  1. Non-west-coast corps who do the early western tour tend to finish higher at finals
  2. I wish the judging pool were deeper
  3. New rule: when a judge is missing, score provided by DCP poll average
  4. BD sometimes marches half-time because it looks great from up high, not because it’s some sort of cheat. People remember BD standing because BD stands memorably. The performers commit to every detail of a design jam packed with variety… old, new, borrowed, and blue.
  5. General Effect is what Mandarins are doing this year
  6. That was very BD kind of move, Crossmen. Nailed it
  7. SeaWorld is delivering the Shamu tank by San Antonio, and the orca will join tour as soon as she learns the drill and carriage
  8. Spartans - Cadets - Boston are all better this year
  9. That’s one tough as #### show from Boston! When the muscle memory settles in and tempos hit target, the emotional impact is going to be a tsunami
  10. Looking forward to @DrumCorpsRadio’s next rundown
  11. I have no idea, but am curious to see what number the CA judges award
  12. Tonight tests the theory of west coast inflation. 🔬🏄‍♂️⬆️
  13. Depends on how one defines better, I guess. One can argue the activity itself improves each year due to innovations, style updates, and evolving audience/judge expectations. Many top corps age out a high percentage of their most experienced and mature MMs. Maintaining a high achievement level with many new members each year is a huge accomplishment in itself. The competitive landscape also changes yearly. I can’t say whether BD 2019 or 2022 was better. Both were winners and both navigated a different set of challenges to reach the top.
  14. Every season brings surprises. SCV gave us our first big one for 2023. Hope the rest of 2023’s surprises are good.
  15. Been proud of the Cadets being an east coast corps. Erie is almost the midwest. I hope they don’t become a west coast corps in my lifetime!
  16. For anyone alive and striving, there is a white whale to chase. Fair winds and following seas to this edition of BAC.
  17. A zombie apocalypse combined with a nuclear war wouldn’t stop most people from milking a Bingo license. What a waste…
  18. I agree with OP’s theory for determining the tier that a corps will achieve in August. Winning though is always a multi-year effort. BD currently has a better than 2 out of 3 chance of winning on any given year, which is an achievement beyond merely winning.
