One of my favorite movies. I have the "I drink your milkshake" monologue memorized LOL "DRAAAIIIINNNAAAAGGGEEE"

Agreed. I had a friend working with them this summer, and he said they were really really struggling with keeping up morale. It looks like they found a spark at the right time, and I'm happy to see it! Very good run, they might just make this.

I really really like how this BK show starts out. Love the atmosphere setting and the intensity build to the hit. VERY BK. I love moody pit moments. SCV, BK and Crown do this a lot. The BD Pit opening to Felliniesque was the best executed of this sorta style IMO.

The rain seems to be falling in all the wrong places across the continent given all of the droughts

I had to ask! All I can base 80s-2000s shows off is what I see and hear from a video. The late 80s in drum corps just have an aura to them as I've gathered.

By chance, given you username, did you march 88 Scouts? If so, do you remember a Chris Smith? Mellophone? He was my college Horn professor. Such a friendly and wise teacher!

that would be the success story of the season besides Boston's very intimidating production. Could you imagine a surge to 5th for the Cadets?

I love that so much for her, and I hope she returns if she is able to next summer! Good on you dad/mom for giving her the opportunity to experience such a great sport.

I can't stop listening to Autumn Leaves and Pants I'm so so jealous of everyone that stuck it out to watch them. I'd be ugly crying if I were there.

EVERY corps should bring back marching cymbals 😞

Cadets, Carolina Crown, Blue Stars, Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment

We love ambiguity

friggin rain

There used to be a corps like that. Called the Velvet Knights.

The uniforms they have this year reek of the fabulous couturier Blue Devils uses. It’s a green Blue Devils uniform 😅

and now folks for the icons, the drama, the tech wizards, the royal crown They will win tonight.

Such a nice sight to see the staff and crowd loving that closer

Oof Cadets are just too good.

Right, that should have been done PRE season. I know so many people would want to send in photos of their experiences. It's an amazing idea, I want to see it as well! Just a major whoopie cushion decision.

Vanguard is very good. They catch me at the end. I'm not really wow'd by it other than the very obvious talent across all captions.

Someone mentioned it earlier but it's an absolute joke DCI decided to release an app a week before the season's end

I don't know about this Blue Stars show, but I know there have been members in previous other corps shows that were there specifically to be a prop mover/some guard work here and there. The backflipper in 2018 SCV for example. I know him personally, he said he was a behind the scenes character more than anything for the show.

I think BS has the most mature brass arrangement of the year. I feel the writing is definitely trying to speak to you to convey the story.

I'm overjoyed at the success of Cadets but sometimes I wonder how it's not BS consistently in 6th. This show is just really well done.
