Yep, and if Bloo can't win GE, they can't win gold. Their shows are not built for the precision of Crown and SCV. I don't understand what the judges see or don't see, would love to learn.

Perhaps judges/DCI are recalibrating?   I love the "Blast!"-style show that Bloo does.   But unless they win with it this year, the "follow-the-leader" mentality will be destined to take the activity down yet another, slightly different approach.    It will be more concept, rather than stage shows.

BD must have had an awful night in percussion.  They were only 2 tenths behind Bloo at Drums along the Rockies 6 tenths behind Bloo tonight.  

More corps to fit in between as well which can play a role in that gap

Good luck. Let us know what you find out. It's too late for me to understand how GE is scored, but maybe the next generation has got a shot

"Blast!" style is a really good way to describe what they're doing out there. It will be interesting to see what the judges value this year and what they determine is good GE.

Whatever happens, I hope Bloo continues it's Blast! style shows. What an amazing product!

 Not neccesarily. Crown won a DCI Title in 2013  finishing 6th in Drums.

We (BD) won DCI in '80 and were sixth in drums. Not just sixth, but 1.65 behind. The days of that kind of spread are long gone.

I know this doesn't have to do with their percussion score, but I would rather see BD back on Pearl than being on Natal or whatever it is called.
