Yeah! BK beat Crown in drums!

Probably one of the best descriptions of the activity today that I have read. Couldn't of said it better.

This is my review: Blue Devils: Very entertaining show with a great design concept. This design team is quite amazing. Cadets: I hate to say this, but personally, Cadets are one of my least favorite this year. Corps is great as usual, but the design is pretty cheesy, and the music is very over played. Bluecoats: This show absolutely thrills me. So many GE moments and a very great hornline. This is probably the best Bluecoats corps ever. Santa Clara Vanguard: The loudest corps this year (even without the trombones). Everything is very well executed, and the drill is eye catching. I'd still take the 2004 show over this one though. Carolina Crown: Though this show is very similar to the last two, I can't help but love Crown's hornline. Amazing book, and they are nailing it. I just wish the guard and drumline was at that par, but they wouldn't be fair. Cavaliers: It's taken me a long time to adjust to the "new" Cavaliers, but this show has made me a Cavies fan again. The design isn't as eye catching as the Michael Gaines era, but it's still a great production. The drumline and the visual package is still one of the best attributes of the Cavaliers. Phantom Regiment: I feel like this is a top 5 hornline, and the uniform changes are awesome and capture Black Swan perfectly. Blue Knights: Seeing how this corps is my alumni corps, I can't help but be proud of them. This show is one of the most emotionally engaging productions in a while. The fact that people are crying from this show means they're doing well. I hope they place 7th this year. Boston Crusaders: Maybe if I read "Animal Farm" I'd appreciate/understand this show better. Blue Stars: Enjoyed their show, and their idea with the show. Interesting concept and props. Madison Scouts: Love this show - especially the music. Not to mention, they have some excellent screamers. Crossmen: Crossmen are hit and miss with me, and unfortunately this show is a miss for me. Troopers: I enjoyed this show so much, and I hope that they make it into finals. Spirit of Atlanta: One of my favorite shows of the night. The trumpet soloist wins the award for best screamer in my opinion.

And VK in the 90's was very quirky.

But seriously, this is my favorite show this year. Maybe BD will peak, and Bloo will win?

BK has a great spot again!!

Of course it is.

Stop hating on BD, they have an awesome show this year, and it was super clean tonight. Also, I will bandwagon all I want on Bluecoats show - it's phenomenal.

The unsung attribute of top placing corps is their rehearsal technique. Post some videos of excellent rehearsal technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bov2en_vLos This is immaculate rehearsal technique displayed by the Blue Knights.

Last year, Broken Arrown ate us up (Blue Knights), and we fed off of the energy and had good results. Hopefully, the same happens for them this year.

Blue Knights, Carolina Crown, Santa Clara Vanguard, Crossmen, and Colts.

The way to start this is for someone to create a Sound Sport group of it.

Everyone gets a rain out and BK gets a nice full rehearsal day!

Cavaliers 2002...almost flawless.

Santa Claus Vanguard - 85.whatever Brue Kanuggets - 81.5 Madison Skunks - 79.2 Crotchmen - 76.8 Troopaloop - 75.5 Organ Crusaders - 72.2 Pacific Crust - 70 Mandolins - 69.8 Acrademy - 68.8 Gascades - 64

Honestly, we probably wont know what will happen until San Antonio.

I'm so excited...and jealous.

BK not only broke 80, but they got an 81!! I aged out in the wrong year, lol. http://www.dci.org/scores/recap/recap_window.cfm?event=5fd60df2-033a-47fb-bb2f-fd4837003278

Yeah GET IT BK!

What I think will happen: 1. Blue Devils 2. Cadets 3. Bluecoats 4. Crown 5. Santa Clara Vanguard 6. The Cavaliers 7. Phantom Regiment 8. Blue Knights 9. Boston Crusaders 10. Madison Scouts 11. Spirit of Atlanta 12. Blue Stars/Crossmen What I want to happen: 1. Blue Devils 2. Bluecoats 3. Carolina Crown 4. Cadets 5. Santa Clara Vanguard 6. The Cavaliers 7. Blue Knights 8. Phantom Regiment 9. Madison Scouts 10. Boston Crusaders 11. Spirit of Atlanta 12. Troopers

Honestly, I believe that DCI is trying. If Sound Sport keeps on developing then it could promote DCI on a local level. Though Sound Sport doesn't have the same boundaries as DCI, it's still apart of the activity. It's also a great way for new corps to start small, and to learn how real drum corps works. Also I like the fact that anyone could participate in it. I believe it's a great concept with a lot of potential.

Here we go again. Another DCP pissing contest within a topic that ultimately doesn't matter.

That's actually the point this year.

DCP's website is blue after all.
