Jagged Line for sure. Still cannot believe it didn’t medal.

Whenever corps have to march on tarps, I spend the whole time watching the ###### tarp and stressing about whether any poor kid is gonna trip on it and ruin the show, or worse, their knees. It’s stupid and needless, and designers should just agree there are better ways to tell a story.

Please god no more massive tarps. When will show designers learn?

Really pumped to see this show, mostly because it seems like they have so much room to tell a story in a unique way.

That’s just wrong.

So Bluecoats are doing a Metallica show?!

Nashville?

Bluecoats wants to win medals but they don’t do what they do to win medals.

BD almost always has the most experienced members and the deepest staff talent pool. The fact that they took silver last year while not winning a major caption says it all. They will be the front runner unless Coats pulls off another shocker.

One word: Elsa.

Into the Light will stand as one of the all time great closers for a very long time.

I would say that while some of the changes have been controversial for good reasons, all of them have made the activity bigger and better. I think we are probably too far to the “dance” side for my taste, but it has provided a lot of great opportunities for kids who don’t play an instrument to have great and important roles and experiences.
