Fans these days are just going soft. Back in my day, we didn’t let little things like medical emergencies stop us from going to a show. These are not “real” drum corps fans! Obviously kidding. Hope all is well.

High cam is nice, but in some venues, it is too high. The Devils is in the details.

They showed a few seconds of the tap shoe segment, not the entire feature.

It is time for corps to send a rep to the Flo booth to tell them what to show. Missing the major features like the tap shoe section is a big loss for home viewers trying to enjoy the whole show.

The Park and Blowcoats

It would be an incredible year for drum corps. Imagine a DCI Finals with 4 or 5 corps BETTER than the current Blue Devils in both show design and performance.

Actually, they don’t. DCI is still focused on the fans in the stands. That is how the shows will continue to be designed, including mic placement. The streaming platform needs to figure out how to adjust/improve to better their product...and I say that as someone who has to rely on Flo for late season shows most years (maybe not this year).

FFS. Let them REPEAT first before you start talking about a threepeat.

I've been listening to the source music all week. What a great rep to work with.

Rumors and Reddit...Does anyone really think the e-mail would have gone out without a formal announcement of some sort by the SCV organization? They seem far too professional to let something like that to happen.

Almost always. Patrick Seidling posted today that due to construction activity at the Colts training facility, they cannot allow any visitors for today's and tomorrow's rehearsals. Only members and instructors are allowed on site. Note: This is not the Blue Devils' decision but the Colts management decision.

So, your complaint isn't with the performers, you just claim that they don't deserve the scores they are getting or don't deserve to win when they do. Yeah, how could anyone think that would affect the performers.

So, if BD wins, you suddenly don't/didn't enjoy watching all of the other shows any more? If BD improves execution beyond SCV by finals, you'll STILL be upset if the better performed show wins? I just don't get it. If all that matters to you is that BD doesn't win...ever...you might as well stop following the activity. It is going to happen more often than not, based on recent history. It is comments like this that kind of make me WANT BD to win, just to see all of the heads explode here that night (BoyWonder, Contrafart, etc.). Lighten up and just enjoy the shows. They are all really great if you can just get that chip off your shoulder.

Wayne Downey? He didn't arrange the brass book this year. Try to keep up.

They'll all be together in a few days. THAT will be an interesting show.

Why.

It would make more sense for show sponsors to simply designate the allowable warmup areas for their shows. Do this, and the problem goes away completely (or penalties are assessed).

Let? That is kind of up to the Mandarins.

Cavies took guard. Blue Devils cleaned up the rest.

3-4 points? The only time Bloo and Cavies have been at the same show was the tour premier. Bloo 70.3. Cavies 69.35.

Yowza, yowza, yowza!

Roku premium connected via HMDI to the stereo. It doesn't freeze up like the old laptop to TV did.

The music is the Blue Devils show is a perfect match to the painting their show is based on. You can almost hear it when you look at the picture. The guard this year is incredible. That said, SCV looks fantastic, too. Something tells me there is more than meets the eye under those clunky white uniforms. There is nothing better than seeing the Blue Devils and the Vanguard duke it out for a championship. This year may not only depend on winning caption, but by how much in each. A big spread in one caption could be the difference between 1 and 2. What a great season.

Dental school? Okay, now you're on my list. Just had my wisdom teeth out. All of you dentists can burn in hell. ;)

A few thoughts: 1) phew...all is right in the world again for BD fans. 2) Where is Treefiddy who was declaring the season over last night and assuring us that SCV and SCVC would both win it all? 3) Slotting...or something...
