Jordan Pitner contrajordan Congrats to Tim Snyder and the 20 man tuba section of Madison's. Loving their Rhapsody in Blue rendition. That'll be a treat at finals.

Dianekde Madison - extremely entertaining. Crowd eating it up.

What an outstanding statement tonight, a real example of mental toughness. So proud of this bunch -- staff, support, performers. Incredible to be breaking new ground like this.

I'm certainly biased, no doubt...but it is still AMAZING how mentally tough the Bluecoats are. Outstanding counterpunch tonight, definitely a statement. Onward!

BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicely, nicely done.

Boston encore on now, according to twitter. I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

Arriving Thursday for quarters and staying through Sunday afternoon. I'll be at the Marriott downtown.

It's been a great season, the best in our time with the corps. Well deserved by a great group! Keep pushing...the world's watching and the sky's the limit.

This Ohio swing comes at the perfect point in the season: getting an opportunity to feed off another big crowd's energy these two nights can only help going into Indianapolis. Breaking 94.5 is entirely within reason.

Be great to see the crowd response in Ohio...Bluecoats have definitely gotten everyone's attention, and the Ohio swing comes at just the right time in the season. Onward, keep the pressure on to Indy!

Great opportunity for Bluecoats to keep the pressure on...work to be done yet, still. What a great season all the way around!

Really enjoyed Phantom Regiment last night, Crusaders showed me a lot as well. And of course... GO BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I don't know anything from anything, and it's the first time I've seen BD this season. First thing that struck me: 'This was show was designed to be broadcast and reviewed on video.' In that context...

Outstanding effort again tonight...and still work to do, I'm certain. Keep your foot on the gas through Ohio and beyond...

BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

Yeah, noticed that too. Unfortunate.

I have discovered the best way to enjoy drum corps, if not live, then in the company of a tasty beverage. Tonight's selection is Real Ale Brewing Company's 'Devil's Backbone' belgian tripel ale.

This crowd REALLY knows what it's doing...very appreciative of the performances... Cool atmosphere to be in, seems to be...based on webcast.

Lord, Crown has a brilliant brass line. Outstanding.

Thought the Crusaders were a little flat in the first third of the show compared to when I saw them in San Antonio. Really picked it up the last two thirds of the program, though...loved the brass statements. Nicely done, reds.

Props to Drew Saenz, Alex Ortega, and Jacob Villescas of the Crusaders. Dear friends of the family. Rock on, Boston.

Ok, I'd not seen Phantom's show yet...and I GOT IT. Nicely, nicely done. From a fan perspective, anyway..aint' me no expert.
