Hmmm...I seem to remember a certain corps from Rockford one year closing a deficit of 3.7 from BD during the last week of the season to beat them.
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!

Strange -- a few corps ago, my FLO feed froze just long enough for me to press the play button and get it going again. It happened about 2 more times. Then I noticed my multi-cam view looked awfully like hi-cam. I guess FLO did a switcheroo on me.
Had the exact thing happen here! Paused and then switched to high cam all on its own! Weird.

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.

Not at all. That's totally the vibe and it works.
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.

The tarp works alright in person (although it tends to get wrinkled and split in the middle). Doesn’t really work at all on camera.
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!)

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

BK doesn’t make it who is in?
at this point, it would be Pacific Crest. (Crossing my fingers that will be the case).

This is a show
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.

What is The Academy’s identity? I need an education. Thanks!
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! ❤️❤️❤️😳
