    Posting this just so we can keep track: as full as we can assemble a list of previous-championship shout-outs in this year's show. I'm writing down as many as I can identify (which is definitely not near all of them), and will add others as people point them out (and will actually update them, unlike the vanishing Uniform Database updater).

    1976: Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor cadence to open
    1977:
    1979: La Suerte de Los Tontos in the opener
    1980: La Suerte
    1982:
    1986:
    1994:
    1996:
    1997:
    1999:
    2003: Blue Rondo a La Turk snippet in the opener
    2007:
    2009:
    2010: Mirrors on the stairs
    2012: visibly hanging jackets under the stairs
    2014: that brass feature in the closer
    2015: does the use of Rihanna here count as a shout-out to the Kpop section?

    Also: can anyone identify what the feature right after "Blue Rondo" is in the above video? It sounds incredibly familiar, but I can't place it.

    Thanks for this

    I have never been one to post in a BD thread but I have to say, I am on the bandwagon this year.  I am moved by the tradition, the talent, the execution, the commitment to excellence - it all made sense to me this year when I saw Metamorph, live, in Hillsboro, Oregon.  

    I am a loyal drum corps fan through and through and BD captured me this year.  You will have my devotion now and forever.

    I don't know what the final placements will be but I enjoy this show about as much as I've enjoyed ANY show since I became a fan in 2010 - and that is saying a lot.

    Thank you very much for pushing the activity as you have for SO many years.

    Welcome to 60 years of excellence! We Welcome you to the family of Devils lol. on this side of the force, you will to wear your skins thicken like titanium shield, because the hate will snare you and fly like wild arrows. we maintain our composure. we keep it classy. lol

    WOW!.. looooooovvvvveeeee that closer, it transcend me into another dimension, the emotional hight of it is unreal with that music. its like movie with that climaxed at the end. the future of BD is brighter than ever before. for those who can't understand why it's scoring so high, need to transcend on another level to understand why. BD get this kind of quotes almost  every year, " Bd show is amazing but why its scoring so high, and bla bla bla". maaayn sit down and enjoy the show! lol...ha. :bluedevil:

    Just watched the performance from last night on YT, i love it! its shaping up so good.there seem to be a lot more than we see in the practice run on YT and i agree with the ballad park and bark section, leave the body movement out, just do the swaying, swinging and gyrate lol. but the impact was still "Out of this world! " Lol :laughing:

    Boy that "Can Cadets Medal" thread is off the hook. Between that and the SCV Conundum thread accusing judges of being on the BD payroll, which by the way no one has still brought a shred of evidence to the table that this is happening, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. These performers should feel honored that they can make a bunch of adults cry and whine like this lol.

    Lol... it relly is something. The best will always be the best. When your the standard then all the unecessary hate and criticism will come at you hard. No worries over them. BD will always exist, always have the success it does (unless something drastic changes that), and always will be BD whether you like them or not. BD is the one corp and organizations that transforms through every era successfully and still dominant. Yes they have gotten challenges throughout history but they atill pull through to be the best. Look at cavies through the 2000s, BD still is BD and still was pushed to become even greater! People seem to foeget the nature of this corp how well they transition from time to time. The vast diverse levels of shows is truly remarkable. Fans can say dustastefull and horrible things as much as they want at the end of the day, they are still not the judges. This is why DCI have a judging system consist of expert judges, because if it was left up to the fans to be the judges, just look at how chaotic and confusing it would have gotten. Thats why there is an official system, that rewards all the kids and the activity for hard work and great talent. I give my crtique on many corps but in a constructive and respectful way. And I must say Cadets been getting it bad too from many and I dont appreciate the level of down talk they have gotten. Cadets situation is way much different than BD but no matter what we should be mindful of the kids involved when we decide to sound off our thoughts and points of view on them. Lets critique if we must but do it with encouragements to balance it out for them to be better.

    Anyway this thread is about Cadets. personally i believe the show have absolute potential to medal, the ingredients are there but it will be tough and a hard fight to get into top 3. i get to see little of it and actually like it. kudos to the awesome guards they are are one of the best group .
