Man I cant help but think that strategically they should've held onto this new ending until closer to the end of the year.
Seems like they want to run the table and stay unbeaten the whole year. Unveiling it now leaves them vulnerable for finals week In case BD has something else up their sleeve.
This is actually later than they've added their ending in recent years (the new ending was in for San Antonio in 2017 and 2018).

She lives by a school. It’s always the same. People buy homes by schools and are surprised when school things happen there. Or they buy a house by the airport and then complain that airplanes are taking off from there.
I bought my house by neither a school or an airport. But I do live by a ramp to I-88. I knew there would be highway traffic noise. I have no grounds to complain
If you live by an airport you know there will be noise from the planes. That doesn't mean you'd be cool with them taxi-ing through your flowerbed.

Looks like BD did a partial uniform run. Start off with shakos and long coats, but take them off about a 1/3 of the way through the show.

After absolutely loving 2014-17, I never quite fell in love with Session 44 last year, so I've honestly been trying to temper my expectations for this year's show,. But you guys are sucking me in.

This small small part of PR's uniform looks not terrible (from https://twitter.com/PhantomRegiment).

I completely agree - the Cascades were the "dog" of the show - but they were entertaining and high quality.
I noticed a number of corps hyping during live performances. It's bad show. Any corps doing that does deserve criticism in my opinion.
Yup, could clearly hear Cavies doing it during Crown, then BD doing it during Cavies. They were also in clear view of the stands, in a place where they would definitely know they'd be heard.

I know it’s been covered already, but this event was a logistical nightmare:
-Huge parking lines (literally waited half an hour in line) then when lots filled up, they didn’t know where to direct you to.
-Hundreds of folks in will call line long after the event started
-Hooooo boy, the seating clusterf***. Basically they labeled the seats with stickers, but did it reverse from what was listed on the DCI site. So my 50 yard line seat I bought back in December was now on the 35.
In the end it didn’t ruin my experience, but I missed the first two corps and missed out on the “dream seats” I’d been looking forward to for months. Whoever organized this needs to not be in charge next year. Lake Highlands was a dream compared to Mesquite.

I'm just talking in the sheer size of the Allen stadium. Makes all other high school stadiums I've ever seen look like peewee football stadiums. Lmao.
While the Allen Stadium has a lot of amenities, Mesquite’s is actually bigger (20,000 capacity).

Got my tickets. No seats were available so I’ll just have to slum it in the bleachers. Worth it to see the top 5 in person though. :-)
Absolutely! A pretty killer lineup. Basically took last year's and subbed out Cadets/Crossmen for SCV and Phantom.

Judging from the Weather Channel forecast, it’s going to be another scorcher.
Yep, but high of 104 is a welcome change from 108/109 from last week. Should be down in the 90s by showtime, potentially with some cloud cover.

Would it kill you to play soft?
I'm now envisioning a situation similar to the movie Speed where bombs were planted on the instruments of corps members and playing less than forte would literally kill them. The title of this movie?

So glad they moved this show to Mesquite this year. In addition to being a much better parking situation, Mesquite Memorial is a big facility upgrade over Lake Highlands in Dallas.

Badly do I need tickets to this.
Gonna try to snag some from the box office right at 3 PM. Hopefully there's something decent left...
The stand is broken into sections 1-8, and I can tell you that sections 3-6 are sold out (or at least were listed as such online yesterday). Not that seats farther out can't still provide good views, but just giving you some info.

I saw the Saro video a few days ago on reddit, and it has been stuck in my head the past few days. VERY excited to see how this takes shape on the field, could be at the top for my favorite ballad this summer! I like Crown's "If I Fell" and hope that it will grow a lot this summer, can't wait to hear what cavies do with "Vanishing Act" too, but this will be a definite contender! The last ballad I loved from Bluecoats was back in 2010.
Extremely triggered by the assertion that someone did not love Hymn of Acxiom

Same. I used to always seek out the "press box" seats, but as corps move away from more traditional drill design to staging and individual dance/facial performance, there is so much of the show that you are missing if you are up at the top of the stands. Plus getting your face blown off never gets old.
