  1. For many this will be the last note or step they ever perform. For some reason I’m in my feels tonight, I remember my last time and the feeling that I would give anything for just one more moment. If we can’t agree on anything, we can agree that when you realize it’s all over it is a heartbreaking moment. God love the marching arts!
  2. The one thing I wish for these kids is the full retreat we had at every show during my years. It was the one time we got to hang with other corps during sept up. You got to see that we were all going through the same summer struggles and relate to everyone from the top to the bottom. I met so many great people in those days from so many different corps and have so many memories from the times we were all setting up for retreat. I hate they don’t get to experience that every night they perform.
  3. Although I’m ok with seeming some of the old guard retiring from the activity, we have to show them the gratitude they deserve. Did I think he lost control of the ball sometimes…yes. Especially during the SA scandals. But Dan has managed to bring DCI through its toughest times. It’ll be hard to replace someone with his experience.
  4. I don’t see BD breaking their Fellinisque record. I see a high 98 or low 99. But they continue to deliver on every level. I can only say that the top 4 were incredible all season. The talent level of the entire dci community is far beyond what it was when I marched in the earlier 2000’s. What this KIDS are asked to do night in and night out is just incredible and astounding. The fact that the activity has come back stronger than ever is a testament to music education and DCI in the United States. The thousands of teachers, performers, parents, and support staff to keep this all going in the hardest times is a true testament to the wonderful lessons and love this activity has created throughout the years. We should not soon forget that this could all be gone in a blink of an eye. I’m so happy I got to spend my summer watching DCI again!!
  5. The design decision to have almost all the big and small colorguard moments to be facing flat front in unison has really payed off for bd this year. Ensemble rifle, saber, and flag really highlightes their range and talent. The were spot on tonight as usual.
  6. I appreciate that devils turned down the guitar, it doesn’t seem as obtrusive tonight.
  7. I’d love to see boston move up to 2nd, but I have a feeling bloos design will punch them over the edge to another silver medal.
  8. Bloos design team continues to prove they are one of the best around. Taking a 500 year old poem and utilizing it such a modem way is so cool. I wasn’t a huge fan of this show at the beginning but like always they won me over by the end of the season.
  9. This doesn’t really seem as solid musically as it did last night…
  10. I just love Bluecoats guard this year, so sophisticated and dynamic! And the uniforms really help them stand out on high cam.
  11. Ok….as much as I love the USA DCI competition. I’ve spent a couple of years watching the Japanese and other Asian band groups, both indoor and outdoor marching band and dc groups that could be involved in the arena. And I have to wonder… if DCI is truly an international arena, where would these groups place. They are incredible!! Although they are hard to find online, it’s no doubt when you do find them online to watch, you will agree that they are incredible. I hope it’s only a matter of time that they join the international competition . DCI means international, so when will it be truly international…
  12. I believe they will keep it and see where the number fall. They have enough in other captions to compete for other trophies. It doesn’t take every caption award to bring home the win. But you never know until the last note. I think it shows a very healthy activity to wonder where all the individual captions will end up at finals.
  13. I think come finals week scores will be adjusted to represent the placement accordingly. Unless the top 4 have unrepresentative performances I doubt we are a 100.00 score. I don’t doubt BD will win in a couple captions and win overall. But, I seen them at 19.8 or 19.9 a best in those captions. Boston and Crown have the best chance a beating them in captions. Cavaliers will likely win percussion unless BD cleans up a lot! Cavaliers perc is just in fire as of late. I could see crown winning horns as well, and all the top 4 will fight for GE. However, I do think this is the best BD show ever….but that’s with a changed needing, Ala 2014. I think nothing will be settled until Saturday night, or Friday for the top 12. And isn’t that the best we can hope for in terms of fans? I’ve followed the activity for many years and I can’t see a year where everything is up for grabs like this year.
  14. Only tho g I have to say is compared to last night is seems the team is more compact and fast compared to the live performances. Crown especially has more breath in their show compared to what is presented on flo, everything feels so much rushed on flo. I obviously don’t know what it is but I can say live there is much more breath and rubato in every show compared to what is presented on flo.
