If BD was going to bring back any music from the 70s-80s, might as well bring back the single baddest piece of music to ever grace a football field.
La Fiesta, BD 1984.
Game over. Everybody go home. See you in 2025. No one is topping that.
BD throws down La Fiesta in Indy, the heck with throwing babies.
We will see grown adults getting tossed around Lucas Oil.

Hey, Fizzle, Channel One Suite hardly fits the dark theme you want so bad! 🤣 i am cool with reprising Channel One. Much preferred over dark! And Buddy Rich played a concert at my high school in 1974 or 75. Hard to remember which, as it was, after all, a concert in the 70s. 🤣
🤣 Not really saying i want it in a dark theme, i want the dark theme differently, but I'd love to experience Channel One Suite in a modern show. I Want to experience what you beautiful people experienced in 76.

LISTEN! This masterpiece was my introduction to Blue Devils via audio cassette of their 76 show, it was in the 90s though, specifically their 1992 season. I was watching their 1992 finals show, while listening their 76th on cassette. 76 got stuck in my head ever since.
This piece (Channel One Suite) I am dying for them to revisit, so badly. I am praying for this.
Here's A Buddy Rich version.

I will be right next to you cheering for BAC as well. If another corps is better than BD, I have zero issues showing them love and support.
2018, I cheered SCV all the way across the finish line. Babylon has one of my favorite closers ever.
2016, You best believe I was all aboard the Bloo hype train. And that was a sweet train to be on.
2013, Crown was here in SoCal housing at my kids Alma Mater Vista Murrieta High School. BD was also housing a few miles away from my house as well. Guess what? I went to more Crown rehearsals than BD.
I can support my favorite corps (BD), be a Mandarins Dad and fangirl their historic rise..................but also show love to other corps without tearing them down, spreading lies and false narratives because I don't like some scores and placements.
That's right! That's the spirit brother. We should celebrate success of any group whose rising to achieve the highest. We win in every ways, great shows, great corps, equals the best entertainment. We do this in pure enjoyment of the activity and pure happiness of the all the kids journeys'

Good grief. Here we go, again. What part of "they are now a part of drum corps history" don't some people understand? Stop clinging and just let it go, already.
Yeah.. With understanding though, it's a coping mechanism of the realization that cadets is no more. It's tough for a lot of folks including myself, but we all deal with trauma and loss differently, so people will still dream up scenarios to cope, just hoping. But it's probable more armful than helpful, that when the truth is The Cadets history have come to an all time stop. That's very tough for many.

Gosh, we are very aligned. When Ghostlight was announced I was rejoicing thinking we were in for some wicked minors beating us down again. I was bummed when I first saw it, not bc it was bad, but bc I had a totally different desire. They still put out a good product, per usual.
I don’t think we will be getting dark show with a theme of The Romantics. But who knows?! Im always wrong on here…lol. Maybe they want to subvert expectations and throw us a surprise.
Yes.. lol. I feel ya. who knows The Romantics might just be so dark it throws itself into horror territory Lmao.. wishful thinking lol.

I told my son after the 2022 season that BAC will win one by 2027. I am sticking with that.
As for this year and the foreseeable future, no one is stopping BD. I'll have to see it to believe it.
Yes i feel the same, once i see that show and it's undeniable, i will definitely cheer for Boston, doesn't i am not cheering for BD because that's untill the day i stop breathing, but i will cheer on BAC real Louder for that season.

I’m not saying it anymore because I said it last year and I think I put bad mojo on them.
Yes we don't want to jinx it at all.. But i am truly looking forward for that season of pure brawl battle between BD and BAC with Boston coming out on top.

I think I read that since Covid, Max Verstappen has won like 80% of F1 Races?? That is insane! The only time he loses is when his car has issues. No one has straight up out ran him since I believe 2021/2022.
Blue Devils is Max Verstappen.
Max Verstappen is Blue Devils.
Depends on which way you look at it lol.
FTR........BACs title is coming sooner than later.
Yeah.. I am quietly cheering for BAC to beat my fave and take that trophy Lol... I meant that. If i see that they have the show to win it all, i will be cheering loudly, but until then GO BD!

How about playing a 7+ minute Buddy Rich song that has a drum solo in the middle?
oh - wait a minute
edit - this was way out of the box in 1976
Lol i had to look up 'Buddy Rich' ............ it could still work with an out of the box theme show

Unquestionably, “Methods of Madness” is my favorite. That show and season was epic, and I remember being shocked seeing BD do something as dark and twisty. And man, they killed it. I was really hoping Ghostlight was going to be a return to the dark side, but it didn’t lean into it as much as I thought in pre-season. I’d love to see BD dabble with gut wrenching minor cords again, coupled with their modern execution and show design. Ugh. It’d be the stuff dreams are made of.
I want dark BD too so badly. Ghostlight could have lean towards the dark side, but we only get a smidge of dark in the opening with a little mythological voiceover. Method of Madness is one of the all time.... The way they glide across the field in your face, with that sound.

I do too. Because when they do, they are usually successful and we get a gem like “Methods of Madness.”
Yeah.. A few shows comes to mind. Which were your favorite out of the box BD shows that had you scratching your head and applauding at the same time ?

I hope BD does something out of the box so people can scratch their heads 😁

I liked their show last year, and I’m sure they’ll do something great this year too. That said, I’m def ready to see them shakeup their formula. Maybe they’ll experiment with not using a bunch of rolling props that become a stage, a running follow-the-leader entrance, and costume rip-aways this year.
and i want them to do just all of those.. Yup

I’m just not sure of anyone that could create a visual package to go with a modern machine show other than Gaines.
I know we’ve been lucky to have Gaines back in the activity the last few years. But dang the man needs to start training some prodigies.
Absolutely. Gaines is the man. I agree wholeheartedly, he should be training some prodigies, his mark on drum corps is an exceptional and phenomenal one.

That would be pretty cool!
Yeap. 2006 Cavalier is one of a kind show in drum corps history! one of my all time favorite from them. They could revisit the idea for today's designs style of shows in the Cavaliers way. They don't even have to try topping 2006, or measure up to it, all they have to do, is just make it fresh and new,interesting, entertaining and captivating for today's standard of shows. I'd give anything to see that.

Happy 99.65! This is for the performers who left no stone unturn in 2014.. truly remarkable kids.

I only saw them twice that year, in Glendora and Riverside in late June when the show was still bare bones. Never in my life have i heard so many Oohs and Ahhs from a crowd. All of us in attendance, I don't think we knew at that moment we was witnessing greatness.
The fact that we hadn't even made it to Independence Day, and the season was over regarding who would win was just insane.
Felliniesque live in person was something to behold.
It was an absolutely stunning show! still is...

That teaser gives me some 2006 vibes.
Just saw it and i thought the same. How about a modern machine-esque type of show.

I would consider BDs 2000 show "Methods of Madness" dark.
That opening drill is unreal. 150 people are not supposed to move so effortlessly like that.
I Think we're due for a Dark BD 😈
