I’m curious re an old guard staff change in Cadets from ‘88 to ‘89. The ‘88 Guard was 11th in Semis, 9th in Finals. April G. became Caption Head in ‘89, and they won best guard. Did she (they?) replace the staff from ‘87/‘88? ‘87’s Guard is probably the worst on a winning corps (a gift of 7th place) and we’re lucky that the 100 pts. didn’t include guard. How were they able to turn that around so fast?

The story of their design.

Really? A .45 push over Bloo in GE?

Is your avatar really Marshal Will Kane? 👏👏👏🏆

No. BAC won Guard last night.

BD rarely had anybody breathing down their necks.

Every time I see BD’s show title, I think of Peter Griffin in a closeup: “Roadhouse!” “Ghosthouse!” “Ghostlight.” 😂🤪

As we know the 5 caption trophies are averages of THUR, FRI, SAT. If there is a tie, the Finals number breaks it. GE: Bloo has a .45 lead, so if BD is announced the Angelica winner, it’s #19 in ‘19. Nobody else is close. Visual: the Brazale is just the 20 pt proficiency caption. I don’t know why they don’t add in analysis, but it is what it is. BD holds a .15 lead over Bloo. It’s conceivable that Bloo can pick that up but not too likely. Guard: BD has a .05 edge over BAC, so whoever gets the top score tonight wins the Zingali. Brass: wow, Crown only has a .15 lead over (edit) Bloo. Again, Bloo isn’t out of it but needs a tepid run by CC to gain at least that.15. Percussion: SCV is comfortable at .175 over BD. Bloo is .25 back. Again, BD could win Visual and Guard and get the Silver. Bloo MUST win GE to get the Gold — unless this week’s trends go wrong.

I did, too. 😖

Will Flo hang on for the reading of the will—er, scores? Or do I stare at my iPad until they come through?

How dare you! Stop taking my name in vain!

I’m not booing. I’m spewing. 🤤🤤🤤🤫

Yes? 🤪

Remember, Class: we don’t tick anymore. It’s the overall performance/effect.

This squiggly-lined drill gets BD 19.9s and 20s. Way to up the ante, Bloo.

A-facking-MEN!

Tuba tonguing was NAILS!

My absolute favorite moment of ‘19: that F-major, full-throated, chocolate, velvet, F-major HIT in E. Rigby. Yes, I said F-major twice. Now get me a cigarette. 🤯

Ok, pardon my ig’rince, but what does the “Number 9...number 9...” mean?

That’s amazing since Bloo isn’t even set up yet. Powerball numbers, por favor?

Boston’s silks better; BD’s weapons better. I predict another .05 spread. But to whom?

That was so Bumblebee-esque.

Welp, last year in Semis. It’s how BAC won guard. But BD won Guard last night.

Holy SPIT. BD rifles. I’m deceased. 😛😳😵 ⚰️

So far, BAC flags win. Yeesh.
