oldbandguy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 If I am correct about the draw in groups of 3, yes Cadets could be 9th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superOOk Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) First night with all the new changes. Blue Devils were definitely cleaner than us, of course, but that will certainly change in the next 3 weeks! Bloo was the crowd favorite last night, Denver went bonkers!

I just love the Bluecoats kids' reaction when they complete the show. The looks on their faces is just so emotional to me. It chokes me up. That's what it's all about right there! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cleaning will help tremendously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Anyone who thinks the season is over after one performance in mid July just hasn't been around the activity very long. Boo has a great design and great talent. Time to clean! In the meantime, lots to feel good about again this season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joy of performing! In your face! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PoC Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Congratulations to the Bloo percussion for winning 1st overall last night! I still think things will shuffle around a bit more with overall scores but wherever they place in the end, I think this show is a most worthy follow-up to last years tour de force championship season. Personally, I like this year better in most ways (Zappa!), and BD less (as an old timer, I get most of the references, they just don't do much for me at this point), but they execute like pros and earned a win last night. The only technical critique of Bloo that I'll mention here is the hocket sections at the beginning and end of the opener (I know the staff is on this) - incredible timing demand there that I've only heard totally locked in on 1 or 2 videos of practice runs (not so great last night). Those passages remind me of the Tuba feature from '15 that took almost the whole season to get consistently locked in, but when it did was super tasty. It's so prominent this year that it has to be nailed or else it could negatively effect initial impressions of the music program. It is so cool when they nail it though. Go Bloo! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd for Bloo was electric. Evemoreso than for a great BD show. A lot of changes that I thought add a bigger punch than the post spring training camp version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the follow the leader drill is seen as not advantageous to scoring (may not be the case), would they consider a new ending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official draw has Cadets in the 7th spot, Cavs in 6th, Bloo in 5th, followed by BAC, Crown, SCV, and BD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
