Another poster last night said they apparently warmed up in a hidden spot
They had been practicing at IUPUI just up the street and chose to do brass warmups there Friday and Saturday.

Tears in my eyes a few times during that show. They earned #18 tonight.

I really can't decide between SCV and BD.
could they each run through their show just one more time, please?
One of them will. :)

Isn't that the truth. The haters will be rare form tonight. Suggest BD Nation stay away from the finals thread tonight and seek shelter here lol.
I'll be at the Concord Pavilion watching with a much better crowd than you will find on here. I plan to turn my phone off.

Whatever. If you have something to add to our discussion, add it. Don't be that guy.
Whatever. This is a thread intended to bash BD. Nothing else. To be honest, most of the top corps move and play about the same amount of time. BD just does it better and with more variety. Some, like the OP appear to be ###### that Crown is not winning.

While there have been a few great musical moments as of late, in this culture of ADD Instant Visual Gratification you can forget about any real design focus shifting more toward music-melodic development.
Yep. No melody in the Blue Devils show this year. Nope. None.

Over/Under: That after our beloved Devils bring home 18 tonight..........7 people post that they are done with DCI and they are never giving another penny to DCI blah blah blah lol.
Over/Under: That after our beloved Devils bring home 18 tonight..........4 threads pop up whining about BD winning all the time and/or b******g about BD doesn't move etc......
Over/Under: That after our beloved Devils bring home 18 tonight..........20 people accuse BD of paying off the judges, having them on the payroll with zero proof or evidence that this is happening........so basically they are trying to take the spotlight off of BD by trying to stir up controversy to anyone who is stupid enough to listen to them.
DO IT UP DEVILS!!!!! 18!!!!!!
Over on all of them. Seriously, it has started already.

I must have missed those.... I was watching the horn line stand there.
Maybe we could have one night without a ####### troll making a new account to ##### and whine like a little girl. People like you make we want to see your favorite corps drop a place in finals. #### off!

It doesnt change much for me. I think it will change GE scores quite a bit though.
We already know theyre adding stuff though, so it seems kind of moot talking about this.
Right when Jerry says "The Concord Blue Devils" just have a c Corp kid step through and do the Tug "victory" pose.

Haha you're right, but a little pedantic considering they're being featured as one section
Sure, but when others compare it to the twelve at SCV, 40 > 12. :)

Ask the 1988 Devils if the case is closed...
Ouch. That one hurt.

Since when is having a particular section playing by themselves considered "amplifying a subset of brass players?" I believe that's called a "feature." Unless I'm missing something lol
Actually two sections. There are 40 trumpets in the feature because the Mellos swapped out for trumpets for it also.
-
Brass judge made some big spreads tonight. Most corps at least .3 apart. Only one closer than that.

Has Vanguard gone on last yet in a TOC?
They seem to be getting a short end of the random line up order...
They went on last at the TOC show in Houston.

They've been slotted, the chances of that changing between now and next week are nill, at best. Maybe bloo over taking Crown, but that's about it.
At this point, it is more likely that Cavaliers over take Bloo.

I like the Dance Marathon part.
That part totally reminds me of the finish in 05. I actually looked up the music credits to check.

Why should that 21 seconds matter. How many championships has BD won parking and blowing?
17. Soon to be 18. Suck it up, buttercup.

but its gets to a question of what is harder, doing one impossibly hard thing perfectly, or doing 100,000 simple things perfectly simultaneously?
This is something I have tried to clarify a number of times here. Doing one impossibly hard thing perfectly is amazing and a wonderful accomplishment, BUT it only proves you can do that one thing. Even if you have the greatest talent on the field that can do anything they are asked, you never showed it to the judges or the audience. This is where the variety of skills comes into play. The Blue Devils are well versed in showing off a variety of skills throughout the show. This is where they get a lot of points in the visual caption, even if they don't "march"as many drill sets as others.

That is as much the nature of the Blue Devils family night as anything. The corps had just spent a few hours sitting in the stands watching all of the other performing groups on a cold and windy night. They did a very abbreviated warmup and jumped right into the show. I expect next weekend will look and sound much better after a proper show day prep.
