There is a thread for this on page 3 of the forums (at least on mobile).

I think the current system is fine. However, I think three judges on finals week would be most ideal in a perfect world. 1 Field Battery, 1 Field Front Ensemble, and 1 Full Percussion Ensemble Box

Brant just announced that show is being delayed due to lightning. Still hope of BD performing.

BD pit went back in the tunnel. I'm seeing lightning in the skyline.

Tickets to this show are free. Not sure why.

Having marched on that field, I think part of the reason for the dead crowd might be the distance from the field to the stands. There is a massive track between the two and space on either side. A lot of the sound and personal connection gets lost in that area. In 2014 I remember not getting a great vibe from the crowd. That was one of the reasons I love the Mankato, MN show. There isn't even room for a drum major podium, they conduct from the bleachers. Talk about personal.

I'm interested to see the Crossmen, Blue Stars, and Boston meeting up. They were the 12-10th place corps last year and this is the only time the 3 of them will be together for quite a while.

I was thinking these uniforms look a bit layered/poofy in the sleeves, but at a distance I don't think it will be noticeable. I mean, even at the distance of the last photo that layered feel fades a bit. The more I see them the more I like them.

Yep. Sort of like Carolina Crown had with their 2010-2012 uniforms.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with that. Having some similar qualities (the side cape, different sleeve colors, using an undershirt as a visible sleeve) doesn't makes a corps lack identity, in my opinion.Maybe it's because I spent 3 seasons with the Blue Stars, but I feel like they have an identity as much as any other corps.

I really like Phantom's guard uniform. Phantom's corps uniform seems like it needs a fade from the black to the white. It looks kind of harsh without it. Really liking the new Blue Star uniform. It sort of reminds me of Blue Knights mixed with Blue Devils. Hopefully we can get some more pictures of it at different angles.

Here's a clip from their preview show last night in Forrest City, Iowa. https://www.facebook.com/BlueStarsPit/videos/816849901748032/

They posted this video of the percussion section. They play some, talk some, then play some more. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHa_-fBAQW4

Love the new uniforms! They looked and sounded great last night. I'm super excited to see the progress in Minneapolis and eventually Finals.
