LIVE UPDATES: The Rock's Clash of the Corps Premiere
We are here live at the FloSports HQ in Austin, TX getting our popcorn ready to watch the premiere of Clash of the Corps
We are here live at the FloSports HQ in Austin, TX getting our popcorn ready to watch the premiere of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's production the "Clash of the Corps" at 11pm/10c on Fuse TV. So we have a couple of drum corps alumni about to watch the first episode live and give our reactions as we watch the show. Check back for updates throughout the night.
(All time for the updates are CST)
9:34pm - Just saw one of the commercials...getting excited. Hope they pop this show. Check out our Reasons to Watch so you know what we are looking for.
9:49pm - Commercial..."This is War"? hmmm.
10:00pm - Here we go!
10:07pm - First commercial break...The show obviously followed just 2 corps but surely they will recognize the existence of the other 30+ corps. Hope they revisit the other 6 months of auditions and camps.
10:15pm - Second commercial break...Applaud them for showing ALL of the diversity in the drum corps community
10:25pm - Third commercial break...Heartbreaking story of the sisters. So far...thumbs up.
10:31pm - Good on them to show the struggles we all have faced.
10:36pm - The struggles of Every Days / Spring Training are absolutely real and life changing.
10:44pm - Drum corps is hard. Good to see the human side of these performers. With how hard drum corps gets, a soft reminder from a staff member that they care, be it a side conversation, word of encouragement, etc, can go a long way in helping to reinforce a member's confidence.
10:50pm - Our Cadet alumnus says "what's a free day?"
10:54pm - The struggles of trying to design a production of this size and level of execution. Unbelievably difficult. Hope they show more in depth of how crazy it really is to design a show and the issues & challenges Cadets went through this year.
10:59pm - Final thoughts: Excited. Thought the production was solid and the telling of the emotional stories about the corps members' sister and mother has grabs your attention. Each corps will have plenty of stories to be told over the series. And, every member has their own take of what the corps' season will be like for them.
