The Romantics - Blue Devils 2024
Box5Opinion replied to Box5Opinion's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
If the show title is correct "The Romantics", I'm thinking of a mish mash of Jazz music that embodies love-romance, maybe a reprise of "When a man loves a woman" / artist of the Romantic era (Scott Chandler icon love of incorporating artist into the show) and done a Blue Devil way. AND with some type of Japanese anime music. 😜 -

Blue Devils in the Details 2023
Box5Opinion replied to DWW11's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
BD are maxing out those score sheets with less than a week left of tour. What an incredible and entertaining show. Well thought out, designed to highlight every section, the music works so well, props done extremely well and the everyone is performing at a high standard. Kudos to the designers (for thinking up this show) and staff (for teaching and cleaning work). Congrats on a great year. -

Shout out to Mandarins, especially PC for a great performance in Utah! BD had their dirtiest (drill and guard) show to date and still earned a 87 hmmmmm! The closer needs attention ASAP!!! Lots to clean and make pop! Show is still coming in HOT!!!!! -
Everything's Coming Up Rose Bowl (July 8, 2023)
Box5Opinion replied to brassboy's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
BD presented a master class in the use of color, movement and elevating the art of performance. 2023 BD is gunning for top percussion and colorguard and GE captions and the show is designed to showcase those section. I can only imagine how the show will develop, last night score of 84 was too low for what was presented on the field. Blue Devils coming in HOT!!!! -
Drums Across the Desert - July 3, 2023
Box5Opinion replied to skevinp's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Mandarins show is really coming along, what a great performance tonight! Blue Devils continue to dominate all captions (watch the spread of Content and Achievement to get smaller as the season progresses). Color guard needs to clean, clean and clean some more. Already in the 80s after three shows - at this rate, the judges will need to give BD a score of 106 by finals night! 😉 -
DCI Corps at the Crest - San Diego 2023
Box5Opinion replied to spacewill's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
My take of tonight's Vista show World Class: The Academy - not your typical Academy show, has potential and will be a good vehicle for them this year. Pacific Crest - one of the stronger PC corps, can move up the ranks from previous years. Mandarins - JUST WOW! This show has so much potential. My concern are the moving props - I hope no one falls off or gets hit (will cause major damage if that happens). Great musical selections, the costumes work and they just need to clean, clean and clean some more. Blue Devils - YIKES-in a good way! Strong brass, percussion and guard! Execution is not a problem but content might be as the season progresses. Henry Matisse inspired show with so many props and color on the field, to me translated to Bikini Bottom, a SpongeBob visually inspired palette. Highlight musically is Both Side Now, but if anyone can clean and make a masterpiece out of anything it's the Blue Devils. They need to edit, clean, edit, clean, edit, clean and edit some more.- 431 replies

Could this be another 1995?
Box5Opinion replied to Reed's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Nope, not going to happen. Blue Devils are quite strong in the GE and Visual caption area this year. Will it be a clean sweep? I don't think so, but they have THE best show (and are performing at a high level). Probably one of the better designed and thought out shows this year. They have a vision, with music, design and really perform to the score sheets, to earn top high marks. Awesome job Blue Devils!!!
