It's too risky that a horn player is going to take off too early like that Bluecoat did tonight. I'm sure the judges are judging fairly, but it sucks that execution is more important to the judging than complexity is. It makes safer shows better for winning, and BD knows that very well. You actually said that about a mm? Smh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we see what they're forming in their retreat block and we're like, "OHHH!" :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat guy could kick over his head cleanly and in time with the skinny girls. Hats off to him! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrunyon1 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't have a problem with BD winning. I just have issues with how they win. They are impressive and show some nice difficulty with Metamorph I just find it lacking in true musical emotion. They are not superior in brass even though they might take that caption. Where they are impressive is GE. That is were a gold comes from most seasons and this year will be no different. If SCV takes GE then they win. It is a matter tenths sometimes and that might be what separates gold and silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
