Bluecoats/Blue Devils at last year's finals being among the most heartwarming.
That was so awesome to see!! If there was any year where two corps should have gotten an encore run outside of a tie, it was last year. BD no doubt would have been going bonkers for Bluecoats encore run and vice versa.

So, saw the show. The section in the middle where the sample sound like " I wana donught" seems kind of out of place. There has got to be at least a minuet where all there is samples and drum kit, even the color guard doesn't have equipment. Sorry, loose me there. Love the ballad, you know why, because they actually play the song and give me a melody I can sing on the way out the door, been a while since they did that! Like the way they mic the baritone solo. It is really obvious that when they play harder material they always stand still. It will be interesting if any of the adjudicators will recognize that in comparison to others that do move and play and how they choose to reward? It looks like they don't know what they want at the end, kind of boring, maybe a work in progress.
Drums on ladders, yea so, just because?--rifles on ladders, kind of cool, but what does that have to do with wolves and writing a children's book. Interested in seeing how this plays out. Not sure about the 2 point spread to the other corps, I think they have some issues with transition and focus when they move the props around.
Guard has some talented kids, but they have some young ones too, Lots of drops on the run I saw. Almost all of them move there feet under there tosses. Not a "20" color guard this year---judges! they do like to dance though! Assume the big pipes will become writing utensils at end of show, interested in seeing that prop, can do a lot with them though, they just put the weaker people on them I guess.
my two cents
till next time
Geez I guess BD won't be getting a Standing O from you.

And of course the flip side of this are the Corps that tell us they don't really care if the fans like their artsy fartsy show creation, then they and their acolytes get a case of the vapors when national fans later tell that Corps their show was a yawner, or weird, or what have you. So ya, I suppose there can be hypocrisy evident from time to time with what is said, and then how it really gets real.
Can't argue with anything you said. Very true.

I hope no ones head explodes because Blue Stars passed up Scouts tonight.....
I don't see why they would. I always hear that the Scouts don't give a crap about scores and placements. They just do it for the entertainment of the fans. At least that's what some Scouts fans say.........till scores and placements are announced lol.

As much as i am hoping BD brings home #17 this year, i think this year its all about the Cadets cause of what happened at Finals last year. It was very similar to Finals 2008. And we saw what happened in 2009 when you poke BD's hornets nest. They didn't lose again till 2011. Well last August the sleeping bear that is the Cadets was awakened when Bluecoats went past them. BD runs the yard, but just like BD did in 2009-2010, i think the Cadets will remind everyone they are not to be messed with.

Totally agree. That was a class act by BD no doubt.
