    The trilogy was announced back in the beginning of 2022, and 2024 is going to be a show about Carl Sagan, and preserving the earth. Take a look at the 2022 show announcement. It literally lists out, for the unsuspecting and the suspecting, the theme of the trilogy. Look at the quotes on that page in descending order: Yves Klein (Tempus Blue), Henri Matisse (The Cut-Outs), Carl Sagan (“Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”) https://bluedevils.org/programs/a-corps/seasons/?programID=1&season=2022&module=info

    OH WOW. You caught that. lol.. They've literally announced a trilogy

    i would love for them to do something challenging and unique, push the activity forward and not just sit back on their laurels.  Try something new and innovative, take a risk.

    Let me correct you here. Every show Blue Devils have ever done, formulaic or not have been High Sky CHALLENGING!

    If you saying going a different direction, Yes i can be onboard with you on that. They don't need to do anything innovative until they feel that's the way they want to. taking risk is such a subjective term i've come to learn in drum corps. They do take risk with many of their shows if we want to focus on details, just not in the way you want it, so they are overlooked. You want them do an entire risky show like many others are saying, but that's unnecessary unless they want to do that. Who says BD need to push the activity forward ? aren't the activity being pushed forward enough ? Let things flow and evolve naturally, someone else can do it too, give the other more credit that just saying BD SHOULD, why should it be the BD responsibility for that ?

    Let me be the first to congratulate BD for their 4-peat!! 

    WELP. Would be the only in history, now that's how you up from a three-peat lol. But seriously take nothing for granted, this year alone have told us how strong the field will be coming for 2024, and you just never know who might have that show to go to go toe to toe against BD.

    Lean into the anime and West coast jazz the whole way.  Seatbelts + Stan Kenton with anime inspired visual storytelling.  

    They've already been capturing the attention of anime fans the past two years and pulling them into the activity fanbase.  Pulling harder could break open a whole new community to the activity and provide a fresh new look to a classic BD jazz sound. 

    I agree with this 100% This would be pure BD magic, while opening up the door to a whole new fan base.

    New day heading towards a new season. Out with 2023 drum corps season, moving on to 2024. But before i look forward i and many of us still have many days ahead to still reflect on the Incredible 2023 season; on all the shows that was produced and performed.

    The level of talent across the board was impressive, the competitive nature of the young members were fierce and magnificent to watch. The return and battle for 12th in top 12, the rise of The Mandarins from previous 10th place to 6th. The return of Cadets, The resilience of Cavaliers, The battles of Troop, BS, Colts. The incredible designs and battles between Phantom, Mandarins, Cadets. The Spectacular show down of the top 4; BAC, BC, CROWN, BD was unmatched and thrilling, and the 21st victory of the BD Undefeated streak from 2022 to 2023, technically they haven't lost a show since finals 2019, which is another record in the history books.

    What would ya'll like to individually like to see Blue Devils explore for the 2024 show.

    Should it be a conceptual, and what kind of concept ?

    Should it be purely musical, and what musical genre would you like for them to explore ?

    Should it be another arts show ?

    Should it be light heart , or Dark themed ?

    Should be Story telling ?
