  1. Saying "if GE wasn't part of the criteria, BD wouldn't be be winning", is the old "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" line of reasoning. Audience reaction is a thing, but no way should it be some sort of component of the judging criteria. The general public is understandably biased. They'd scream like heck for some things, and sit on their hands for others based on who they inherently like and don't like, regardless of its actual quality. If audience reaction was part of the criteria Scouts, PR and Troopers would have a ton of championships.
  2. Accurate. When your core staff that knows how to design winning shows has very little turnover in decades, and you're fielding the most talented corps every year, you're going to win. A lot. In sports terms, BD gets their pick of 5 star recruits.
  3. Amen. The only response we should give, if any, is.........21.
  4. Granted, but even GE dominance doesn't usually equal that kind of spread with those sort of music captions scores.
  5. If you would've told me that any corps could come in fourth in percussion and brass and win by more than a point in any show I would've said you were crazy.
  6. Is it me, or did they ramp up the tempo a little bit tonight? Especially the opener.
  7. I'm going to fully admit that I didn't realize until tonight that the ending held note of the ballad was from the trombone soloist and not a flugelhorn. Even more impressive.
  8. Yeah, gonna disagree. Crown came rugged tonight. The circle in the middle wasn't great, but those closing sets were great. Brass showed out big time.
  9. Percussion continues to be a grab bag after Cavies in first. Crown now back to 5th when they had a string of high placements the last few shows.
  10. I have to think the closer still isn't done. That all out sprint half the corps does to the final set is nearly impossible to clean.
  11. Percussion caption has been the most volatile this year. Crown was running 4th or 5th routinely, now they're near the top. I pointed out a while ago the issue BD was having with their achievement versus content scores and whether or not it was time to break out the hose. We're going to find out.
