I didn’t get that vibe. It was their own.
I’m sure you’re right. I just saw the opener with the weird pants uniforms.

Well, I missed almost all if that. Family stuff. Did BAC channeling SCV 2018 work out?

Very nice and well executed for this first night out. As always, and at least for me, it’s over-propped with little added value.
Some nice things to watch, really. I’m surprised how that compared to Phantom and Crossmen.

Are there more props than mms?

Hey, I like that bookend formation.

OH! Hello yellow flags! They're plain so they might be practice silks but I hope the ones they'll use (if not these) pop like that because that was an impact moment.
I hope they keep all those simple bold colors.

Rough, but I’m digging the bold colors.

How is the visual looking? C'mon Phantom!!
I think it’s nice. The sound is distracting and diminishing the whole show for me.

Can anyone comment on whether there is a good crowd there tonight?
-
20 pages and no show yet. Think folks are excited?

Compared to Avers, dominos, PizzaX and Bucceto's it's a 4 star affair.
It was a PizzaX manager who told me they don't care what it tastes like, Just get crap on the crust and get it out the door.
I was annoyed by all the burger comments a while back. Now I am doing the same thing with pizza.

I see DCI in the same way. Why does there have to be an understandable and easily comprehended theme? Isn't good music and visuals good enough to entertain? If it is easily understandable whatever "story" is occurring, then great, but is it really the end of the world if you can't understand?
I agree and like how you said this. There is much in DCI that I don't understand as well as others understand, especially all the music selections and nuances. That doesn't prevent me from just enjoying entertaining shows. Maybe my comment about inaccessibility was more accurately saying I'm usually just annoyed by the hype and - what to me seems like needless - posturing around a lot of the themes. Just play and march (or run and dance) and thrill me.

Do you scoff at a painting or sculpture in a museum because you don't understand it?
Sometimes, yes. You're making a good point to think about, but inaccessibility isn't a requirement for good art.

No more Mother Bears?
It's still here. I mostly agree with @jjeffeory, however. The pizza selection isn't as wonderful as you might think. But it might make sense from the perspective of marketing to college kids: The emphasis is on cheap and speed more than quality.

I lived in Japan for several years. There (and then) people brought all kinds of food to theaters for movies. Worst was udon and ramen noodles. So much slurping!

That'll just give me room to put my feet up since I'm right behind in row 20 🙂
Too bad I won't be there. I've met a few DCPers at shows and it's always satisfying.
Tell folks you bought the tickets and keep that space wide open or your feet.

I won't make the show tonight. Seats are open, section 106, row 19, seats 1 and 2.

Here’s my wild guess:
1. Bluecoats: 71.9
2. Cavaliers: 71.4
3. Boston Crusaders: 70.9
4. Phantom Regiment: 67.8
5. Blue Stars: 67.1
6. Crossmen: 65.4
Cavies will struggle to reach 11th starting with that score. 😀

Watching The Academy on rebroadcast. Shows keep incorporating those singles or pairs acting stuff out on the field. It does nothing for me. Except maybe distract.
But since this thing keeps appearing, I guess others must like it and it has impact on scores?

Can the two forums be combined?

Love the simple field set up. I can see a corps out there.
