Mello Dude

Bloo's guard unis were amazing..the corps "hippie camo" costumes/uniform were just not good (being nice) for all the body they were putting into the show. People REALLY need to take note at what BD does in regards to this. They actually make the form, pause so you can see it CLEARLY defined THEN do body. Everyone else is in a hurry to be blobs.

Proud of Regiment this year. Strong year for drum corps. They can still move up but if they don't still an incredible year. Congrats members and staff!

No idea from a movie theatre. But, IMHO they sported the weakest mello section of the top 12.

Ya, and? It was a LOT of props..a LOT.

Well after hearing them live I can simply say you are wrong and leave it at that. Crown is as loud but a different type of more higher end vs thumping you in the chest.

Because they really don't do a lot til the end. IMHO a lot of props that add hardly anything. Great show, make them seem to have a 0-0 field presence for that just all smoke and props.

Just got back from Cinemark, didn't wait for scores. What stuck out for me. BD-They are going to win. They really have no weaknesses. Props for this show seem an after thought IMHO. BAC-Nice show. Mello's seriously out of tune at the beginning of the show. Little bit of dirt in percussion (from a horn guy here). Guard is every bit as amazing as was promoted. Bloo-A LOT of backdrop props. Show is cool but seriously stop smoking joints when you are discussing the next years show. Strong visual save the costumes and uniforms make is hard to see what they are doing on turf. Seriously ANY other color would have worked. The guard looked great in their costumes. Crown-Throwback show? Seemed like this show would have been right there in 2010-2014. I enjoyed the production. They seemed to move very well. My only gripe (with all Crown shows) is that throwing in mass Arban exercises into every show that make no musical sense is getting stale. Mandarins-Seems like an updated Cadets show (Good and Evil?) I dig it. Didn't really like the white robe things. Props at end were cool. I personally would have thrown up LOL. Phantom-Looking cleaner. Probably my ballad of the year award. Could take the goo back a little. But, to be fair their horn line is that loud. Show probably flows the best 2-12. Cadets-I liked the show. I personally think that the uniforms/costumes ruin a fantastic visual program. Makes them look blobby is that is a word. I mean for really hot shows this makes total sense but for finals...not feeling it. Cavies-STRONG drumline. IMHO best of the night. Actually did not like the thing they stuck on their hats. Real plumes look SO much better IMHO. They looked and sounded great. The only thing was little visual tears every now and then. Colts- First corps of the night that had a great show IMHO AND had a clue about interval and distance and why we clean drill. Thank you! What a clever show done well. Blue Stars-I mean not a bad show but the color schemes? The whole having everyone wear different uniforms/costume (at the beginning) makes no sense and makes them seem dirty. Again a green on green uniform that loses acuity upstairs. Troopers- I LOVE this show. And FWIW the harmonica I think was from a Charles Bronson western I believe. Very cool. I can see them beating Blue Stars and Colts. Blue Knights-I do not see how this is beating Crossman. I seriously don't get it. Crossman-You should be in top 12 IMHO. PC-Great push this year. Neat show design. VERY dirty for finals. Spirit- Welcome back in a big way. VERY enjoyable show. Could see you above PC simply because of being cleaner. What I can remember. Small crown at theatre tonight.

Largest part of success, they are on the field this year unlike some others.

That's pretty unfair. People are allowed to post without cowering to gender censor.

I stand corrected. I like this version better than 2021?

The sound of G horns is so unique.

Not worried. Phantom has always been an end of year corps. They can get butts out of the seats.

All I can say is that if they meet the criteria, why post something like this? You know, someone has to be last and if they are providing a great learning/fun time for it's members who cares?

Hey, I'm sure BD already has a team working on it.

LOL, I was there for the first one. Actually it just looks cool and bad@$$. .

Meh, they made a decision. A minor one at that. Let's not Karen this to death.

Why take the chance of people getting hurt over a drum corps show? Safety first.

First world issues....

Pitchfork patrol.

Well, hopefully there will be resolution of this at some point. This is on the internet now and will certainly ruin lives.

Absolutely not enough info.

Just wow.

Big time. More one than the other as we have seen.

Welcome to the modern USA nanny state. I honestly don't get holding organizations, when they take prudent measures, need to be lambasted over adult individuals that do bad things that, it the world of reality, no one can stop 100% of the time. It would be like chasing a fart in a whirlwind. I mean even BEYOND any contract you sign you (the adult individual) are still held to the letter of the law regardless.

This. So we already know this was reported just a couple months ago. I would love a timeline and what has been done or not done.
