Yes, here's the clip around 6:50. FloMarching: "DCI Eastern Classic Day 2 Scores and Studio Post-Show" (pscp.tv)

Interesting choice

What year did this start? Anyone know?

At least three of their guard staff were teaching at BD, Bluecoats and Mandarins this past summer

Why would that be absurd?

Yes. He would occasionally update overnight in Pyware and load in UDB if something wasn’t working.

Talked to a member. He wrote 10-15 sets a day on Pyware, uploaded to UDB each morning and they learned 90% of the show that way. The only part that was more organic on the field was their ballad .

Got it. No drill. I guess I just watched the wrong show then.

As a major Bluecoat fan, that's just not true. Go watch them back-to-back. I just did. I rarely love the Blue Devils, but they moved a lot. BD was not as visually clean as I expected, and I feel like Bluecoats definitely have a significantly greater amount of choreography and dance responsibilities for their brass. With that said, that's a really great Blue Devils show and they run to spots no more than anyone else at this point and play on the move.

Hopefully they don’t change too much! My favorite BD show in over 10 years.

Here comes another closed thread.

I wonder what it would take ($$$$) to lure Gaines back. Seems like enough time has passed. The visual design just seemed awkward or cluttered? I would love to see them back to the bent leg marching! The straight leg change has not paid off.

Definitely my favorite show of the summer. Great job tonight Bluecoats! That guard!!!!

DCI has nothing to do with Championship rings and there’s no design rules. Each corps designs their own after the season through services like Jolesh and members typically pay for them (usually $150-250) on average. Blue Devils can design a black or white ring no matter what the final recap shows.

They don’t seem to be cleaning at the same rate as others. Maybe it’s too much demand yet again.

They're paying Gaines too.

Not true. They were penalized for being over in performance time only. Their total time was within the 17 minute according to their Director.

But they haven’t been over 17 minutes all season.

They didn’t get a penalty for the time it took to get on and off the field so who cares?

Wow, Bluecoats did some serious visual cleaning since their last time out.

Great video!

Seems like every year for them lately.

Love this app. My only wish is to sort the recaps by overall placement just like it does in CompetitionSuite.
