Jeremy.

Just responding to the people responding to me. And praising corps along the way. Wish there was a livefeed

Then it's weird that only the Cadets are tired. Apparently BD/Crown are just not practicing as hard. All I'm saying is that they're all great corps, and if BD/Crown or Cadets win.. it's not due to the other corps being tired.

Forgive me, I meant this as a defensive statement. I'm super happy for crown getting 1st last night, and think they deserve it (and 2nd the night before). People have been saying it's due to cadets not getting enough sleep, or the ToC scoring being wacky... And then tonight people who usually cheer for Cadets say they look tired today...again. Again, I'm not offended. Just calling some people out for always having an excuse for the Cadets not winning... other corps are allowed to be better.

Fair enough. :)

It's like suggesting they're the rightful owners of 1st place, and the only way BD/Crown could top them is if the corps were under the weather. Kind of annoying.

No, I'm a BK homer and love that crown is winning. Definitely not offending me. But people have been saying "Cadets need sleep" as an excuse for 3 days, and maybe they're actually not tired and performing their butts off. :)

Just a thought.. MAYBE the cadets look GREAT! (hence getting a medal in every competition this year), and the folks saying they look tired are more offensive than the ones saying they think their show should be in 2nd or 3rd... just a thought.

You didn't say anything negative about Crown/Cadets/BD/Judges. IS THIS DCP!?!?!??!?!?!!??!?! On a serious note. I agree, these corps are doing SO well. I especially love The Mandarins from that grouping! That trumpet section is on FIRE.

I think I would too.. but that's the story line. The end is the ascension from hell.

corpsband, on 25 Jul 2015 - 9:48 PM, said: <---Super BK homer but, It's almost as good as a finals night win, because it was preceded by tons of Cadet Fanboys stating the 2nd place finish the previous night was due to ToC scoring. So.. everyone had every right to be crazy excited! (since the cadet homers couldn't blame it on ToC). It was like a moral win. We believe Crown is just as good, or better.. it was like a slap in the face to the doubters.

...so what's the complaint?

OP - It's Crown's home show. I'm assuming it'll be them

No, it's Atlanta. Have you ever been to that city? If I lived there and managed a dome, I'd be pissy all the time too.

I still like BD/Crown/Cadets chances. If someone fell in Crowns show, they woulda got 2nd. <3 that we have a super competitive season.

Loving it.

Crown won, but only cause this was a TOC show.. scores are always screwy. ....oh wait.

CAROLINA MF CROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You spelled Carolina Crown wrong.

Crown

it's a top 4ish (maybe gold) show for sure, but yeah... I feel like they play a LOT of notes for the sake of playing notes. Extending phrases from shosty's original work that kinda ruin the intensity. BUT They're freaking good.

Crown BD Cadets Don't worry, we forgive you for your typo.

I don't think anyone has said phantoms performers suck. It's exactly the opposite. People are praising the corps, just saying show design isn't as good as when JD was there. I marched BK 05 and I thought our show design was bad... I don't think I'd take offense if someone on a forum thought so too. :\

Don't feel sorry for us, we did get sad when JD left... but look what he did to Vanguard. ;)

No, I'm a horn student that sought out J.D. Shaw because I fell in love with what he did with Phantom Regiment. He ended up leaving florida and teaching at my University. Studied under him and I think he's incredible. Since he left Phantom (minus Turandot) their shows have been kinda dull in comparison. It's not an attitude, it's an opinion. Notice I say NOTHING about the kids, just the show design.
