brassdude6171 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 i have to make an apology. i had the bluecoats 6th going in... this was maybe my worst prediction in anything ever. i had no idea that session 44 would turn out to be maybe the most well-put together complete packages in a program i've seen. it's impossible for me to not smile at any point during the show, the performers are already killing it, and the visual/musical package is breathtaking, saro and the closer especially. i cannot wait to see where this program goes, and cannot wait to see it live in august. i have to say my favorite moment for the time being takes place in the growth toward the climax of saro when the lead trumpets carry their chairs over to right in front of samuel, sit down in them, and play a rushing line that leads into a beautiful high note that cuts through the rest of the sound in the most perfect way. i love this show. i think it'll end up being the highest placing show to not come out of california - that being 3rd behind vanguard and blue devils in some order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleyrp Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Maybe the most fun thing about all the secretive corps + copyright concerns is that we see less and less media before the season starts. Used to be in Jan or Feb there would be a ton of stuff to latch to... now our predictions tend to be based off of intuition and trends from the prior year as apposed to what’s real. Makes it fun and keeps us guessing. Still wish the copyright stuff would be resolved to allow more open educational viewing but oh well, another topic another day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel bad, maybe the judges feel the same way in the early going too, Wes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Blue Devils are going to take it again. There’s just too much visual and GE horsepower for anyone else to overcome. Their guard is going to be legendary by finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, nowadays in DCI, if you want to select a section thats your best performing section in your Corps, clearly, make it your Guard. And by all means, no matter how strong you might be in Percussion/ Brass, don't have Guard your Corps weakest section among the 3 sections.

I think their percussion is the weakest, but that’s just splitting hairs on my part. There may be a spread between one and two by finals.

BD might be phenomenal for the 1st week of the season. But they always are. I'll wait until Atlanta/ San Antonio before they start measuring their MM's for ring sizes. Even then it might be too early. Cadets won the Regionals in July, then finished 4th come August a couple of seasons back. But sure, its a given that BD will be getting a DCI medal of some sort these days now. Its just a matter of whether its a gold, silver, or bronze.
