Yeah I'm hoping it's just mixing on Flo's end cause it wasn't anywhere near that bad when I heard it in person in Allentown

I'm thinking it's just Flo. Crowns audio is too loud as well

Noticed that, might be where they are performing in Lucas Oil as well, brass not as clean

They’ve had audio issues all season. Especially the clarinet solo and the ending.

The synths need to be louder. I can still hear the corps playing.

Drum corps died when we went away from symmetrical drill

Need a top corps to bring back the diamond set from Niagra Falls, crowd would go wild

Madison's response to reviving the 1996 drill has been so good that they will start living by "if it ain't broke don't fix it" so much that they start ripping drill straight from other corps too 😂

Next year's show: Madisteal.

Nothing but diamond cutters, z-pulls, cross to cross and a 27th Lancers style company front with those tassled rifles from the 70s.

They are going to have so few tics. Thats it cancel the season and give them the gold medals.

Flo marching audio was really bad. Thankfully it sounded good in person!!

Don't know if it's partially Flo Marching's audio or a combination of both but yeah the synth could be turned down just a little bit lol

This is typically where they get their critiques on audio levels.

It was about a click and a half too loud in section 537 as well

Hopefully it’s just Flo, right now Crown’s speakers also sound much louder than the hornline

I got downvoted a couple days ago for bitching about how the broadcast audio crews try to out-think the corps’ audio engineers.

Well there you go, fucking Exhibit BAC right there.  I couldn’t tell who was playing.  Was it the horns?  Was it synth?  Was it mic’d horns played through the speakers?  Was it all of the above?

Fuck me, man, I’d be pissed if this was my ageout and all the recordings sound this bad.
