I'm honestly surprised Crown is scoring as high as they are but I think they are doing a better job of spreading the love in the full musical package this year. I always felt in the past their shows were 11 minutes of "Look at how good our hornline is!" but they seem to be doing a better job as spreading the contribution around the whole corps which has led to higher content scores from them at this point. I don't think it will hold up by the end of the season however. Crown will max out their package before finals rolls around.

 

When all is said and done, there is no percussion package that even touches SCV from a content and contribution standpoint. Barring a performance meltdown I full expect them to runaway with things this year. Ultimately percussion placements will probably fall into a similar order as last year. everyone seems to be playing at a similar level as last season, Boston may sneak up a bit further but I expect Bluecoats to most likely be ahead of Cadets in the end. It's a dog fight in the percussion caption.

Crown 2018 is real this year and their "musical" show is percussion centric with the perfect energetic book for them (and possibly the best Crown line talent-wise ever).    

Not sure about why you think Crown would max out their package early...would be interested to see your view here.      

Agreed SCV in the driver's seat.

Those arrangements! They’re technical without sounding like they were lifted from the Arban book. It’s especially apparent to me during the ballad with the extended ostinato passage. Just when you think you’ve got it down, it changes up. Bravo!

I just think their book will peak before the others because the complexity is not there. Once the groups playing beefier books are close to spotless in August. Crown was 3rd and 5th on finals night last year and I expect them to be the same at the end. SCV will be on top. I think BD will ultimately top them and Crown can give it a run when it comes down to it. Its going to be tough for Bluecoats to get into the top 5 in percussion this year because I think the Cavaliers will ultimately stay ahead of them too.

So after seeing Bloo for the first time live yesterday, I'm still recovering. I'm so thankful that these folks gifted us with such an amazing production, I'm really struggling to find the words. God Bless the Child is so beautiful. That singer is amazing. Home groooooves so hard. That color guard has got some really neat stuff going on. As great as these guys looked on FloMarching, in person it's truly next level. Wow. Bravo, Bluecoats! One for the ages, for sure! These guys and gals deserve all the attention they're getting and so much more!

Went to the show Monday in Olathe (5th row center) and now my fit bit thinks I am dead, my smart phone only cycles through the pictures of Blooo and can't accept Trump is Prez. Way to go, keep up the good work!!!!
