Prior to the season, I was excited for BD and skepitcal about cavies.
Afterwards, Cavies had my favorite show and BD bombed....

The way a corps can't just pick four kick-### songs and play them (like "back in the day") and still have a shot at finals....Not that I don't like what's going on today, just that everybody's so careful about their selections within a thematic sense, that it creates for a lot of shows to be not exciting or entertaining the whole way through the show--you know, just maybe the ballad or closer or etc..

repost about you over-hyping your ballad because nobody else will?

can't believe nobody's mentioned Cadets 2000

crown completly no contest from a design standpoint...amazing innovation, amazing guard, thank you
Thematically, Angel was a good choice. However, it couldn't be more of a boring and seemingly emotionless piece. That is, of course, in retrospect among the other ballads. Cavies on the other hand greatly dug into the emotional side of their piece. The use of the upper-range baritones facing back-left field, and the mellos on the ladder that just yanked on your heart-strings.
Cadets' was ok. Yes execution was "perfect," but the emotion seemed written and not so much performed.
Crossmen get the thumbs up for the a cappella brass and swing flags. Beautiful...

If we're talking about this season, I voted Illinois. SCV had an off year, and I didn't care for BD's show.
If we're talking about all-time? California!

Jeff (I think that was his name) of BD fame from 2000-2002

Is it my ears but did the Sopranos and Contras overshadow the middle voices in 2003 Blue Devils Phenomenon of Cool?
One of my favorite shows, listen to it all the time. I don't know, can't hear the middle voices much.
No, its not just you. Unfortunately, that's generally the balance that BD has fallen into since 2000.
