84BDsop

That's because this is the encore run...

A judge tape! And have you seen how MANY reaction vids to the activity there are now??? LOTS more people than when Courtney Cloulsen started.

The Bow Chika-Chika Wow Wows?

As always, I see no major changes at BD staff-wise. Now programming will probably change a bit after 'Coats win....but that's what BD does anyway.

Meh....probably reminds them of Mars!

Interesting that ALL the musicians have the capes for the 1st 4 minutes...including the drumline. That HAS to be a bear to do proper sticking and mallet transitions with. Crossmen in 1981 had similar cloaks, but only in the brass.

Heh...I used to love it when someone would tell me fencing was easy and took no skill....then they hit the strip against me in sabre and I showed them just how wrong they were!

Correction....the ONLY time BD finished 5th. The only placements BD has ever had are 23, 9, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1

So...in theory...a completely new group of people -- let's say, just for argument's sake, a bunch of Suncoast Sound alums -- could start a corps in Garfield, PA (east of Pittsburgh) and call themselves the Garfield Cadets?

A Chapter 11 BK is a reorganization. I believe they filed Chapter 7....liquidation.

Yep...the echo chamber that was the venue was bad even on audio. Fortunately for SCV, the tear was after the gun, so no negative score impact

It wasn't just the tic that changed....it was also judged timing. Starting in 1984, shows were judged in their entirety....no more saving the riskiest stuff for after the 11:30 mark. No more dropping a rifle and not having it affect the score (80 BD). No more ensemble tear of the gods not affecting the score (82 SCV) Now judging from beginning to end. This also led to the end of every corps repeating large chunks of the prior year (much easier to clean when you already knew it)...83 BD was 3/5th of the 82 show....and the repeated charts were in the same places. 84 was the first year BD did not repeat at least one chart from the prior year (not counting the NY Fantasy tag ending). By 88 -- I think -- you rarely saw corps repeating charts in successive years as a matter of course.

Perhaps....Crown and Bloo only have 1 each, tho....

Agreed....I definitely see a title in their future.
