BOSTON!!! ALMOST THERE!

I'm at work, so I didn't see the show, but I saw a clip from DCI showing some changes BAC had during the ending company front. Were there any other changes in the show?

This is going to be me on Finals night, I love both of these shows...

If they don't take the gold this year, can we expect them to pull out all the stahps and do a Mahk Wahlburg show next year?

I know that's the new norm recently, but if we're averaging for the gold, are we also averaging for 12th as well? In that instance, if 12ths score dips low enough, do we consider 13th a Finalist because of the average?

Oh for sure, it's absolutely the norm. If I remember right, Phantom 19 was the only 12th place show in a while that didn't drop below 13th from the day before. I was just wondering if we would do this to do all rankings or just 1-3, since 12th place comes with a Finals spot, a Blu-Ray appearance, etc.

It might also make things easier for those at the bottom end of each grouping. Let's say you do Prelims and narrowly get 12th place. You do the same thing again on Semis by the same margin, and you've made Finals! On Finals, you have a terrible run with electronics issues and there's ensemble tears and everything, so you crash and burn. Your average score now drops below the corps in 13th, are they now 12th? If so, should they get an extra show? Are they now considered a Finalist instead?

Bluecoats are also standstill from Covid.

Troopers are a standstill tonight from Covid.

I guess I'm a Boston fan! 🔥🔥|🔥|🔥🔥🔥 Rammstein show when?

OI, THAT'S THE BLOODY CHAMP'IN, INNIT GOVNA?

Prepping research for possible history tonight. This could be the first time since 12 August 2005 that Boston has beaten Santa Clara.

I feel like they started that in 2019 for me. I haven't actually watched it in a while, but I love listening to Vox Eversio.

I don't know what is causing this tonight, but I think I'm finally starting to buy in to SCV this year.

Time stop. Cavaliers too powerful.

In Soviet Russia, drum corps announces you!

Performing their 2022 program Tilt...

They're my favorite corps, and it sucks to admit that their usual ticket to Finals might go to Dubuque or Casper instead.

Per DCI on Facebook: After evaluating show-time performance conditions with event safety teams, stadium staff, and the collective directors representing the corps in each of the Oklahoma DCI Tour Events this evening, it was determined that DCI Lawton will be performed in standstill exhibition only, while performances for DCI Broken Arrow will go on as previously planned.

With Bluecoats scoring below Boston, and withholding SCV scoring much higher than their trajectory, this could be Boston's first time being the last corps on the field in San Antonio with them being in the 1-3 grouping for the first time ever. **|*|***

My first shirts were a Red Violin and Great Divide show shirt from my first show in Atlanta 2009, but those were 13 years and 3 shirt sizes ago and I no longer have them. I do have one of (mostly) each World Class corps show shirts from this year, though! I've gotten really into collecting them way back in 2017ish and definitely tried to step up my game last year.

I'm not sure how many people will be able to make this happen, but good on Madison for such a nice gesture from last night's weather. https://www.facebook.com/100059708551268/posts/pfbid01BFHX6gATCVJfs78zvzGbDKBBEKKsaE64HQDWGBuM1nYbArNFfidM5ciq93LYeYSl/
