Even this encore sounds more precise than it did in Denver.

I'm not kidding when I say a not-insignificant % of the BK MMs choose BK at least partly because they get to be part of one of the all-time feel-good traditions of drum corps. 20 years from now I bet most of these kids forget their opener drill but remember the times they played "Eyes" in that one stadium somewhere where the crowd was crazy

Agreed. like they shook off a fog or something. Good sign.

prep step

Okay, this is getting it. Finish strong, BK!

In the museum gallery of BK ballads through the years, this one is nice, but doesn't have the emotional pull of so many others. Still, it's getting better.

I think so. They did that in 2017, too -- solo snare

okay finally some real BK energy

waiting to add the "F"

You're not wrong. I also think that sun is going to wind up moving front/center with the corps doing a reverse sunburst around it. What they do with the rope, I have no idea.

"guy running through line of horns to object of the show" is pretty shopworn. Even BAC is doing it this year

okay that moving/arcing/rotating circle of mellos is way cool

Visual is cleaning nicely

DRUMS

Flo: When in doubt, show the sun thingy

This build is so patient

Troopers look West Texas

Mandarins on the stream were hot

Wind. Big spinning metal bowls. Something's gotta give

killer show. methinks they've got something planned for that finish. Just kind of a big ol' period at the end of a sentence right now

WHOA FLO . . . BALANCE

I have no idea what this is all "about." But it's a ton of fun

This is a GAS

Mandarins are the first corps on tonight who know how to stand still

great brass moment. such controlled engery
