Believe it or not, there used to be such a thing (2 actually, VFW & AL) ; sometimes 20+ Corps would compete. Yes most Corps were small, but they all came to play.
My first memory of drum corps was watching the holy name cadets win the American legion championship in 1957!

This show has really grown on me as the season has progressed. Just the right amount of sentimentality

Dumb question... what's with all the man-scara. Is that a drum corps thing for effect, or are all the kids wearing it these days?

Is it considered bad form, or am I still allowed to drink this strawberry daiquiri while enjoying this Blue Stars show? Asking for a friend

You can always go back to their 2007 show for that!
LOL. I’m too old to remember that. My memory doesn’t work past 2022! 😜

“ …. Not to mention something big is brewing for 2024. I have no idea what it is, but anyone thinking the Mandarins will be a one hit wonder..............go ahead and do your best Cuba Gooding Jr impression and start punching the air.
Mandarins are here to stay.
I’m already salivating over the possibilities for 2024. With 2024 being the year of the dragon, what are the odds we’ll see the color guard perform a traditional dragon dance? I can’t wait.

So heartwarming to see Troopers 2023 on the front sideline cheering their legacy corps on. ❤️

Way to go my kinky little Devils. Haha - meant to say that earlier, because first people thought I was poppy, then someone thought I was some Terri or Joe, then someone thought I was someone else. LOL
You be you! 😎

So many big group tosses! 💙😃

Ok, I need to get a grip. When they just stabbed Arthur, I jumped up in my living room and yell “I am Spartacus”! 😳

Musically I very much enjoy Bluecoats show, but visually I’m not with them. Their giant props have jumped the shark for me. But it’s cool. I just close my eyes and listen

Despite being an avid BD honk, and thinking their show this year is one of their absolute best, and believing that at long last they will finally get their threepeat, I am probably more excited by the possibility that Mandarins break into the top five! Nothing would please me more than having both happen. 😃

Nice!! Pleasant Hill... Home of BD's old home show site, Diablo Valley College.
I lived less than a mile from DVC. Used to walk to Precision West every year.

Yeah they have a couple days to focus on getting everything right. I think they will really feed off the crowd energy in Indy.
I have no doubt that the crowd reaction when they March out onto the field is going to be electric. They’ve garnered a lot of respect and many new fans this season. Hopefully it will inspire the corps to leave everything they’ve got on the field with their best performance yet.

Are you going to the BD Finals watch party in Concord?
Is that the one in Todo Santos Plaza? I heard about it but don’t know much about it. Normally we watch the stream on Flo at home where I can crank up the sound. Can you tell me more; I would consider it.

My wife and I will be going to a theater in Pleasant Hill California, which is right next to Concord. When I went online to reserve my seats, it showed the theater was nearly full. Being so close to Concord. There should be a large BD crowd. Looking forward to it. I go to the theater show every year, including years, when I have been out of town and had to seek out a theater near where I was. It’s always a great evening.

I am trying to figure out what will be streamed this week on Flo. There is no information on their app detailing which days are going to be streamed. If I remember correctly, last year was Prelims performances up until the theater broadcast and then all of Semis and Finals nights.
Does anyone know if this is the same this year?
I apologize if this has been asked previously, but I couldn't find a previous post.
That is the way it has been the past few years. Flo’s “upcoming events” shows DCI Championships as being streamed August 10-12, so it appears there is no change for this year

very pleased with Mandarins score tonight. I've said for some time that I thought they would be setting a new personal best score this season BEFORE they got to Indy. Very confident they will be doing so. Enjoying the race between them, Cadets, and PR. Fun stuff.

not being disrespectful; Bloo looks like they are performing in hospital scrubs. There, I said it. 😇

so pleased to see my local home corps doing so well. This is such an enjoyable show and they are selling it so well. Be proud, Mandarins, be proud.

Random question: is there an over/under on how long the two horn players front right can remain standing on their heads should there be a technical delay to starting the show? Asking for a friend.

In the future, when I remember back to the 2023 season, I'll remember the Mandarins!
