it also has to do with A TON of people just not getting "music".... people don't care about what they don't understand.

proof that the activity is dying. ITS BEEN FUN!!!

ummm... what? its the BD guard. nuff said. they're THAT good EVERY year. get a clue man.

one thing i can say is... consistency is KEY. Consistency in the entire organization, staff, directors, techs, arrangers, whoever... also in BD's case, it doesn't hurt to have a slew of Hall of Famers on your staff.

The little snippet of Bluecoats show on the retreat broadcasts made me want to go find the show somewhere and watch it. Awesome job Bloooo.

OH GOD NO!!!! PLEASE DONT GO BACK TO DYNASTY!!! lol

hopefully a thread this scientific doesn't boil down to someone saying the Blue Devils cheated, like in 2007.... HAHAHAHA!!! seriously though, this is a cool read. interesting to see how loud they were getting. Now only if we could get measurements from when all corps used G bugles... Are there any general measurements?

I don't understand why everyone thinks BD was so disrespectful to PR in 2008.... I posted a picture awhile back with a member from BD and a member from PR after scores were announced. No, they weren't fighting or calling each other names. They were hugging. I think some of you on here need a hug too... Lol!!!

BD is also getting Cheese Bagels for night time snack... Unfair advantage?

So whats the deal with everyone posting about how the crowd reacted to BD, supposedly anyways... I thought this was a BD friendly environment?!

I think Albert Lo has been reading too many DCP posts about the Blue Devils music.... puts them in 4th in rep.

BD 97.9 my prediction on pg 14, was off by .2... oh well ON TO SEMIS!! This ain't over folks.

bluecoats.. 96.25... someone screwed up earlier.. lol

the people in my theater were throwing babies after BD was finished. and were silent for all the other corps. weird, huh.

I know what I saw, does that make me smarter than you? lol i kid i kid.

based on scores so far... I'm predicting BD will get a 98.1 tonight.

Just wanting to know why they've dropped off in the past 2 years, save drums. It seems like they've had very entertaining, crowd pleasing shows from 2003(which i consider their breakout year) through 2008. 2009, 2010, just aren't up to par with what I've come to expect from them. Anyone have a clue? just a 2 year down period? what gives?

Just wondering. at last nights show.

So you're not going to attend DCI finals because you hate one show? and you're selling your wife and daughter's tickets, but what if they liked that show, or maybe they don't care about the scores and are interested in seeing all the other corps?

Fixed it for you! lol

they haven't for years... get over it.

this is great news indeed. and to make this dcp appropriate... I IZ SOOO GLAD TEH BLUE DEVILS DIDN'T GET ANY $M$O$N$E$Y$!!1!!!!111ONE!!!

Maybe this is how i should have started this thread. Maybe had i called myself formerCavalierbari, we would have steered clear of all of this BD stuff. The main point of this thread is as follows..... don't boo, at all... find the judges after the show and then boo if you must boo. 2.3 points does not equal 3 points and finally, look at the captions. Cadets are in striking distance in ALL captions, they were about .2 - .5 down from BD in most captions... hey... they even got GE Music... I seriously can't believe and the past crap people pull up to fight BD with. I can think of things other corps said to us during my time with them(02,03, and 04). So it goes both ways, and if you don't think it does, then you need to quit drinking the koolaid of your "fave" corps...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!1!1!ONE!!!!

Now you have found my motivation for the thread title. YOU WIN!!!!
