I know people get nasty toward BD for a lot of reasons, but I just wanted to throw out a little BD love:
1. Yeah, people make fun of the chairs, but what matters to me is that BD is using them effectively. I'm not going to get into the debate about who is moving more or faster or whatever. GE is the name of this particular aspect of BD's show and it's working for me. I like the "lazy Sunday afternoon" kind of mood when they sit in the opener and do the leg moves, I like the way they place them later and occasionally march over them. So, there's that.
2. People have this thing about "BD makes it look easy." Yes, they do. They are very mature, they have an extremely confident air about their movement, and they aren't about freneticism. I think this is a good thing. We have plenty of freneticism in the other top contenders. I don't want to see BD try to do what Cadets and Crown are doing. I want to see (and hear) BD doing what they are doing now - playing some great charts and doing something completely different.
3. I may be hoping for an upset in Indy, but I'll still enjoy BD's show a LOT on my iPod this year. Thanks for some smokin' hot music BD. It's been a blast!
I second all the above. BD has some awesome music this year. I havn't seen them visually yet but they know exactly what they are doing.

While BD maybe not be agreeable in terms of drill, the music is cool and it's good to a jazz show. Crown is becoming really interesting considering they're beating people they've never beaten and scoring like never before. Personally, I kinda like the oddness of Bloo's Imagine. Kinda reminds me of the movie UP.

What color shoe would be better?
They could do what crown has done and pain/dye or whatever they do to color them creme. Might stick out less.

Not to down pour on your parade BUT, to quote Bill Cosby: "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody". Just saying...

on a serious note, he has no one to blame but himself. He practically re-enacted that scene when forest gump goes running clear off the field after a touchdown. There's a reason that in a situation like that our brain should be telling us "I should stop know because I'm already in the end zone". If his career goes down, I sorry but no pity for him. Should have stopped kid. Next time, ask for extra clearance space.

See you in Hell Mr Dodd.

Dot vs. Form

That's exactly right. The left side of the jacket has three windows, and the material in them will be green. As to the shade of green, no one really knows yet. Possibly green plumes?!
That would be deliciously absurd. Green and cream? Sounds like an ice cream flavor.

Love seeing Bloo using flugles. instrument diversity = good. Now, throw some marching french horns in the mix....

Carolina Crown = Drum Corps
Second.
-
Crown. period. You don't have to worry about fungus build up cause THEY'RE ALREADY GREEN!!
-
Heard their opener recording on fan network. Such a beautiful sound.
-
Definitely heard someone yell "PUT SOME CHEESE INTO IT" in the 96 Scouts recording.
-
And plumes have gotten REALLY tall! What's with that?
THAT'S what she said.
-
Umm....deedeedee? Took them lon enough to figure that out. Now, for the general public......

There can't be ties or double wins win it comes to a world title. There can only be one...

When the thought of summer sounds rustic chords in your head. When the smell of grass in the summer brings back the memories of all day ### kickings. When flying on a plane reminds of you of the long ride home.

First, invest money in foreign markets.
Second, take money from investments and invest more.
Third, begin taking over the world.

Somone needs to start a ska era in DCI
-
I almost forgot, Bluecoats had some ballin' swing in their 06 show. Their trumpets were freakin awesome.
-
You don't get the soloists today that were around 20 years ago and there around, that's for sure.
I have to agree with that. And Crossmen 2003 definitely counts, especially their closer. Now that I recall, Spirit 2006 had a dixeland jazz show and it was pretty rockin.

What happened to shows like 02 Cadets, 03 BD, 03 Scouts, classic BD, and all the classic jazz shows. Is jazz now just an encore thing?

It will end December 12, 2012 when the apocalypse happens.

Congrats to:
BD for winning with an amazing jazz and possibly hazardous show (i.e. balancing on chairs)
Crown for mowing through the competition all season long, causing incredible upsets, and winning brass
To Cadets for having of the most insane drill I've ever seen.
To Bluecoats for having an incredibly surreal and kick-### show
To SCV for having an incredible come-back tour and blowing down the walls.
