That is not the same effect... Sigh, I don't know why I argue with you about this stuff. If it is BD you hate it no matter what.

If I recall she went into the same door and came out the same door.

I still stand buy my previous posts that this is 2008 Part 2 and Crown is going to win Finals by a slim margin just so that DCI can reap the benefits of the emotional, yet incorrect, placement. Mark my words...Crown wins Finals guaranteed.

Lol, no it isn't the same as 1985 SCV. Doing a "magic trick" isn't the ripoff. Having people run thru a tunnel and change clothes isn't the ripoff. The ripoff is having someone go into a "doorway" and reappear as if "teleported" from another "doorway" somewhere else on the field. That is a pretty specific theme that was used REALLY recently. With your broad interpretation you could boil anything down to being a ripoff...both corps have uniforms? RIPOFF! Both shows are marched by humans? RIPOFF! Both corps are created from the same basic building blocks of nature? RIPOFF! This is a very specific theme of "guy enters portal and is teleported and comes out other portal instantly". That is a VERY specific idea that looks like it is being completely ripped off. But hey, put on your purple blinders and try to not see what is right in front of you.

Man that is a pretty blatant rip off.

Stay classy PA! lol Embarrassing.

I must be crazy or something...I can always follow every corps musical selections no matter how crazy or out there people think it is. This show by BD isn't even that out there musically. You can literally go buy the rewrite of sprint album and it is pretty #### faithful. Thank god everything isn't just Malaguena year after year. I am so thankful that I am not so close minded as to only be able to enjoy a very narrow range of music.

I bet you 1000 dollars that Crown wins finals night. Guaranteed. 2008 all over again.

Close!

Hey, I was trying to go completely opposite to the usual judges are screwing Crown and Madison angle! I don't believe it either, just trying show ppl how stupid they sound with the conspiracy theory crap!

I still say that Crown wins on Saturday 100%. Not because they are better but because DCI can then have another 2008 finals. They are close enough to first that bumping their percussion score up a couple spots on Saturday and dumping BD a bit in guard or some random category will be enough to put them in 1st without looking totally like it was a setup to get the honks to go crazy like they did in 2008 when the wrong show won. Last year was gonna be the next 2008 but the BD show was just way too far beyond Crown's show design and performance wise that it would have looked too obvious if they won that it was a setup to get the current "fan favorite" to win. You will see. Crown wins Saturday and their percussion gets no lower than 3rd despite being a bag of ###.

I think the point is that you don't know why they were sitting on their hands. Here are a few possibilities out of an endless sea of them with some being more likely than others, but all equally disprovable by you. 1. They dislike the show because of the show itself 2. They dislike Blue Devils because they are beating their favorite corps 3. They are the parents of a Cadets member and are mad that BD beat Cadets 4. Their friend next to them said that BD sucked and they don't want to look lame in front of their friend 5. They enjoyed it but don't have the personality to jump up and scream 6. Dave Gibbs punched their mother in the face once at a college party and now they hate BD because of it 7. The Troopers paid them 1000 dollars cash to not cheer for them because they got a better show site with hot water than they did 8. They are tired of BD winning and want ANY other corps to win 9. They don't understand the activity as well as you and think that Jersey Surf should be in first place because they like the comedy 10. They are sitting in an area of Crown honks and they all boo'd BD and they didn't want to cheer and clap for risk of being embarrassed or confronted There are literally endless options that YOU CAN'T PROVE without knowing what every single person is thinking. All of these are possible reasons (some more than others obviously) and all are different and it for sure doesn't prove that the show is boring to everyone or the vast majority like you all seem to trumpet. Why can't you just accept that you don't like the show for whatever reason and leave it at that? Why do you try and force on other people that the judges are scoring it wrong or there is some personal vendetta against the fans by Gibbs and the design team. God, it is like listening to a bunch of little kids ##### and moan when their mom gives them a sandwich without the crusts cut off.

I feel like they know I'm there and I get a connection from it. So I guess that invalidates everything you just typed. Weird how that works.

I'm not "angry", I just can't stand when the people on these forums slap on the blinders and can't admit to themselves that they are biased against BD because they are beating their "team". BD is not purposefully trying to make you not enjoy Drum Corps. They are putting out a product that attempts to do something a little different than what the corps around them do and that is targeted to a group of people that enjoy what they are doing while trying to be as competitive as possible. If you read carefully, usually the ONLY thing us "BD honks" are replying with is trying to explain to people that the organization is NOT trying to ruin drum corps, or that they don't care about the fans, or that they are trying to only play for the judges. All of that is obvious crap and is just sour grapes from people that are mad that their team isn't winning or wahtnot. It is incredibly frustrating to hear the same argument over and over and then when someone who actually has facts comes in and says "Hey wait, that isn't true...this is" it does absolutely nothing to help the matter. The very next post is the same old "I really respect how talented they are, but BD is trying to ruin the entire drum corps experience for everyone! WAHHHH why isn't Crown winning??" It is so obvious but people just can't accept it and so they come on here with like minded individuals and ##### and moan. And be honest, if the Troopers were beating Crown a lot of those same people would be hating the Troopers right now instead of BD and if BD was in 5th place instead of 1st, no one would be saying $^#$.

You can't prove any of that. You can't prove that people boo or complain because they find it boring, or because they think Madison or Crown or Troopers should be winning because they like that show better or because it is their alumni corps or their kid marches Crown or because they are tired of BD "always" winning. Maybe they just want ANY other corps to win because they are tired of it being a forgone conclusion who will win it all in Indy. You can speculate that people find it boring, but you can't for sure know that without knowing every single person's thoughts. I am going to guess that there are some ppl that find it boring or otherwise dislike the show for some reason relating to the product on the field, but I am willing to bet that there are also a boatload of people that complain or golf clap or boo for any of 100 different reasons. Hell, to give you a gauge of the level of knowledge that most "fans" of the activity have you should read some of the comments on the facebook posts from DCI. People actually saying that Phantom should be in first place and BD's show stinks because they use props, but Cadets show is amazing...everyone has their crap to complain about and their reasoning and it is not all because "BD's show is boring". Stop projecting your personal feelings onto everyone else in the stands until you have proof that you know wtf you are talking about.

What is "boring" to you is not boring to everyone. Your opinion is no more valid than mine.

Good. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You should also delete your forums account here and never post again if you are serious. OR, you can continue to ##### and moan about how you will never watch another show and this and that and then show up here in a week to complain some more because your favorite show isn't winning. "What you like" is not the same as "what is the best". I for one hope you just go off and find something you enjoy doing and leave us alone so we can enjoy what DCI is now.

This show should be called "Let's Pander!"

It was 1988...but where do you get that most BD fans didn't like it lol? It is one of their most highly regarded shows by pretty much everyone and considered to be one of the best hornlines ever fielded.

Man, ain't that the truth! It always cracks me up. People saying the show is garbage and whatnot, but if it was Blue Knights or Madison playing it they would be hailing it as the greatest show of all time! Of course they will come here and reply to this with "That isn't true! I would hate it no matter who performed it!" which we all know is bull. Hell, crown is spouting complete nonsense over their entire ballad and somehow the Crown honks who always complained about voice over in BD 2005 or The Cadets shows are trying to say it is all of a sudden awesome. What a bunch of hypocrites.

That guy is totally killing it!

Perfectly designed show.

This show is so kick ###!

I agree...the middle goes nowhere.

Yuck...
