From the last "diamonds in the sky" to the end, I get completely verklempt. I've never had a BD horn line draw me into a show like this before. In Nashville I could literally see the mm's pulling the crowd in at the end. They sold it. I bought it. If anyone says they can't get into a BD show, let them watch this one. PS: I called #18 when they announced their program. ;P PPS: That trombonist is phenomenal. The addition of Mr. Seawright's audio was just the coup de gras! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmiggles Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Watching this show at Lucas Oil was so magical. The video doesn't do it justice how much the crowd appreciated the performance. Standing ovation after each production. People we're going nuts during the last moment of the ballad. Then after the last Rihanna sample in the closer, everyone was on their feet and I could barely hear the last chord. BD proved the championship was theirs. Well deserved! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Guns Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Was just reading the article on dci.org about BDs title last night and it said BD captured it's seventh unbeaten season. I could have sworn last night was BD eighth, 77, 82, 94, 09, 10, 12, 14, and 17. Any BD alums who marched those years particularly 77, 82, and 94 confirm that?

flammaster Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 82 was the first. Also when Jerry had a heart attack and Moxley stepped in until Gibbs took over in 91. I was at that show they use the recording of. It was the first competition which they had been doing exhibition the previous year when I first saw them as an 8 year old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera panned to the crowd and there was someone wearing a METAMORPH shirt lol. Guess some BD fans stuck around to take in a preseason game. Saying they aren't from the Indy area. Might've been the parents of the Lions' center, Travis Swanson. His father.Todd, was BD's DM in 83, bari prior to that (Prior Trooper, as well.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
