  1. This is a bit off topic (forgive me), but, for reasons I can't quite remember, I missed watching anything from the 2018 season in real time. Managed to track down videos from most of the finalists, though, and was watching them this afternoon before the show started. 2018 was a freaking amazing season and I really regret that I missed it. So many corps doing really unique shows that parted from their usual style. Babylon, of course, was incredible. But so many of the other finalist shows were also amazing. I particularly loved BK's arrangement of Rite of Spring. Haven't been able to find a good video of that one though, just a rehearsal video. I'm tempted to buy the Blu-ray, but am worried that a lot of it will be silent. Has anyone bought it and able to comment on quality? Its a shame that, after all these years, DCI still hasn't found a way to get the archive back up. Seems like they've given up on ever making it available again. And with the death of the Blu-ray's, it seems like a lot of those amazing past shows are just going to be lost to history. There's got to be a better solution.
  2. How so? Performing on Friday is one day earlier than performing on Saturday.
  3. I'm not sure what your point is. Today is one day after tomorrow ... hence an extra day.
  4. Allentown is a funky show, and I don't think BD had their best run last night. I wouldn't read that much into it. Makes for some fun conversation leading into Indy though.
  5. Whether they call it one show, or two shows, there's no way to discount the fact that the corps that competed tonight got an extra day of rehearsal over the corps that performed last night. And the way the corps are progressing score wise at this time of the year, I don't see how you can honestly compare the two nights as if they happened together. The corps that performed tonight SHOULD be scoring higher than if they had performed last night.
  6. It's the same panel from last night, right? Do they look at the scores from last night when judging tonight's corps? Never quite understood whether the two nights are supposed to be compared or not ... or why they still do this over two nights.
  7. Their ensemble sound is just incredible, as always. Sets the standard every season.
  8. The Tristan may overtake Both Sides Now as my favorite ballad by finals night.
  9. Crown's uniforms look great up close on the multi-cam, but I don't really like them at all on high cam.
  10. The tuba solo/feature was as clean as I've heard it. This show has grown on me so much. Absolutely love it and they are freaking amazing at performing it.
  11. As a relative newbie, what's the deal with the kick out? Is that a PR tradition that I'm not familiar with?
  12. You're probably right. Cavies show is still great though. Really improved from the beginning of the season.
  13. I don't care what people say, you can't get that kind of sound from anything but a trombone.
  14. Regardless of where it ends up placing, I'm thrilled with PR's show this year and the direction they are heading. One of my favorites of the season.
  15. Where do I get some of those Cadets basketball shorts? They look like they'd be nice to sleep in.
  16. Mandies are not going to fall off before finals, like they have at times in the past. That was clearly the best they've been a ll season, IMO.
