Red Dragons

Which was?

I agree that the interest would tank. There's no easy answer. Sharing the winnings seems minor as I don't think winnings around to that much. Having centralized funding overall to give corps equal access to funding might help but it would never fly because of the risk of either mismanagement or hoarding/not spending at the corps level. And in no world would DCI have the infrastructure needed to successfully implement such a system. The NFL, they aren't. In a perfect world. If we could rekindle the local legion corps tours, i'd go. I'd watch the 84th Bucktail Regiment score 29 and enjoy their efforts. But there's no money in that and there was never intended to be. It's not something that will gain structural support today.. it's gone.

If the judges all say the same thing it's rigged. If they don't, it's biased. It's a dam wonder anybody wants that job.

Nah, if that were the case there'd be no reason for Jersey Surf to march. It's fair to say it's not ALL about winning but if you can, you want to.

Now that I'm officially old enough to be getting 10% off on Thursdays at my local grocer, I think I've finally reached the point of simple bliss with all the placement stuff. Every single placement seemed right or at least entirely defensible. And the shows were the best as a group I've ever seen. Again maybe perception only but it seems to me as. If corps have started to veer a bit back towards some traditional showmanship. Great year.

Cadets!!!

I've never checked out their "grappling" channel. I've got two more days this year to change that.

99.15 book it. Bet a whole dollar on it

They don't need placement changes, just to pick up . 6 in ge and . 2 in visual and there's room for that from last night. Not saying the will, but they sure might.

They deserve that 99 their gonna get.

almost feels like a weak imitation of the Bloo dude last year.

My only BD quibble is their shows are sometimes so clinically perfect they don't really move me but I'm loving this show. It doesn't hurt that Clouds kills me every time.

Just to confirm is the normal flo next day replay applicable to finals? Ie can I watch tomorrow nite again?

Not seeing it. Bloo is a powerhouse here to me. I'd love to see Boston medal though.

Can quibble over its relevance but the coats really have mastered the art of color.

Same:)

For real, did Taylor Swift ticket sales hit on this server right now? She's the problem, it's her.

I recall the good old days when multiple groups had the same name and you had to identify them by locale.

They make it look easy to produce that tonality.

Do ya think the Mandarins may have benefitted more than most from available would be Vanguard kids?

Whoever is 4th this year is my pick for best 4th place corps ever. Wowsa.

My goodness that's my favorite show of theirs in maybe decades.

First off I said unis, not cadets and second off the Cadets recent history doesn't sit well with a lot of folks making your comment odd. But I love their sound and show. So much.

Yikes I hate the Cadets unis but they sound great!!

Amazing evening. Not sure I see any major placement changes coming other than maybe Crown sneaking up. But who cares, this was riveting!
