     the quiet brass moments in the ballad and nearer to the end are some of the most stunning things i've heard in my 35-year fandom. 

    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.

    True. But unlike 2008, BD doesn't have a 5th place percussion unit for someone to come thru the back door like Phantom did. 

    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!).

  3. Honestly if we have judges like Chumley, Webb, Nola Jones, etc...  buying into the show,  I'm feeling pretty good.   Those are some  BIG names.  

    Also could see CrownGuard pulling ahead.

    Percussion is just gonna be who's judging on finals.  Some guys credit the book -- some do not.  Plus we need drums to be consistent.  I'm never quite  sure if it's the judge or run because I'm perfectly willing to believe a young line has greater variability night to night.

    BW, I think we’re both in CClub area. I believe K is going to be in attendance as well, and I want to say at least one other, though the userID escapes me at the moment.

    I try to arrive about 1:00p, as—at least in prior years—you can enter the stadium and watch Crown run sets. Had I not done so in ‘16 and last year, I’d have missed any opportunity to see any live Crown, even if it was only sliced and diced bits and pieces.

    I’d like to get together for a group photo, but I respect some DCP’ers desire to maintain their anonymity for various reasons. 

    But barring a hospital gurney or a morgue slab, my a$$’ll be in WS come next weekend👑👍

    I too will be there early to watch rehearsal.   Section 408 if I recall correctly.

  5. While catching BD may well be out of reach,  staying ahead of Bloo and hunting down the whale are both in their reach. Boston came out cleaner than anyone —by a lot.  And while this may be their strongest corps performer-wise I don’t think it’s their strongest show design at all. WE SHALL SEE WHAT TRANSPIRES!
