And now we have the Colts on the Colts’ field

Crowd is definitely on the small side this Thursday PM

Big standing o as the old school dm comes down the 50

Love Trops’ unis

Beautiful brass horns

And here comes F-Troop!

And Akron was Bluecoats home show to be fair. However, Marion is pretty much a neutral field, and PR got a good response, Blue Stars a better response and Bluecoats the best.

I don’t think that will happen. As far as fan reaction goes, the biggest positive fan reaction I have seen so far is for the Bluecoats with a thoroughly modern design.

I think we may also see more of a regional touring model in the future.

1. Bloo will continue to attract top talent (with few age outs this year) No real change except next year, Bloo should be loaded with vets 2. PR and Cadets will are moving toward destination corps status positive change 3. Boston will continue to attract too talent as well No real change 4. Blue Stars will be getting second looks from top talent Maybe a change

“So the stripe things are made out of this material.” Holds up iPhone so Dad (and I) can see. Dad leans over my shoulder. He is wearing Axe body spray. To myself: “The word you are looking for is ‘Spandex.’”

It was between corps, but it went on all night. I was so glad they didn’t stick around for Bloo’s encore.

I was close to the press box last night … what the mikes would have picked up was a loud conversation between a father in the row behind me and to my right, to his daughter and boy friend next to me on my left … “Do you see Matt? He’s next to the bongo thing” “Yes, I see him. Our color guard uniforms are awful this year. There are these stripe things we have to pull over our tights, and no one can get them to work. And we have to push props all over the field, like we have to push them two stripes of the field in eight counts. And the guard is almost all freshmen. We have like only two seniors, including me, so like a bunch of 14 year olds are pushing these really heavy props. I don’t know why he is making us wear those stripe things …” Did I mention this was a very loud conversation?

The odds are good I’ll be there after the shows

As I just posted in another thread … Slippery Noodle is open til 1:00.

Slippery Noodle closed at 2:00. I know. They kicked me out. Actually, I just checked … they close at 1:00 now.

Anything goes in Indy is not the same as anything goes in the Bay Area.

Well when I marched, they sold LPs.

I’ll check it out, thanks

It was a better run tonight

Wow … Cladagh’s is my go to bar … ok, one of them anyway. That really sucks,

No problem with the soloists tonight! Maybe a couple of tarp issues, but what a great show!

I think Blue Stars’ visual program is the most underrated in DCI.

I think Blue Stars need a bigger horn line … and that guard proves that this is Michael Shapiro’s world and we are just living in it.

Phantom looked very good tonight. Great mello section!
