Great job tonight Corps!! Congrats CROWN!!! Cant wait till all groups get together again!! This is one great season so far.

This is so true!!

Good to see Crown's percussion scores coming up. I know they are busting butt to level things out and get afoot of their situation. Must be very difficult but they are handling it well and moving on! Way to go kids!!

I dont know what was going on with that last night. I cant believe he placed them 4th in brass. We all know that's not so. Bly judged them in Denton and had them 1st with higher scores. Hard to believe that they dropped that much in 2 days. HE must have had a bad night!

Dont forget Bluecoats. They're still in the mix too! Incredible numbers tonight. Time for everybody to bring their A game. Atlanta is goiing to be HOT!!! Crown has a bad spot. Judges will save the numbers for the last 3. Just wait and see.

oh my...............................

I just noticed that there is going to be a full retreat with JUST the last 12 performing corps. That hardly seems fair to the other 10/11 groups. I know they probably cant fit all of the groups on the filed but doesnt it just kind of belittles the earlier groups? I know they would love to be out there on the field as well being recognized for a job well done. Seems like there could be a more equitable way of doing this for all groups. The earlier groups never get to do retreat........................

For real? What a shame. That's very interesting because music use to be SO important to them there. All of the music programs were just outstanding. I would think they would welcome another musical organization intoe there buildings to promote musical growth among their kids. I guess the corps will have to go to Maryland. I hope no one will have to sleep on buses. That is just wrong.........

BD 93.1 Crown 91.3

Thanks

Well I am with you there. I want them to have an outstanding show and hang close with those devils. thanks for the info and I'm glad to hear that the kids are pumped for the show tonight!! Bring it on guys!! I cant wait for the results. I hope the gap closes a bit.

"ELP'ing" ??

Wow, Allentown? that's kind of late isnt it? Such a shame about the percussion. Cant they practice more or tweat the book so that it is stronger? I would be working them like old mules if I were their instructors. ####, such a let down!

Looks like Va is in for a treat......Blue Devils making 2 appearances, in Salem and DC!! Awesome. We get to see what it is all about! Gonna be 2 great shows. I hope I get to see one of them.

Is this the only dome show for the corps other than finals?

I know, right? Glad to see the 90. I wonder when they are going to put in their real ending. I hear that they have more to the show. ////will the persussion get any better? I wonder what the staff is doing to increase their performance?

It seems kinda strange that by doing a random draw, 3 - 6 turned out the way it did but just by happenstance the top 3 are in EXACT order!! I dont buy that. Seems like there should be a draw for the complete show or at least a bigger grouping say by 6's. Some corps get all the luck!

Should be a good show tonight. Crown first meeting with BD. How will they stack up? Good luck to all!

Ballads are a beautiful way of showing a groups expressiveness. I sure hope they arent phased out. One of the most beautiful moments of a show.

Things are really heating up now. Gonna be an interesting week!! I cant wait for Atlanta.

I admire ALL of the corps members for enduring hard rehearsals and tiredness and home sickness to give us exciting performances each night!!!!! Thanks kids!

Wow!! Things have heated up since I was last here. Congrats to all of the performing groups. Crown finally breaks 90! Cool. This season is like a roller coaster ride! So exciting.

J J Pipitone was the judge at finals last year. It was not him tonight.

So I guess that's the answer to my earlier question! Very interesting recaps. Been a long time since we've seen the top groups spread out like that. WOW!!Congrats to all of the corps tonight. Good luck to everybody tomorrow.

According to a post earlier today, the young lady in the line is injured with tendonitis and another member may have to step down temporarily for personal reasons. I just wish them the best tonight. I know it may be difficult because they depend on each other. I'm sure they will perform the best they can considering.
