Honestly this so was so refreshing and made me feel something I haven't felt since watching my first wgi show live

[@ashtonvanderveur5971]

This show is so fricking dope - I get chills every time during that last impact when they slow down the roll

[@eldenbling2615]

Best bass line ever? love the soft mallets

[@nzane1216]

the most destructive thing one can do is rob themselves of their own free will, whether it be to please others, or to not go against weak priorities. It's this terrifying internal war that's waged inside the mind of vulnerable people that tears their lives apart, yet some refuse to give up, because one day, maybe things will be better. Ili

[@mr.fatman.]

Do you know what happened to his videos?

[@mel-px7hl]

Mr. Fatman FloMarching snatched them up, despite them being filmed by Erik himself. Which is weird, because they left the footage from 2018 intact.

[@mel-px7hl]

Andrew Rouse the staff is pretty chill (i.e. Jason), but they slap anything and everything with a copyright claim. It’s bs.

[@ThereaalSP]

Wow just watched this again. Lovely use of spaces. I wasn’t really being critical the first time since I was geeking out (my tech was a snare in this show). What is the theme of this show?

[@ThereaalSP]

Symbolik XD

[@Tealmaker]

@Here to support that's really interesting I'm pretty sure it's called cease or cede right? Can you explain anything more in depth the show meaning and how it relates to what they do in the show? (For example why certain snares are down when 5 are up and facing the opposite direction etc)

[@Tealmaker]

@Here to support can u go into depth as to what they did in the show or examples of certain moments that Express or relate to that concept? Besides like some snares going on their knees seeming like they gave up, in trying to clean he ambiguity others and myself seem to have with identifying clear and cut expressions the players and show moments actually mean and represent

[@BigP890]

Great trumpet lesson video! Yeah! Definitely not any sort of indoor drumline. Like what even is drumline? Nope! Just a backyard trumpet lesson.

[@dodobobby5617]

What’s the song that they have recordings of

[@jeffreycanfield1939]

Let You Win and Where to Begin, both by Adam Watts.

[@mrpiklez3703]

It just sounds like noise with the echo indoors. I really wish drumline's especially ones as technically complicated as Broken City could perform outdoors. I would kill to see their performance with the floor rolled out on a field.

[@Imgrantgoes]

Its mainly the audio quality. In person its a different story

[@ashform2091]

drmnez it’s kinda a boring show 😂

[@drmnez]

@@ashform2091 based on the skill these players have from what the did in the lot I thought the show was gonna be beats city. I guess nowadays designers have to play the "theatrical" game. I wish their production would have showcased their talents way more. Definitely one of my favorite lines

[@0Aquamelon]

Ashform of course everyone has their own opinion, but I personally found this really powerful, emotional, and poetic, so I thought it was a great show. Sure, it didn’t have as much of a story as pulse did in 2017 or as many tricks as infinity did in 2019, but it had a voice, and really just hits you if you don’t try to search too deep for a meaning. Idk about everyone else, but I was crying by the end.

[@marimbalick8163]

Bruh. Freaking two minutes in and I haven't heard the whole ensemble playing together yet. I'm so tired of these filler shows winning. Like the show is only 7 minutes long and you're spending a third of it filling with pointless stuff. Why

marimbalick lmfao you can sit right the fuck down then.

[@marimbalick8163]

@@cal3191 what are you laughing at? Is your entire purpose here just to oppose everything I say? There is no point in arguing what you don't understand. I've spent six years in the marching arts, I'm fairly certain I understand them well. You're not going to change my mind or feelings about this subject and it's clear to me and anyone else you have nothing constructive to say. Like maybe (for example) that all the dancing and voice recordings that play for the first two minutes of this show aren't pointless and potentially why. If you can give me reasons then maybe I will be quiet and hear you out. But to come in like a jerk saying I should be quiet because "I don't understand the activity" and coming to that conclusion based on exactly zero knowledge of who I am and what I do is the dumbest thing you could have done in this situation. Now you're wasting your time and my time by offering absolutely nothing sensible to say.

marimbalick it’s literally art which is up to the viewers discretion. It’s just band. It’s not that deep.

God this show was boring Didn't deserve the win or be the highest scored show

[@ashform2091]

Although I agree the show was boring to those who didn’t watch the other two. but it definitely deserved the highest score.

[@fatfloppa3919]

@@ashform2091 I've watched the other shows and they're all the same. Every Broken City show is a pretentious theme with cryptic singing and long moments of nothing happening. Sure, they're really fucking clean, but if the average person is unable to tell what is happening in a show the first time they view it with no prior knowledge, then there is a serious issue with the design team.

[@ashform2091]

@@fatfloppa3919 I honestly have to agree with you. Unfortunately The judge on how clean it is, show design, visual and musical effectiveness etc... if we are to be honest I liked strykes show much more but it was just dirty. Additionally I thought even Pulse had a better show that we all could understand.

[@user-oc2by1bw3g]

[@adamwattsmusic]

​@@fatfloppa3919 I could see why you'd think it's pretentious if it doesn't align with your tastes... or if you don't think a creative work can be taken seriously by the creators or by its audience... But pretense is not only partially 'in the eye of the beholder'... but it has its source in intention... and pretense in art can really only originate in it's creators in the form of intention/motivation... (how it's perceived from there is another story entirely)... and I can tell you for sure that none of us in BCP are pretending to be something we're not.... and we're not trying to express anything that isn't truthful or sincere... and we're not trying to impress anyone... and we're not trying to please anyone but ourselves (and as a natural corollary; those who'd dig what we do)... and we're not trying to make anything more important than it is. We're just trying hard to make something authentic that's worth making and sharing for ourselves and for those who might care and appreciate it.... and for those who encounter it and don't enjoy it; bummer, but totally cool! Art is highly subjective (but not totally)... the judges found this show objectively "good"... but that doesn't make it "the best" in any way that is truly objective. Art competitions are inherently flawed in that sense... but competition has it's upsides... it can drive achievement and it helps set a framework for artists to work within (which can be satisfying----commerce is, in a way, a competitive landscape for art too---and it's very flawed... unfortunately I have a lot of experience in that realm and it can be a huge bummer... but also great). But I digress!!:)... Here's the thing... I feel a loss if anyone hears/sees anything I've contributed to creating and feels let down by it... or that they've wasted their time... but if that thing I contributed to making was made in earnest, then I can be at peace when someone doesn't get it... because it just means it wasn't for them.... then the main bummer is; if they were "forced" to sit through it (say, at a competition!) and hated it, or thought it was lame, or mistakingly thought it was pretentious, then I feel a little sorry I contributed to a painful 8 minutes of their life!:)... It's also worth noting that my contributions are pretty limited with BCP compared to other BCP'ers who are deeeeeep in the trenches... so I'm both on the inside and kind of on the outside at the same time... so when I stumbled across your comment it got me thinking... thanks for that... it's a classic KZbin-Hater'y comment... but it's a nice reminder that the product of people's creativity can be so subjective and polarizing as to elicit passionate responses in opposite directions. That's actually pretty cool.... interesting.... fascinating even... One person can think something sucks and is pretentious and it's as equally valid an opinion as the person who thinks that the very same thing is one of the best things ever. If you're not into BCP then you're probably not into this comment either... so if you've read it and you haven't enjoyed it either, then... sorry for wasting your time again! Every now and then I cure momentary boredom by replying to a KZbin comment... so... sorry, but also, thank you... and also, if you didn't like "Spine", it's not likely you'll dig "Here"... so, go grab a hotdog during our show this year.
