they were the hit here as well - I personally felt they deserved a 94+ tonight. Obviously the judges (mostly) felt otherwise

I also disagreed with the order of several other corps - and see BD as about a 1 spot ahead of 2 & 3. So I know nothing!

I know BAC fans will hate me for saying this, but I thought the Cadets outperformed them tonight.  But apparently I don't know anything either.  LOL.

I really love both BD and SCV...is this going to be one of those tie years...I hope not...both are worthy of the title IMO...

OK...you can have your 94....so boston should have been 95 + then...

I would have Boston below Blue Knights and Phantom. Sorry. Other than the guard (and the ballad) I just don't think the content is there for the scores they've been getting. I feel they are being vastly over scored. But I also feel the same about a couple others. The plume wiggling just drives me wacko - so that may be part of it.

Only criticism:

There was a lot of bass synth tonight...ruined a lot of the performances...I won't name names...but it was quite a few offenders tonight...

Totally agree.  It was a HUGE distraction.  I thought maybe the theater's surround sound EQ was off.  It was just awful at times.

Same here.  I wonder if it wasn't amplified by the nature of some theater speakers.

I would think BD will pull away tomorrow night. They did NOT have a good run tonight.

yeah - thing is once things get "locked in" in DCI it is VERY hard to change minds. I saw the same thing a few years at the top - like Crown 2009 - where it was obvious the scores weren't "catching up" to the performance.
