my tie for 5th desire is becoming reality 😈😈😈

Confusion for me is if they will average Atlanta/Winston Salem like they did to determine Allentown, or if they'll do a straight average of all four if you attended both of those events. That will actually determine 3/4 for Carolina Crown and Bluecoats. If they average those two scores before plugging Atlanta weekend into the total average, Bluecoats are seeded 3rd and Carolina Crown 4th. If they just do a straight average of all four events, then Carolina Crown is seeded 3rd and Bluecoats 4th (#### Atlanta PENALTY LOL)

I appreciate BD a lot but this feels good after reading the another level no competition too good for DCI stuff BLAH BLAH BLAH all season. They’re the favorite to win still for sure, someone has to do the job and BD finishes the season better than anyone out there, but would love to see someone else take it all next week. If they win by two points again you won’t see any ill will from me but yawn. I want drama. There are three VERY hungry corps behind them. Would be amazing and well earned if one of them would do the job. There is one I would prefer to do it and one I would also be fine with, but nice to seemingly see four vastly different approaches in contention.

This feels like the kind of show that is going to ignite the audience to another realm in Indy. FTL with the muted trumpet/trombone, Take me to Church, and that finale are going to make the audience putty in their hands. Really really really want this show to finish 5th but that’s just the cherry on top of making history with a landmark show of the season.

I have a good feeling. Finish the job like last year in a week 😈 Placements whatever, can’t get anything else like this out there 💙

Next week gonna be wild. A Bluecoats win, Mandarins in 5th, Colts in 9th, and PC in 12th are on my wish list. Some are more likely than others but hey. We all like different things.

How @kdaddy feels about the PR kickout I feel about the crown set. Saw that coming miles away lol

Voiceovers feel like a bandaid.

Mandarins in Indy are gonna be absolutely bonkers. I'd be getting up after at least three moments in that show.

Crossmen turned out WAY better than I thought they ever would. Not my favorite show from them but the performance levels have come a loooooooong way this year. Especially brass.

They came in a lot louder on the impact earlier in the season, love that they save a little and really let it blossom after the first phrase there. Great change!

It’s the end of the season for sure everyone is going feral 💀 Didn't read a lot of stuff the last week and made last night a much more enjoyable viewing experience. Some things I agree with some things that make me go hmm but not gonna lose sleep over any of it. Should be fun tonight seeing where everyone fits in!

Agreed. I love a lot of things in this show and really applaud them for taking a pretty big risk with a super weird show, definitely wasn’t safe. I agree with those that have said I was expecting a lot more development, layering, and evolution, but just didn’t really happen. Not really clicking as a package like I was hoping it would in the end. I’ll still listen to it more than at least 4 or so shows that will place ahead of them, brass is delicious and I love the ballad so much. Interested in where they go next year.

Score and spread is awesome, but seeing this show start to finally click is the best part of tonight. Could tell they loved that one. Gonna be a fun final week. LOVE this show 💙

LETS GO IT AINT OVER YET.

💀

I am so happy to have seen this show live. Tonight was incredible, they are gonna absolutely blow down the dome in two weeks with all that energy 😭

🙂

Imma say sorry for being spicy on here last night (especially to you @Cappybara ) I will be the first to admit (and ALWAYS have) that I have a Bluecoats bias and it has been pretty grinding reading comments about narration and costuming ALL season long when there is so much cool stuff in the show to talk about, especially with the changes last night (enhanced awesome impact in the opener and the end of part three, added dynamic shaping and solo work in the ballad, all the changes to Bump, and the new ending to name a few!). If those aren't for you, totally get it and it's a forum so people can talk about whatever they want, but at this point those things are there and there are so many other cool things in what they do to talk about! With that I think I'll just take the rest of the season off and enjoy what the corps are offering.

Thanks for talking about something other than BuT tHe NaRrAtIoN.

Two points.

Ironically that’s a modern version of what I could see Madison doing. Same with the 2019 show.
