I’d kill to have them play Klesch’s brass book straight up, 28 years later.

I miss bawker.

Bluecoats last year beat them to it.

When was the last time a finalist corps had no props?

I predict the second number will have a clip of some Top 40 pop song.

Hopefully a new director and brass arranger at Cadets.

My impression from section 139 as well.

Keep the Crown format of four distinct pieces. It’s the only sensible way to pace a show and Crown is one of the few maintaining it. Need a clearer theme next year.

After what I just saw them put down it’s certainly possible.

The leap in performance from Thursday night was incredible.

I've always thought there should be a separate "Drum Corps Live" circuit, where all sounds are produced live and acoustically. The problem is no one would march it, because the current DCI marching members don't care. It's all they know (aside from some ancient videos from the 1990s most haven't seen).

It’s kid of astounding how traditional this show and is still completely competitive. Remove the vocals and change the uniforms a bit and this show as is could exist in 1998 design and performance wise—and win. This is a good thing.

Jay Bocook is arranging for Boston?

Which Bocook Cadets shows don’t you like?

Originally titled “Waterworks.” Granted that Cadets corps was one of the best drum corps in history, so not really a fair comparison.
