Given the flaws of some of the top 6 this year, BD will win as a matter of course. However, I will say if SCV is within striking distance, the crowd will push them over the top. Other than these two, I am just not seeing it this year. Because I'm such a sucker for storybook endings, I actually want SCV to win...but history tells us that BD will win convincingly. Either way, should be a treat to watch it unfold! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was, BD wouldn't even place in the top ten in most years since alot of people just want them to lose. But BD has a fan friendly show this year and have since 2014. Compared to 2010-2013, BD is getting alot of love from the crowds and even here on DCP. If SCV does manage to beat BD, it will be because they out performed them straight up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why BD is so hard to beat. They will never beat themselves. You have to give them your very best shot and that shot had better be a doozie or you're going to have to settle for silver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For SCV to beat out BD for the title, they'll have to run the brass-percussion-color guard table, and at least be tied in GE. I just don't see that happening. Can already see the ABBD crew rallying behind Vanguard. Predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post youraveragenoob Posted July 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2017 WOW THAT WAS AMAZING!! Seeing everything live for the first time just blew me away! I could not stop smiling! For no reason whatsoever, I will now describe my experience at show. I went with my dad here to my first show because my parents don't trust me going on my own or without adult supervision (my dad knows nothing about drum corps by the way) I had just eaten and I was really excited to see all the corps drum lines and horn lines and stuff as we were about to park in the parking lot and I was star struck because all these people that I had been seeing on YouTube and stuff for months, are right here! So I was on a full adrenaline rush. After we received our tickets and I got myself a Jagged Line T-Shirt we headed toward the lots. I was freaking out and getting goosebumps just walking by the crossmen front ensemble and hornline since that was literally the first time I'd ever seen either live. Now that I think back on it, I think my dad was slightly worried about me lol I could not stop smiling. I seriously could not decide if I wanted to see the Bloocoats drum line, hornline, or the Carolina Crown hornline. But I headed for the Bloo drum line anyways. The first (and last) thing I saw them do was finish up their last warmup and start setting up to play their show music, but...... because of my little experience and even less experience about lots, I thought that they were packing up (ultimate face palm) so I left disappointed (yeah I screwed up) So me and my dad made the walk to see the bloocoats hornline, and we walked in on them practicing in the sections. I started freaking out (keep in mind adrenaline rush) because I recognized their show music so I was like "AHHHHHH I KNOW WHAT THEIR PLAYING DAD" and I could not decide which section I wanted to hear (my dad was very impressed with the bloo tubas after they played their little feature) Eventually we decided (and by we I meant me) to go check out the trumpet line cause that was where most people were. Then blah blah me and my dad had our faces blown off for the first time after hearing them warm up really loudly (btw Samuel Crawford has the best hair I've ever seen) then we also got our faces blown off by Carolina crown and I freaked out again cause I knew their music too. And shortly after I got ###### off because I heard bloocoats drum line playing through the last notes of their music (yeah those epic big hits at the end) At 7:45 we walked to the stadium and I was humming to Carolina crown and bloocoats playing their show music in the background. That was my lot experience and in another post I'll talk about my show experience cause this is getting long. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. I think it's good for the activity that BD is so dominant. It forces everyone else to stay sharp and produce better shows. Most fans don't know it, but we're the ones that benefit the most from BD's success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
