loopin' froot loops

Didn't see it anywhere else, but it's pretty cool that at semis they got their highest score in 20 years!

Partial panel or not, these scores certainly make tomorrow all the more interesting for Denver.

Well, they were taking subcaption ordinals from them, head-to-head on the West coast. While that doesn't make it probable this would happen, it is certainly possible.

I have no idea what the storyline in the back half of their show is about, but I'm digging the Crossmen. posted from the DrumScorps app

Could somebody explain to me how the detail on the inside of the pants fits the show theme? Genuinely curious. posted from the DrumScorps app

1- Bluecoats 2- Carolina Crown 3- Blue Devils 4- SCV 5- Blue Knights 6- Boston Crusaders 7- Cadets 8- Cavaliers 9- Phantom Regiment 10- Blue Stars 11- Madison Scouts 12- Mandarins 13- Colts 14- Academy 15- Blue Devils B 16- Crossmen 17- Troopers 18- Spirit of Atlanta 19- SCVC 20- Genesis 21- Pacific Crest 22- Legends 23- Oregon Crusaders 24- Golden Empire 25- Music City

I think we are going to see more of the effects type of electronics being used (electronic modulation of the sound going through the microphone). The Cavaliers, Bluecoats, and especially Blue Knights delved into that this season, so I expect the bar to be raised by a few other corps next season.

That may have been the loudest crowd reaction EVER from a NightBeat crowd for Blue Devils

Now THAT is an ending!!!!!!! The dissolving crosses to the end had me on my feet, and I'm just watching the webcast!

Sent you a PM

I saw this Corps perform for the first time in Atlanta, and I was very impressed and enjoyed their show. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this, but why is it that they are scoring as low as they are? I didn't see a 4 point spread between them and Mandarins, for instance.

From what I understand, Blue Devils are debuting a new ending tonight.

Considering performance order didn't play much into the order of placement yesterday is MN, I'll be optimistic and say that the groupings of 3 here will not be the same come Atlanta next week.

This is my first broadcast of the season, so I'm pumped. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of groups for the first time this season!

That's the BDPD, thank you very much

I'll give it a shot: 1- Blue Devils 70.15 2- SCV- 68.9 3- Blue Knights 65.7 4- Madison Scouts 63.2 5- Academy 59.7 6- Pacific Crest 57.5 7- Mandarins 55.4

Actually, no, I did not. However, I was speaking more of a design vs execution standpoint, not so much on a who was cleaner or had the best drill on June 20something standpoint. Not to take anything away from Bluecoats, because I was definitely WOWed by them, but I felt, after 1 viewing mind you, that they may be passed later on the season and not keep their place on top of all the other corps beneath team. That's all! :-)

I actually thought the camera angles from earlier this week made the show easier to understand, thus made it come across better. For example, I felt the broadcast tonight totally missed the entrance of the Adonis character, which appears to be a huge GE moment of the show.

Congrats to Bluecoats on winning the first show of the season! That being said, watch out: the corps below you may pass you once they clean up some of their dirt. However, I'd love for you to prove me wrong! It is shaping up to be another competitive season of drum corps!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but on the webcast that just ended, didn't they say that we could download one of the videos for free? If so, I'm not seeing that option.

#### that has some really cool moments. Cannot wait to see these two shows in person in Atlanta!

Much stronger Cavaliers June show than I have been seeing in recent memory. While I'm not sure the denseness of their drill formations is needed as much as they use it, they're definitely sending a strong message that they are coming out swinging this year.

Is anyone actually getting that new website to load? I'm getting connection failure on my end.

Small changes, but huge upgrade IMO.

This is probably my least informed prediction in almost a decade, but here is who I think makes the Quarterfinals movie theater telecast: 1- Carolina Crown 2- Blue Devils 3- Cadets 4- SCV 5- Blue Knights 6- Bluecoats 7- Cavaliers 8- Blue Stars 9- Madison Scouts 10- Phantom Regiment 11- The Academy 12- Boston Crusaders 13- Crossmen 14- Troopers 15- Colts Edited thanks to a DUH moment on my part, where the open class champion cannot perform there on quarterfinals day, since they will all perform before any world class corps. I will still predict that after prelims, that is where the Open Class Champion will stand (in 14th).
