Super Don-O

Not so much this year. The usual chorus of "not again" has largely been replaced with "I don't mind this year, I love it"

I like the hammond organ mic check better

That was the one and only Paul Cain, a true original "All right gang, let's give them a good one..."

I like the curved bar equipment they use, simulating the weight of the world, but I still have no idea what the props with the poles are supposed to represent or contribute, other than obstacles....

Agree, on all 3 of these. They will win, but there's a real possibility they may do so without taking home the Zingali, Sanford or Ott. Any caption they don't win they will be top 2 or 3. Consistancy across all captions is their superpower.

Annapolis Naval Academy stadium eh... The one show where the Cadets might actually get a boost for not wearing the West Point uniforms. 😜

Took the kid to Dollywood a couple of years ago. It's a really nice park, good rides, great atmosphere.

After their disasterous first show I really was skeptical about Crossmen. And that's coming from someone who has been a fan for decades and has a family connection to the corps. But they have really impressed me with their growth, and they are my favorite for 12th right now. Bones will be watching over them in Allentown and Indy.

The 1920's Yankees were too good for the American League. They had Ruth and Gehrig and the rest of murderer's row. No one could compete. They won championship after championship. They should have left the league and formed a show team with home run derbies and clinics to teach young players how it should be done. That would have given the other teams a chance to develop and have their turn in the spotlight. Later on players like DiMaggio and Mantle could have gone elsewhere and made other teams great...

I felt Crown and Devils were both better last night.

"The Marines will be here live and in color!" I was about to ask how the heck old is Rondo, before I remembered the TV we had when I was a kid was in Black and White too.... 👴

I don't know why but the little organ bumper music they throw in after they are announced really tickles me. 😊

I think the soloist found the mic...

Minus the penalty that puts Bloo and Crown in a near tie

Crown 8th in percussion and 4th in guard, but still squeaked by Boston

My best guess: 1 Blue Devils 2 Boston 3 Crown 4 Bloo 5 Cadets 6 Phantom 7 Cavies 8 Pacific Crest 9 Troopers

.

BAC has the most "old school" show on the field this year. Bloo has the least "old school" show of the year. Here they are back to back and I love them both.

I am on Flo and that's 100% possible

Love the show, but there were a lot of brass stickouts and overplaying in the closer.

Does fit the theme

Last night their percussion placed 5th in a field that didn't include Bloo or Cavies... That's the albatross they need to overcome. Maybe it was a bad night.

Might be better not to tell Arthur about the beheading in CorpsVets...
