I like how BK's shows are so specific to them, they set themselves apart. I don't think you can equate what they do to any other corps.

SCV is the standard to winning a gold medal. BK are the standard of what it means to climb and climb. They impress me.

SCV smokes this season! I actually cry to how great it is!

Thanks. Oh and I'm glad for your reading of my entire comment. You were able to find two words out of the whole statement and take issue. Capital.

IMO I think the whole system needs adjusting. I find the enhanced sound tidious. I want to hear the music organically and not with needless microphones and distortion. I really want the ruling panel to sit down and hash some things out because we are losing musical proficiency. I am left cold with all the sounds outside the horns. I can't make out what is being played because something else might be playing something else. It is a bit cluster ####ed sometimes and hard to understand. I want to hear authentic horn playing and true ability. Again, this is just a personal opinion and not a jab at the performers. Those kids are given what they are given.

Bam! Nailed it!

Sometimes the judges just jump off the rails and decide to surprise and give what they give. I would have given SCV GE but I am not on the field judging.

I completely agree. I don't know if you are being sarcastic but that has been the direction the activity has gone. I personally don't care for staged shows but it is what it is.

Yeah you bet. Those kids in every corps work their butts off.

Agree with that. But it is what happens with a winning BD production. When they win they get marked up.

OK. Now that the entire season is over. BD is the only corps that drew tears from me.

WOW! 98.538! What a score. Good on BD tonight.

Now we are getting to some territory.

Predicted

Blue Knights will medal at some point in the near future.

I've got everything on some kind of disc, tape, cd too. Just a remarkable night and was pleased to be there.

God...I wish we could have the entire 89' finals run again. That was the most impressive night of music that I have ever experienced.

Of course I was referencing Phantom from 89'. But I did not remember the BD 2nd place score. I've always been so consumed with the 89' PR production.

Am I right with my number here?

Really? I did not remember that score.

Maybe so. It is 98.40 so it will take some wriggling but it could happen.

Like I've been saying all season. SCV production will collect historical value.

I feel for CC though. That was going into a good run but #### that mic.

Oh my. OK.

I don't have a problem with BD winning. I just have issues with how they win. They are impressive and show some nice difficulty with Metamorph I just find it lacking in true musical emotion. They are not superior in brass even though they might take that caption. Where they are impressive is GE. That is were a gold comes from most seasons and this year will be no different. If SCV takes GE then they win. It is a matter tenths sometimes and that might be what separates gold and silver.
