lanceengland Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I was at the Drums Across America show last night. Bloo's show is very impressive. The use of the giant chairs was very effective and they have done what I never thought I'd say: I look forward to the singing She does a fantastic job, and the corp blends *perfectly* with her. Just a hat tip all around for how they pull that off. BAC's guard is very, very good. To me, the past several years, Bloo has SO MUCH going on at the same time, guard doesn't stand out as much. I did notice some impressive moments from Bloo's guard, but BAC seems a little more exposed. Rifles were flying around non-stop. I am far from an expert in that area. Great shows from both corps, and really all the kids from every corp. So, we are all winners in a way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Blue Devils are in existence, no one will ever "run away". They have to claw the titles out of BD's grasp ever year. But I get your point. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year-two with Townsend in Boston, not exactly a shock in the guard caption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is losing ground to BAC. BAC is simply surging on their own. Props to them, not a big fan of their show (or really any of their shows since 2014 for that matter..) but they’re performing it well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only SCV and BK are the only Top 12 from last year not at St. Louis. Broken Arrow will not have Crown, Cadets, Blue Stars, Scouts, Crossmen, and Mandarins. Seems like St. Louis has more of a "Heavy Hitters" lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
