    It is incredible that during the glass breaking portion (after the chorale) has no distinct counts!! That is absolutely incredible. All those sounds being made live means that the corps doing the choreography and the guard doing their tosses have to actually listen in very carefully since there will be small variations in the timings of those sounds each show. 

    Now that’s the definition of hidden difficulty! 

    Hopefully they have someone with a broom cleaning up any glass shards that may escape the tub they’re throwing cups in 

    Pheww! really difficult show... so incredible impressive.

    Check out the new BD 360 episode that on YT. It explains the transition into Natural Woman, and introducing another character, which is the guy behind the counter in the painting. Basically a Soldier who is coming back from war, see's a woman, falls in love with her, than the smooth criminal character comes in and fights the soldier, trying to take the woman from him. I keep saying this show has a 2015 feel to it. Standby for a late season push from BD. Will SCV win? Maybe. But you best believe BD will make them earn it. 

    yeah thanks i will check it out. i did figure that part out looking closely over last weekend, the part where the guy coming from war and falls in love with the woman then there's a fight broke out over the women...  but i didn't know it was the smooth criminal who fights the soldier

    Just watched BD's run from Broken Arrow on YT. I am really starting to get excited. This show is slowly coming together. 

    Ya.. saw it too and your right it's coming together very well. I like it more and more each week. What I didn't see though is the changes they have made to the opener as I was told ealier up in this thread. So I assumed they probably saving it for this weekend competition.

    So in your mind, they’re “dominant” despite not winning consistently? Whatever you say :34_rolling_eyes:

    Dominant in the sense they win that caption the most in comparison when they compete with....... Stating from the statistics here so in YOUR MIND you can put it any which way you feel you want to. I done make that statement and sticking by it, even when you bring a chart wont change my view. And yes whatever I say.. comprehende'  lol. Ok let me be now.

    I wouldn't say anything is in the bag. BD isn't incredibly far ahead in visual. Neither is SCV super ahead in music. It's gonna be very close for the next few weeks.

    I disagree. Yet BD have been dominating Visuals since the start of the season. So yeah I hold on to my words on that visuals for BD is already in the bag, only gonna get better.

    Looking at the recap I'm really liking where BD is at. They have the most captions with large spreads between Content and Achievement, including a huge GE1 gap (0.5) and Visual Analysis Gap (0.45). My only real concern is brass, hopefully the staff has plans to clean that up and beef up their book a little as they've been lagging in that caption most of the season. 

    Oh yeag! It's a good place for them.overall seeing the work to get done.. these spreads means they have surely been improving more and more, lets hope they work out the music caption and clean it, and beef up the general effect. Visuals is already in the bag not going anywhere.

    It's really going to come down to who cleans up and makes the best changes to their show by the end. Advantage SCV because of that GE spread (0.4) but they're going to need to continue that momentum. I don't see BD letting up on the visual side of things while I don't see SCV letting up on the music side. 

    I definitely agree with this.... its a wild ride right now. Anthing can happen with these three.. consistency going to play a big part for Scv to mentain this streak to finals or else.. BD is coming and Bloo right there too.

    This will be like any other week for them during the season tours. They all know the competition is now equal and they have a big impact on that. SCV for now is the front runner and it will be great to see what comes of it. But it's nice to see what will happen in the next few weeks. Reminds me of 2015.

    It sure is, uh... sadly i didn't follow through the process 2015 to see how this year compares, but i know they really had competition and i remember them getting second a couple times, even i was thinking it was gonna be a Carolina crown 2nd win that year, in which they would have deserved it, if it had went that way, boy was i wrong and felt the energy of the BD kids rising through finals and earning that gold, it was one of my favorite finals because of the story for BD. That experience only add more dept and strength to the organization and will carry that lesson over to this year. seeing the show is taking the entire season to come together. i am really having good time just watching.... curiosity sometimes kills me, but i remember it's the blue devils.

    I wonder what this week will be like for The Blue Devils. Heading to Sanantonio and having won last night so closely to Bluecoats, will we see any more addition and layering or changes ???. I think they could work a little more on the general effects . Three incredible shows oozing general effects would love if BD get a boost in that caption compare to SCV and BC. The energy they brought was electrifying and do look like the firce BD I know. They really competed so strongly with what they have finish so far. Visual is not  problem for them so staying on top of that caption is very easy for them even though this show is particularly more challenging. I have to admit they are having mic issues, sometimes sounds coming from the mic in places with solos seem to be on when not to and sometimes interupts the flow a little.

    Tomorrow they compete against SCV lets see how that goes.  Otherwise they are improving faster than any other corps it's amazing watch.. like wow! They are dangerous with this level of improvements weekly.

    Any thoughts anyone on this week BD ?

    Carolina Crown 2018

    I think Crown has tried to follow the Devil's path, sacrificing drill for staging and shoehorning concepts where they don't fit. For instance, Beiber in a Tempest show that had nothing to do with the Tempest, K-pop in a cluttered storybook show, whatever the heck last year was.

     While this has worked for BD, the lack of drill demand and cohesive theme is penalized on the east coast.  I miss the Crown of 2012 -2017.

    Ironically, the Devils have a challenging show this year, and they are scoring relatively poorly.  

    So maybe I don't know what I am talking about.

    Dont blame BD for crowns hit and misses. BD have the most cohesive shows in history with details whether you understand them or not. though their shows seems disjoint at almost every start of the season, gets fleshed out through out the course of the season, completed by finals. Crown is an Awesome corp, I normally love their shows inspite few created choices I may not like, and that includes BD too and many other corps. Crown knows how to rise by finals so lets see how they handle the challenges a head of them and what they face now. All the top six are challenge in different and intense way this year than few years back because they all have great shows and tge competition between themselves are firced. CC, BD, BC, BOC, SCV, CAV
