Loved the show. Might be the best BD show in quite some time. What struck me the most is how detailed every moment has become. There's not a second in the show where they're not building to the next effect. While the guard book is not the most difficult of the top 4, it is written exquisitely well to maximize GE (for example when entire guard is on rifle -- that's mostly A class work. But it all looks great. Will always love 👑 but this year I'm seeing a on the side

Genesis reminding everyone drum corps is supposed to be fun !

Light shower already over.

RainBEAT 🌧️

Oh and ensemble with NO ELECTRONICS at all. Heavenly!

.

Ensemble starting way early due to weather concerns

If you’re gonna be at nightbeat let me know and I’ll add you to the meetup thread. So far I have @nsxanax @BWise @wigwam and me.

Posted this over in Crown thread but the show thread deserves a copy. Nice Stadium!!!

Yeah some DCPrs showing their true colors!

Rained yesterday — a lot. Turned my 1.5 hr DCA->GSO flight into a 6hr flight! (Mostly in the terminal but still).

That’s the thing. While Allentown (the city) rakes in a lot of $$ from tourism , the school district doesn’t really make a lot (so lots more left for DCI.) The stadium is cheap to rent compared to many other venues. And. It’s a huge tradition no one is ready to let die.

Looks that way! Honestly I want to *hear* more than anything.

Nice stadium!

At the stadium. Ensemble at 330

Rutgers has hosted DCI shows. Stadium A. Everything else F. There are better options. But East isn’t going anywhere. JB Crumbling down is here to stay.

Actually IMHO Aungst's biggest add is having him run ensemble. It's...impressive.

uh no thank you. logistical nightmare (but nice stadium)

googling right now for some carolina bbq for lunch!

ok so i was gonna make it "Ahh. The children of the nightbeat. What beautiful music they make" but it seemed a little long!

didnt see the other thread

agree. in fact i get goosebumps during the intro when those theatrical brass swells start rolling in one after another. gets me everytime they are breaking ground (again) with this brass book. and i love it.

ACTUALLY it's Crown who can run them down this year (because clearly they're already stabbing one guy in the show -- just sprinkle some more mayhem, maybe take out DM or 2 and BAZINGA!).

2nd'd and without objection so ordered!
