I wish everyone could be so lucky as to not have seen or experience any homophobia during their marching career.

No, there's a new ending that they've been rehearsing for quite a while now...was expecting it tonight as I saw it being rehearsed a few days ago and it looked show-ready.

And the guard feature is a hot mess - congrats BAC!

Yea, that was earned.

BD’s opening flagwork is so challenging and they just killed it. They won’t give up high guard without a fight.

Boston’s putting up a fight for high guard! Let’s see if BD can bring it!

Good job BAC guard!

I have to say, and I know how minor this is, but I really appreciate that’s SCV’s guard rolls up their silks before storing them in the props. I think it’s really distracting when Bloo’s chairs have swaths of pink silk hanging down them.

I think BAC is going to take guard tonight, which makes tomorrow night even more interesting.

Unfortunately, that incredible dance feature leads into a ballad with some of the worst flag writing in all of DCI this year. I think I’m disappointed that the incredible lyricism of their past books isn’t as evident this year.

Rough night for BD’s flag lines

Yea, and I think this is just where it come down to how the individual judge sees it. For me, when I compare BD’s Sabre feature tonight to that of Cavaliers or Crown, I find that BD is less technologically challenging but much, much better executed. How do you say which is better? I don’t have an answer for that, but I commend a judge for calling it as they see it, I wish there was more of this in DCI and WGI judging.

Seems pretty on the nose. BD is clean, but they just aren’t attempting anything near the level of the rest of the top 6.

I agree in sentiment. I wish their flag book was better written this year. Compared to last year, this year’s book, especially the ballad just lacks musicality and virtuosity. They’re performing at incredibly high levels, but the way they move the equipment just isn’t as visually interesting to me as the rest of the top 6.

There's a short, ~30-second video out there on tumblr. Looks good. EDIT: It's been removed, sorry folks.
