I still limp and have to wear an eye-patch!

Yes, I remember that too, but I don't see that happening this year; not even by a long shot.

Mandarins still in good position to be 5th. Their next run should tell a lot

love the way BD is using their guard in such exposed ways in this show.

a few sync errors in the flags during the ballad

One thing that bothers me with Bloooo's program is that the props and tarps are used to wall off a large portion of the field from the corps; they seldom use the entire field. I'm generally a very positive fan of Bluecoats, but between the field visuals and the extended narration, they have been a disappointment to me.

Really loving PR's show this year, with the sole exception of the snorkel hats! 🙂

always enjoy Phantom shows. Musically, they usually connect with me. Not sure I care much for their uniforms this year (especially the snorkle hats), but otherwise they remain one of my favorite corps.

BD: SO many big group tosses! and all out front in the open! Dang!

Had the exact thing happen here! Paused and then switched to high cam all on its own! Weird.

love how this show flows - great pacing, and everything seems like it's right where it outta be

As I said in a previous thread, I'm an avid BD wonk, and have been for decades, but this Mandarins show is my absolute favorite show this season. The corps has shown they can run with the big boys! No real weak spots anywhere. Just loving it! Definite would like them to end of 5th at Indy.

It's actually called Music for a Spaghetti Western? ####, I'm smarter than I thought!

Troopers opening music: Music for a Spaghetti Western! Sorry. Drinking a strong rum frozen daiquiri. I'm getting a bit silly.

actually, I saw the show live in Sacramento. It just doesn't work that well for me regardless. Personal aesthetics preference I guess.

Not a fan of the Pacific Crest tarp, but otherwise very much enjoying this year's show. This corps has come a long way it the past few years. I'm thrilled that they are now knocking on the door of finals. (California may continue with three finals corps despite SCV out this season!)

" .......... and then there was a round dial with holes in it on the front, and you put your finger in one of the holes and .............."

This Colts show is really growing on me. Very much enjoying their brass book.

at this point, it would be Pacific Crest. (Crossing my fingers that will be the case).

I've been a Blue Knights fan (actually wearing their T shirt today) going all the way back to the cloud people show, however, this year's production is just not grabbing me. Not to be misunderstand, it's a nice show and sounds nice enough, but it just isn't working for me as much as I'd like.

in the past, their shows often contained a lot more whimsy.

Just commented to my wife that the Crossmen's uniforms are very reminiscent of past Phantom Regiment unis.

I’m a BD honk and have no doubt they win the championship, but this year the mandarins is my absolute favorite show! It’s so bad*ss! ❤️❤️❤️😳

What? Blasphemy! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I f*rt in your general direction! 😝

Crap! You just made me snort milk through my nose! 😜
