You say potato, I say I'm f***ing awesome.

Yes, your kids sitting for an hour during concert band rehearsal is the same thing as a drum corps sitting down for a portion of their show. I'm glad that you agree that that is a perfect analog.

Hooooraaaaaaaaay ME!

NO

Not a BD fanboy, just someone that realizes that demand is not something that fans can easily calculate. You think the show was easy? Pick up the horn yourself and then we can talk.

A better corps than yours. Is that enough?

As someone who marched a couple of years of corps, if you can't recognize the demand and difficulty that went into BD's show last year, you are either borderline ######## or just one of those people that marches multiple years of corps but doesn't recognize that demand goes beyond how high the tempos are (which, FYI, BD marched at a faster tempo than anyone in DCI in 2009 - 236) and how hard you want to make the drill look. Synchronicity is difficult, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that since the corps you marched never actually got clean.

Congratulations on marching an 11th place corps. Your jealousy and complete inability to understand the demands that go into todays' shows really shines through.

BD marched better at finals than pretty much any corps I've ever seen live ever. I left the show and told my friends I would be ###### if they didn't get a perfect 20 in vs. performance. Frankly, I think you're crazy. Yowza, yowza, yowza.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but Crown has beaten Bluecoats at finals (and throughout season, with the exception of '07) for the past three years. Are you saying beating a corps that barely missed out on a gold medal last year is not a big deal for what was a sixth-placed corps? I know you're a homer, but take a compliment when it's given to you.

Wow. Good to see captions all over the place. Proves judges are really evaluating based on performance and not slotting. That said, this won't last for long, and I think in a couple of weeks one of these corps (who knows which one?) will be slotted above the rest. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the madness.

Exactly, which is why secrets such as these are silly, and I have no qualms about telling people them, or at least what I've heard they are.

Where? I only saw someone say "Strong Unity Ties All."

Spirit Unity Tradition Always . . . and now I wait for the angry PMs.
