I think people are mixing up opinions and actual performance, in regards to Crown and BD. I think BD has an amazing show. It's innovative, not as obscure as some of their more recent shows, has great music and drill, and yes, it's HARD. Some of the things their guard do with those hoops. But, it's clean. If you watch the video from last night, it was almost flawless until the ending. Music was great, all their drill was ridiculously clean, and everything else was great. I believe people would like the show more if they actually read what the show was about. I also think people have an automatic hatred towards BD because they win with shows they don't like. Now Crown, on the other hand, is nowhere near as clean as BD. I actually think their show is kind of boring. It's just like theme and variations with power chords on Fanfare for the Common Man. I'm not knocking the corps. Their music and drill is hard, and they play it very well. But it's nowhere near as clean as BD. They've got to make some serious progress if they even want to get close® to beating them. I think the thing that fans don't get is it's not who has the "better show" (which I think BD does), it's about who marches and plays it better that wins. I think Phantom has the best show, but do they play and march as well as BD? No. They don't.
