4. BD, screamers aplenty, foreign sounding moaning, percussion-led extended dance breaks(they’re not the only one that does this but it’s especially prominent with them🙃) increasing technical *flexing* as their show goes on. Very triumphant *tearjerking* closers(results may vary on the year how 😭😭they are but they are affective/effective on fans generally)
Isn't that "foreign sounding moaning" part of the Dune movie soundtrack?

J Missing judging Brass again.

Getting ready to head to the show. Was at San Bernardino and this might be my last live show.
Excited to see the debut of Blue Knights.
Looking forward to see the additions to BD's show and see how SCV ends their show tonight.

I saw the segment on CBS. Some fun commentary from the celebrities in it. For me, it brought more "light" into understanding the 2019 BD show. 😃
And the 2019 BD production has become one of my all time favorite BD shows.

When was the last time Santa Clara won the Jim Ott Award for high brass?
I think it was in 1987

I am going to be in the Grand Rapids, MI area at the time of the premiere. I will be going to the Celebration Cinema in Grandville nearby. It is going to be quite the change from my usual location in Palm Springs, CA.
I was considering making the drive to Ford Field and watching it live.

Think the batwings appeared for the first time in 82, they used them a bunch afterwards, including 86 so in 2007 for their 50th, it was a nod to their past so you could fill in a few more years
interested to see if they cover 77
I believe the wings were used in 1982-1985. I don't think wings were used in 1986. They were used in 1991 and 1992 but they more like a "pant-wing" combination.

Speaking of BK...
1. Did they perform their closer? If so, how was it?
2. Thoughts on BK's opening guard/hornline/drumline dance?
3. Thoughts on BK drumline performance...especially in the Concerto?
1. Yes. A whole show was performed. Very interesting interpretation of the closer piece. I enjoyed what they had. I'm sure the ending will be different by August but they end with some volume.
2. Opening is very atmospheric and builds slowly to a big push. Once the push happened it commanded the audience's attention. Very cool.
3. The drumlins was the stand out for me. Watch for the snare solo in the middle of the show. I don't know if he is mic'd but the pitch changes "electronically" as he marches around the field. It's very exposed and a very cool effect.

I am flying in from southern California tomorrow to see this show. I am hoping for the best! Fortunately, I will be going to San Antonio in case the worst happens. Its going to be my first live viewing of the groups that were not in California. Regardless, I am very excited!

I might be a little behind here, but I just noticed that Crown's 2013 repertoire is listed on corpsreps.com
I am looking forward to seeing them here in California!

I don't know. It seems kind of random. I know there is a full panel scheduled for the California Shows this weekend.

I am here now. Just finished watching the Blue Devils Rehearsal. I am really liking what I see and hear from them. I am looking forward to seeing SCV and the other corps, too.

Wow...recaps are up for louisville.....Not even at the theater yet here in Palm Springs, CA.
