Ok.. I officially booted the two next to me... After he got up 4 times during show... I said for somone who didnt purchase that seat you sure get up a lt... I said you got a tix if not i am heading to security... Lol... He said you serious... I said dam str8 I am.. Thats how we roll from NY... Lol

It's not an issue of too much drill. It is an issue of overall design. The other 4 in the top 5 all have better designs than Crown. Talent was holding them up for much of the season and now that's starting to slip. People who think Crown has too much drill, too much exposure, too much visual difficulty and just need to clean are all wrong. The issue isn't any of that, it's a very messy visual design with elements that don't make sense and overall poor construction (except the drill), but drill is such a small part of visual these days.

Boston Crusaders 2nd in Brass, 1st in Percussion, 1st in Guard, 2nd in overall GE. With such strengths across multiple captions, they are now less than 2 tenths away now from Blue Devils. 2nd place at both Regionals, ie San Antonio, and now Atlanta tonight. Is this fun or what ?

What a feeling it must be to creating history on uncharted ground for your drum corps. Bravo BAC. Happy for you.

Another poster regurgitating the same formula for the ABBD crowd to follow. Nothing new. Over it.

This didn't age well.

That was harsh! Who peed in your cornflakes?

They are, it’s right there on the sheet

0.175 FRIENDS!

Boston’s colorguard could be their own Top 12 drum corps

Bloos staff just sat next to me in those open seats... They were polite 😀

I cried starting in the second movement and never stopped. Thank you Santa Clara!

LOVE the new ending! Gorgeous and so right for this show!

My seat...

Every time you say that people aren’t using the app, Crown fans increase the number of people they say use it by a decimal. 10k will be using it tonight in Atlanta and 100k tomorrow at NightBEAT

Are you saying this with full knowledge of other corps’ Covid protocols?

As he should, but whenever anyone is expecting a different score after hearing both the horns and drums streaming over the internet and not being down on the field in a judges green shirt, the judged messed up. It’s so tired.

Heading home from the show. This was my partner’s first exposure to drum corps, will be giving both mine and her thoughts on all the shows in a bit! Definitely saw things a bit differently with a live read. Had fantastic seats btw, We had a canopy right above us similar to the Massillon show that enhanced the sound very well

Boston might pull this off. Looking at the recaps they have a path to win gold. I’m getting phantom 08 vibes…

I see no reason why Boston can’t overcome BD come finals night.

The crown will never get old

The last two minutes of this show is so amazing in every way.

The top six guards this year may be the best in at least a decade. Absolutely insane.

Love them or hate them, Blue Devils are always the best of the best. Beautiful show, wonderfully performed, and I wish them the absolute best.

That new ending was very much worth the wait. Amazing.

Looks like SCV finally found nirvana. Great ending.

Oh this new closer is BEAUTIFUL! They have found nirvana!

Go to your room. 🙄

Charles exudes joy when he sings. ☀️

Lol, this is accurate

People complaining or making excuses against these corps implementing extreme protocols don't give a sh about the activity or these kids. We should all want every member of every corps healthy and able to march, especially when Indy comes around. I see the groups surrounding batteries during their pre-show warm-ups and it makes me cringe. It's time to tell everyone to stay the he77 away.

When recaps are "all over the place", it likely means the judges are scoring what is on the field and not slotting. You're talking about 4 corps within 2 pts of one another and captions decided by a tenth here or there, and you're surprised by this? People have no idea what they want... Do you want judges to judge what's on the field or slot?

I'll pass. God bless you and your family. Good night.

spat my beer

Boston topped Crown in brass. It was only a matter of time.

I got caught up on some posts, so I know the announcer caught some flak (e.g., the Santa Clara Vanguard announcement was pretty egregious). However, I'm happy for some diversity. Here's hoping he's back next year and practices a bit more in advance.

I was too busy sobbing like a baby.

That ending is the most visually mesmerizing thing they’ve done since the Oroboros ballad and the opening to Force of nature. That’s really a signature move.

Subtle sophistication and a technically very efficient production from SCV this season, imo

Seriously one of the best solos of the season. The whole mood of the show is on his shoulders and he gets it every night.

Ok I have policed the row next to me... Lol... J/k

So we can’t discuss our opinions because you deem it as “bashing”?? I will go on record to say Crown probably has maybe the hardest show this year… I will also say the design is failing the talent of the MMs as MANY others here have said. If that is “bashing” or “tasteless” than maybe DCP is too much for you.

Praying the rain stays away! Minus standstills due to Covid, haven't seen my son perform since July 10th at Stanford. Gold is healthy and ready to make a run at the Open Class Championship! Look for Gold's closer on the field for the first time tonight! DO IT UP DEVILS!!! GO GET'EM GOLD!!!

I agree, Barneveld. This Boston supporter is not whining either. I, too, fell asleep last night. These central time zone shows complete with rain delays are brutal on us East Coasters. I would have slept through the night but I got a text from a BAC horn player around 1:45 my time very excited about the job they did. He said the staff is keeping them focused like a laser beam on the performance levels and they can't wait for tonight. He did tell me that as of right now, nobody in Boston is sick. It would seem as though the corps being sealed away in a giant mayonnaise jar under Funk and Wagnell's porch is working...for now. (And I just lost everyone under the age of 50.....) Anyway, CRUSADE ON!

I think you shouldn’t get hung up on the specific “watching from the stands” part. The point they’re trying to make is stay away - period. I don’t think anyone is worried about the corps catching it from the stands. They’re worried about the labor and distraction involved in trying to control where spectators go and what they do when they leave the stands. A blanket ban sends the message clearly: Stay away, for the health of the corps. We have to remember that these people are trying to feed, teach, house etc. the MMs on top of keeping them safe. Banning spectators as a blanket rule takes the extra work of babysitting and patrolling the spectators off of the staffs’ plates.
