What was the penalty for?

I very much agree with you on this. The content is there, now they need the achievement. I believe they can do it and am hoping they can. That is their challenge. But I agree they need to achieve the potential of this show.

Sorry do not agree. If cadets fall from first was unexpected. Bluecoats rise is possible

Next thursday

But had they won tonight. It would be so different and boy those judges got it right. I love the see saw effect of rationalizing every score. Tonight they lost first place and tomorrow may indeed be different. But tonight they lost first place and are numerically in third

Yes. Just like tonight! Things are shaking up

Keep cleaning Bluecoats!

Please Don't count out Bluecoats. This is the show to watch

Plus Blooo had to go on first. Now bring on Atlanta. Any insight on the new closer?

Come on Blooooo. Some good scores. They are not out at all

I agree with this as well. it seems Bluecoats' schedule this year just doesn't have them up against their top competitors that often, so it becomes difficult for me to get a real bearing on how they are doing or potentially doing with respect to their chief competition. Not enough shows with them against Blue Devils, Cadtes, Crown etc. this year. and TOC,s always seem just slightly different than the big regionals etc. by that I mean the order etc. anyway I guess it is all going to play out the next week or so with Atlanta Allentown and finals. I got to see Bloo a lot this year and love the show and just want to see them in the top three. This is not a 5th place show in my opinion. Anyway go Blooo

Let's go Bluecoats!

What was the hiccup and how did they recover?

Let's go Bluecoats!

do they still freeze in that pose? and look at the crowd?

it is white noise. Static. But it does initially sound like crowd noise. But it is definitely white noise that stops when they look to the audience.

There were changes mostly in movement choreography during some moments no big design change. Some added music to a few places to make it more pronounced. All in all an amazing show with amazing energy

I was at ansemble last night in Niles where they are staying and there were 5 tenors on the field. He must be back from an injury is my best guess

I agree with tigers I just hope a more effective ending comes about. The whole show is pretty fast and "kinetic". So I hope they end it with that as well. It all starts with noise. So end it with more. Maybe they can roll the spheres up a ramp. Haha

love the scores Go Bloooo!

glad to see and read allthe great comments and insights looking forward toseeing the corps alllive in a couple weeks

thank you for the suggestion--i have done just that--thanks again

I was at Denison last week and got to see them practice, and at each session they welcomed visitors so nicely and specifically asked that no pictures or videos be taken or posted. How unfortunate that someone won't abide that request. Part of the drum corps season is the anticipation, whether of show/music announcements to uniform changes to props. As much as I love to find out information I also love to have the corps release it as they wish. I wish the picture here were taken down to honor what the Bluecoats have asked. I feel the same way for all the corps.

I believe that is indeed lasts year,s tilted sash

I agree with this--for now--until i see the show--but that word "Noise" is hard for me to get excited about with all its non musical connotations. but again will have to wait for the show to see how well it works out
