  1. Last year's percussion was beating Bloo and others up until the week before Indy. I do agree that this years' is the best line since 2009 though, but Crown's placement could very well come down to how well percussion can hang in their top 3 spot and how high guard can climb.
  2. Indi is my favorite trip of the year, because Gencon and DCI are back to back
  3. They're not getting credit because they're not clean. Their intro to the opener is seriously sloppy almost every night.
  4. Last nights guard scores were some of the wonkiest and least logical I've ever seen across the board.
  5. Don't put much stock in tonight's guard placement, really. They're the weak link right now but the demand is there and regardless of judging or a bad run, I would put money on them ending up much higher. Other than that, we're in an extremely competitive position and the rest of the season is looking mighty fine across the board.
  6. Crown guard got hosed like I've never seen. Yeah, they're repeating a caption win this year, but jesus that was not an 8th place run or design. That said, it bodes extremely well for Crown's future if they have an 8th place sub and still take 3rd and within a point of 1st.
  7. Oh boy, the resident anti-Crown trolls are in here. Like clockwork, with the same exact comments every show thread. Get bent.
  8. not a single post has criticized the performers, but the design decisions.
  9. Cadets could do with a lot lighter touch in every facet of design, but I think that's a given at this point.
  10. I love this part of BK's show. Great dynamics and those releases so tight.
  11. High hopes for a great show across the board tonight. Excited to see how the top twelve shapes up and especially the top 4. I expect some shakeups tonight.
  12. I think placements stay the same as Broken Arrow but 1-4 spread gets even tighter. Would love to be wrong and see SCV overtake BD, but don't think it happens yet. BD take GE Crown takes brass and music SCV take visual and percussion Bloo not winning a caption will keep them out of top 3 tonight, despite being in the 2-3 range in a few
  13. Someone asked for an explanation of the show this year and this is how I explained it: This is a mix of spending some time with Crown this year, reading what the design staff wrote, and my own interpretation. On the surface, it's a simple concept about deconstructing a typical drum corps show both musically and visually. They literally move the field lines, rip rifles in half, raise parts of field, and go from a very traditional orchestral piece to a feel good ballad to a contemporary esoteric piece. The ending though, is about proving that no matter how much things change, it's still drum corps and still recognizable and should be appreciated. It's a commentary on pushing the art form and how everything that makes drum corps great is still recognizable. "I know you!" signals a return to the classic music and big impact but the field has been ripped apart, showing that the two (old and new) can coincide and produce worthy art and entertainment. The final ending will push this idea even more with the reappearance of the traditional Crown form and use of props.
  14. What are you talking about micing the brass?
  15. Crown in 4th visual prof is interesting. Great job percussion. GE was a 2nd/4th split, which lands them 3rd but still in striking distance. Feeling good about the rest of the season.
  16. Neweditor and myself called it! BD will hold their lead until at least Atlanta. SCV is the wildcard and hungry, especially with this momentum. Crown has to keep pushing and refining their show. Bloo has to get cleaner if they want to stay in the hunt. BK got robbed, they outperformed Cadets tonight across the board. Great show tonight!
  17. People criticizing the balance aren't listening live. Don't judge it based on the terrible stream audio. They've blended it very well.
