We've seen most smaller corps disappear.
2000
Division 1 corps: 20
Division 2/3 corps (including international): 46
2010
World Class corps: 23
Open Class corps (including international): 16
proof that the activity is dying.
ITS BEEN FUN!!!

How they managed to be the highest scoring guard is a mystery to me .....
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.
-
Three-peat? Dynasty?
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!!!

Hmmmmm ... I recall some wild nights with 27th and SCV at the hotel in 74(?). In fact, most of SCV's drum line and the drum major streaked the hotel hallways in nothing but aussies, gauntlets, gloves and shoes.
We looked forward to staying in hotels for champs. Just sayin'
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?!
-
Recaps are up: I don't even know why I bother questioning scores anymore, especially during finals week... but how the heck does the Cadets hornline go from placing 1st and 2nd all season to 5th? I mean, seriously.
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 have no clue what I just saw. lol how can you be blessed with a horn line like BD is and then not let them play anything other than dissonant horn stabs and whole notes??!! That was ########...wow.
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.

What are the chances that at every Blue Devils show this year they have the blind judging visual and the deaf judging music? Maybe I'm just a hater,....hahaha...then so be it. I cannot stand Blue Devils show this year. It rates one step below how much I dislike Bluecoats this year. Mirrors? Really? It might be the only prop more distracting and absurd than chairs for a show about 1930 (which still don't get by the way). I have lost all faith in the activity and judging. It's obvious that politics and who you know, have clouded everyone's judgment. I thought demand was worth half of your score (in essence). I guess for certain corps that totally goes out the window and we just throw arbitrary numbers on the sheet. Yes, I'm very ###### off. I was planning on going to Indy with my wife and daughter this year, but I'll be selling my tickets now. There's no point in going if they're already having the Blue Devils name plate engraved for the championship trophy.
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?
-
That might have been the most Consonance BD has played all season!
Fixed it for you!
lol
-
I think BD was the only corps not to march into their retreat formation
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!!!

Pro team players get payed millions of dollars to tolerate boos. They're adults.
These kids are mostly average people who pay thousands of dollars to do what they love. Plus, they're kids.
Booing them sucks.
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...
-
And FYI, soccer is waaaaaay more boring than BD.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!1!1!ONE!!!!

####.....i only opened this thread because I thought it was about the old 311 track Misdirected Hostility :-P
Now you have found my motivation for the thread title. YOU WIN!!!!
Why is DCI so unknown by almost everyone?
in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

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