[pyroseed13]

Frakctured! Elektrik! It's all in there!

[muziknurd384]

I wish my IPE would take as much use of their cymbals as this one.

[XxSlimxBeatxX]

lmao "WE NEED MORE ENERGY!"

best part of the show.

3:09 black cymbal player with the poofy hair.... bust a nut

[aaronkundla]

Hey guys, i watched your show Saturday at wildwood and it was AMAZING! you guys deserved first place! We got the same Bullshit penalty as you :/

[XxSlimxBeatxX]

what penalty did you and they get?

just curious..=]

[aaronkundla]

We had a wet mat. Leaving debris

[XxSlimxBeatxX]

that's GAY.

[aaronkundla]

Yup, It is!

[burlearth]

The music and playing is great, the narration is dumb.

[draccanon]

it always is :P

[FinbarFinbarFinbar]

Whoooooooooooooooa! Now THAT is art!!!

[jingojoe]

i like the show its great good job guys! only thing is the 3 snares 1 tenor 5 basses and (6 cymbals!?!) it sounds realy cool but i think its a liite much.

[jlawdrummer]

I think the balance worked well. The many cymbals were also used directly in the show concept, especially all the parts about how light behaves. Cymbals = shiny = light...it was very effective in my opinion.

Keep it up NTown, I'll be seeing you guys a couple times this season :-)

This is relates back to my original point about the using of voice-over parts as a crutch. Ensembles are starting to do shows about crazy things, like quantum physics, and that's exactly my point. I personally feel a show shouldn't be about any theory or anything the audience could know nothing about. Norristown, you're an AWESOME ensemble, for sure. I just am not a fan of this type of show.

[nathanthesnare]

All I'm saying is that I'm seeing in indoor ensembles and also outdoor a particular liking to voice parts of the show. A little bit is all right, but it seems to start to become a crutch.  Like here, the girls speaks before every change in mood and before almost every phrase. It almost insults the viewer's intelligence to tell him or her what mood the ensemble is trying to portray. Let the viewer figure it out through MUSIC.

[henryso1]

ok now you said it better. what you said before made it sound like the changes they were doing werent going along with the show.

[thenixon]

i kinda get what your sayin but like you gotta understand people wouldnt get the full understanding unless the were a quantum physacist (they dont typically enjoy drumline) so like in a way we kinda needed her to help the people understand, not really the show, but more the scientific aspect ya know.

[nathanthesnare]

Yeah, I totally understand, but part of my questioning of this performance is what significance is her part on the show itself? If you say it's just for the scientific aspect, then what's even the point? Lol. I totally understand why she is necessary for the audience's understanding of the basis on which the show is built, but I do not understand why the audience needs to know anything about quantum physics or Einstein's theory of general relativity to enjoy a show.

[nathanthesnare]

Not going to lie— not what I was expecting. It was good, nonetheless, but your drill and your music didn't really portray what that annoying voice was saying. I'd say it would have been better without her. No offense. :)

[meankeane]

wow, not going to lie, your a dumb ass

[henryso1]

wtf are you trying to say?

[nathanthesnare]

Exactly what I just said. :)

[Solids2k]

Is that "Tom Sawyer" towards the end? Pretty awesome!

[ntownsnare25]
