That number for crown is not correct. If you add total visual to total music you get -
1. Blue Devils 58.375
2. Crown 58.238
3. Bluecoats 58.225
Crazy close between the top three in performance.
This show is so full of potential. I mean if that's the bare bones I can't wait to see what it becomes. I am getting that this could become something truly special. That brass line is killer. It's only June 18th and they sound like that!
DCI posted that they were. When I contacted them a little over a week after finals this year to find out when they would be releasing them they said they never intended on releasing semis APDs, just prelims, even though they admit they advertised all season they were going to.

Spot on. All you hear every year is wow Downey wrote another great book but since 2006 at least I would say it's more 75%-25% David Glyde. They make a killer pair though.
Dave Glyde has written the brass book since 2004. Downey then arranges it for brass and adds his flair, and the Blue Devils sound to it. This combo has, in my opinion, been pure magic year in and out.
in my opinion, I dont care if you love or hate a show, love or hate the staff, EVERY CORPS get a standing opinion. You are not aplauding the show or the staff you are clapping for the KIDS who have worked non-stop for the last 2+ months to acheive a goal of being the best they can be. Anything thing less is insane to me.
