Freelancers first Corp I ever seen. 1981, yes, I'm old! Been drum Corp fan since. Sad to see them go, but Mandarins doing it! Go sac, and go Mandarins!

[@jennymccombie9604]

​@@freyravin9068Freelancers were the first drum corp a bunch of us band kids from Ponderosa high school in Shingle springs went to see . Totally blew our minds ! Hughes stadium and we were in such a damn hurry to get to the show that we locked our car keys in the car. Afterwards we started going to watch Blue devils and Santa Clara Van Guard rehearse every chance we got. Loved them all equally. Miss lying to our parents and hightailing it down to the bay area to get our fix . Miss Freelancers but these guys are totally awesome.

Duet into big brass hit 6:40 to 8:00 sounded awesome.

[@guitarmansegovia]

I came to the awesomeness of this corps watching them live in Denton, and sitting two rows in front of Key Poulan, listening to his commentary. Between his brass writing and Harmsen’s percussion chops, this corps is a serious contender. As for this specific show, I got to watch it live in Canyon last Tuesday, and was blown away by that insane hornline. Way to go, Mandarins!

[@W0mPW0mP1]

6:42-7:58 The build up to when they put it all out on the field is absolutely crazy! I still think about it after 2 years, truly amazing

[@patrickpelletier1862]

[@gregoryokada735]

So, so wildly proud of this group. Been loving the progress the drumline has steadily been making, but I can't believe the strides that the hornline has made! That entire last section in the ballad with the footwork and the contras just blasting, and then that crescendo at 9:30 with the weird head/breathing angles on the tarp; chef's kiss. And don't think I didn't see the homie at 3:57 hit that rifle toss perfectly with the fierce look at the end (also these color guard uniforms go so hard). And finally, to the far-side quad player who flubbed the front flip at 9:38 heading into the build before the final segment of the closer; know that I dropped my stick on my last performance ever on a left hand toss during WGI 2012. Whether it was your last performance or not, one tick or one mistake or anything less than a "perfect performance" does not at all dictate the impact of the show, the impact of what you brought to the table, and should never cloud what you took away from the entire summer. Bravo, Mandarins. Damn proud to be an alum these days.

[@trap4dafu2k0fit]

Them Mandarins going places. I gotz feeling they could get top 6 next year. If Dci doesn't screw them over, as per habit over the years.

[@michaellinnehan9589]

They need to clean up A LOT if they’re going to score higher. DCI has been very fair and consistent with their placement of the Mandarins.

[@trap4dafu2k0fit]

Dci corporate is the one that needs to clean it up. I don't see them being a thing much longer if current trends continue. Also, since when is 8th to 6th a huge jump? Some of the cores havent performed in what will be two years time next season. They'll get top 6.

[@ikshields]

I keep thinking how much more genuinely impressive so many of these shows would be if they got ingenious with acoustic sound again, instead of letting electronics and amps generate effortless and empty effect. This feeling hasn’t diminished one bit since the day these easy crutches got let in to this formerly proud all-natural acoustic art. What’s so impressive about volume, if it isn’t the result of extraordinary lungs and tuning, but of unremarkable black boxes and a little knob that goes to “11”? What’s the point of special audible effects, if they aren’t a special technique, but a patch like any other patch on a keyboard? What is so hard to see about this? What would be so wrong with keeping it real for once, in this artificiality-obsessed world?

Think it's safe to say we will never see fast action moving drill formations like the 80s and 90s again. The last decade we have been seeing less and less . Sad

[@danielgray3691]

What??? Everyone’s drill is simpler this year due to the reduced rehearsal time. The complexity of what performers are doing now are far beyond what they were asked to do in the 80’s and 90’s, but you can’t objectively base your assessment off this year. Great job Mandarins!

DCI has pretty much turned into ballet on a football field OR a halftime Super Bowl show. Soon you'll see turntables (already have the microphones). Surprised we don't have drum machines, a guitar line, fireworks and lights. DCI has moved so far from its roots it is almost unrecognizable and the music certainly is NOT entertaining or rememberable.

[@brianhale2977]

The white stage is aesthetically effective, but is it meaningful? Is a show alternating visually between drill and scatterdrill and musically between climax and transition the best dci can do? Is hallucination the best metaphor for a drumcorps show? The Mandarins are really excellent performers, but they embody everything inferior about the overwrought frenetics that struggles to be a powerful show nowadays but cannot possibly make it because it is so unmelodious, impatient, and disconnected. Something really great could have been done with the red shape that begins the show, and the effort is made to turn that into an analogy, but then what starts as insight goes random and splat. Nice try, Mandarins!

[@ikshields]

I think you’re hoping for some kind of mature musical continuity, in an activity that has now long been sold out to a generation completely blind to anything beyond their own Attention Deficit Disorder. This diminished sense of building a good show musically is made all the more tragic by the obvious advances in visual design and movement, and the extraordinary chops of the young players. It could be truly thrilling. Instead, it’s mostly just frenetic and anonymous, like a highlights reel of too many fragments of unrelated movies.

[@zoeybatterup152]

The show is based off of Yayoi Kusama and her artwork. The ending dance phrase is a quote from her

[@gregoryokada735]

These old head takes are tired and sad. Let the kids be daring - let them tell stories and craft narratives and artistic expression how they will. Abstract forms and expressionism or even purposefully challenging non-narratives are all valid and meaningful forms of expression, have been for centuries, and will continue to be long after anyone currently living is dead. Further, GE isn't everything. Never has been. No one cares if you don't like late-era Coltrane or Sun-Ra or if you believe Seven Samurai is objectively better than Rhapsody in August because it has a far cleaner narrative and character motivations - this show didn't speak to you. That's fine. But it clearly spoke to a lot of people, most importantly, the performers. Especially considering drum corps is an art form in which none of the actual people you're watching get to write the bones of the show (while I am sure there is plenty of input, especially nowadays), and definitely not the concept of it - this dismissiveness is actually offensive to those who put their heart and souls into this performance you choosing to chastise when you could have just been silent. Nice try, Brian - what could have been a great comment complimenting something you liked about the show was made a patronizing review that no one asked for, all to the detriment to those who put it on for you.
