I’m not evil(I think) and I believe as well Blue Stars out place Phantom again this year. There’s no shortage of competition between the 5-8 spots though!
I’m looking forward to that competition from corps in the 5-8 spots. I hope there’s some back and forth to make things interesting

Blue Stars were in that position at one point and it changed. No luxury in drum corps these days…every year has new winners. So because I question BS’s chances I’m evil? Seriously. I wish them luck but I will wait until the scores are announced in August who is better.
Whoa, slow your roll. Jc, are you for real? Where did I say you were evil?

Based on what?
Based upon Regiment having to play catch-up design wise while Blue Stars have the luxury of taking some risks that I believe will be entertaining and rewarded on the sheets.

they laugh react any post i make with Stars over Phantom and have to quote everything I say.
As much as I enjoy PR there’s no way they’re placing higher than Stars. Ain’t gonna happen

Greg Powers took over and has a very strong California influence working with POW and have marched Pulse. Stars percussion was best under Mapes and Grom and I have high hopes for Powers and Hernandez.
I loved the snare timbre under Mapes and Grom. It had body and depth, not that dry sound of pounding out beats on a Formica countertop. Correct me if I’m wrong on the those aforementioned caption heads

There’s soooooo much Joni from which to choose that there is no reason to keep trotting out Both Sides Now. The opening of this would make Brahms proud. It’s originally a Nat King Cole song but I love her interpretation

Sad to see their preview was canceled because of weather but safety first. I’m looking forward to hearing their brass in person. I think it’s going to be another breakthrough season for Blue Stars. Sleep on them at your own risk 😉

kay, a LOT of this show's music is more similar to Cadets 1986 than I originally realized.
I like how Boston has treated the music.
Sorry folks, I love to compare and contrast!
There was also Mandarins’ gutsy DIII winning show in 1999.

Gonna be a FUN year!!! I will say this much, Colts this year…😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥!!!! GEESH!!!
That’s exciting to hear. Are they marching a larger corps this year? Their smaller size didn’t deter them from a competitive season in ‘22

I think All is Full of Love may become a candidate for the fans choice, ballad of the year. Of any piece being played this year by a corps, hearing this one is what I am most anticipating.
We have heard Hunter, the overture to Dancer in the Dark, 107 Steps, and a few others from Bjork on the field over the years. ( Of course with Crown this year, add Bachelorette to that list too). But All is full of Love has been on my list of “ the music corps should do” for quite some time. (This piece, and many of her songs from the album Vespertine, would be my choices to note in Lances’ thread).
Bjork may be known for a genre of music that is uniquely her own. Her weird lyrics, odd time signatures, and unique polyrhythmic layers and beats in her music, are things to admire and love about her. But this piece is just beautiful and emotional, perhaps different from many of her other songs. It showcases her incredible vocal range, perhaps the best of any of her songs.
The “small, yet mighty Valkyrie”- as Rza from Wu Tang once called her, after doing a collaboration.
I am sure Crown is going to play this with all the power and emotion each and every night that you see here. Very much looking forward to hearing it this year.
This piece and the Thomas Newman 1917 compliment each other very well. So far this is the rep I’m most anticipating. I Just might become a Crownie this Summer 😘
