OPINION. I was going to reply--but it's just not worth it. Most of your post that I have read have a negative undertone to them. No sense discussing with negativity. Why don't you try and get to know him before you make a decision on his personality--you might be suprised. But in case you do know him--I would have to say something else pushed your button. Quote

In addition to top notch colorguard skills, your posts also indicate that you have an astute mastery of tact and respect. Quote

Art is subjective. You should know this you are after all in band. Calling someone a "complete flamer" is not giving a bad review, it's completely disrespecting them as a person. Quote
Guard_Ian Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 NO that would be critique of his performance. Since I have stirred up the hive, I took the liberty to delete my posts. I dare not subject your thin skin to my posts. This subject is closed. Quote
FastFrwrd Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I personally LOVE clear brook's show this year - I'm a huge fan of the "Rite Of Spring" and It was shockingly musical for marching - AND they didn't just park and play like many bands these days do (one of my pet peeves). REALLY REALLY enjoy them and Cedar Park this year. Quote
whitewing09 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 i didnt really like this show dont know why, i guess it didnt cling to me? yay yet another post i brought back to life Quote
