  1. Wow, I disagree with you on so many things. BUT MAINLY

    Cavaliers visual was NOT clean at all unless you are referring to the VIS GE. The difference from person to person was very apparent to me. I was shocked at the level of their marching.

    I agree with you too especially if your marching the same patterns just diffrent shows!!!
  2. There's alot of flaming on Crown's show concept, however no one is saying anything about BD. Am I the only one that didn't dig the Devils tonight?

    Crown I can follow......BD was like a bad acid trip with guard design stuck in the early 90's.

    well it is kinda noticable that their rep for 08 isn't all that original and as far as the devils are concerned I would probably say that you are in the minority tonight!!!!

  3. So I think that the first time I saw BD live was 82 or 83. There have been many years of BD that I have liked. I love the Chick Corea years. In 85 many of the Fever kids marched with BD. I liked that show but over the years I have been a SCV fan. Second would be Phantom. I can not put my finger on what it is that turns me off from BD but it is something from the gut. My wife (not a drum corps fan hates BD and thinks they pay the judges off. No question in her mind, she hates BD. In fact she said that I can go to finals next time BD is not in contention for a ring.) Anyway, BD did not give me any Goosebumps tonight sorry.

    hey leeb that's ok!!! we all have our favorites but tell your wife I don't think the blue Devils are paying anyone off. why is it so hard to believe that a fantastic organization with great kids has to do something so underhanded to have good things happen to them. 13 world championships , oh I'm sorry 12 championship titles is nothing to sneeze at and no one in the history of Drum Corps can match that. I use to be a big fan of SCV a long time ago but recently thay've become kinda avarage. I've followed the Blue Devils since I saw them win their first title in the 70's in philly.I'm not from Cali and I marched east coast so for me to be such a a big fan for a west coast corps is really saying something for them!! :thumbup:

  4. Ok to recap my night.

    Goosebumps x 1 for Star

    Goosebumps x 3 for Bluecoats

    Goosebumps x 4 for SCV

    Goosebumps x 6 for Phantom

    Goosebumps x 5 for Crown. Need to watch show tomorrow a few times.

    Total bumps 19. Not bad sitting in my house with my family playing Lineage 2 and David Scott playing Muse on Guitar Hero!! :thumbup::music::smile:

    No goosebumps for BD? Your taste is in your mouth and that is what happens when you move From Cali to Wash. :smile: Go Cascades!

  5. Being a diehard Bluedevils fan I do hope everyone is right on here thinking that they will bring home #13 this year. With that being said I will wait till I hear the announcer say that on August 9th when I am sitting in the stands in Bloomington. To give it to them right now is over doing it, because we all know changes will be made by everyone and the real endings for most are not on the field yet, so to get caught up in all of the drama is absurd. I am just happy to see such a variety of shows and after last year I didn't think we could have another year where almost every show is enjoyable to watch.

    Congratulations to all of the corps tonight and the kids who are performing these demanding shows. I cannot wait to see some of these shows live starting next weekend.\

    And lastly GO BD!!!

    AND YOU SAY YOUR A DIE HARD BLUE DEVILS FAN GIMME A BREAK OH YE WITH SUCH LITTLE FAITH!!!!

  6. I dunno. I was mostly OK with the narrator, though I wish it were cut back a bit. It was the voice stuff in the middle that really annoyed me. Like Cadets, 'Coats seem to be using narration as a crutch to setup their show this year which is why I'm not a big fan; they probably would not have gotten the point of this year's show across without it. In contrast, last year their narrative supported the theme. It helped from a GE standpoint but if they cut it, you'd still "get" the show.

    Ironic that they found themselves back to back with Cadets tonight.

    cause nobody wants to hear that !@#$!!!!!!

  7. :thumbup:

    I hate to go negative, but I gotta vent. I'm tired of BD winning with boring shows. The last two seasons have been a snoozefest. I applaud and admire their talent, but I don't understand how they win when execution is only part of the equation. Their GE scores for the past two years should have been in the bottom in my opinion. Winning all execution captions should put them around 3rd in that case.

    I think the judges are in the tank and the fans are drinking the coolaid. Sorry - call me a basher, hater, idiot - whatever - flame away.

    On a more positive note - congrats Crown! For me, they tie with Bluecoats (homer alert) for most entertaining show of the evening - followed closely by SCV, BAC and Cavies in that order.

    Congrats to Blue Stars and Crossmen for making the evening show. Well done!

    DON'T hate my good man when your good your just good!!!!! :music:
