Boss Anova

Congratulations Phantom Regiment. Love the show !

Such a great night of Drum Corps ... the audience seemed into it.... and corps really sparkled tonight!

History tonight Boston Crusaders.... and who knows.... not done yet. What a cool show, entertaining and you are performing the heck out of it.

Terrific show and performance Bloo . The show is perfectly designed for a football field and visually Bloo effectively utilizes the entire field in their show design for much of it . So many Corps have terrific ballads this season , and Bloo is one of them .

There is just so many great things going on in the Crusaders show that it’s hard to take it all in they are so wonderful . Seemed like a great run tonight to me . But I’m not there , so who knows . What a cool and great show Boston has this season , and their performers look like they are having fun and performing the heck out of it . Bravo !

Crown 2024 still has a nice sound and the ballad is a good one . Guard is very good as well. Lots of nuance and subtlety in this show and their performance execution from the talented performers I still believe will ultimately keep them ahead of the surging Phantom Regiment . Time will tell however .

Enjoying everyone tonight . Glad the weather seems to be cooperating too.

This sounds like a very very enthusiastic and supportive audience on Flo and the Corps seem to be responding with good runs . That seemed like a good run by Mandarins as well . .

Agree . I see/hear solid improvement from them tonite . That seemed like a nice run for them .

Pretty sure Liahona on here is going They’ll no doubt be others .

Agree . Like you , unsure if the Guard is excluded in the Visual Proficiency judge’s assessment of the performance . If the Guard is mostly excluded , then the 5th place in VP makes an ever so slight sense . But if the Guard is included , then 5th place in VP , while the Guard is 1st in both Content and achievement ( Guard is a visual , non musical section of a Corps ) remains perplexing . But, these things tend to work themselves out over the course of the season , and I trust the collective wisdom of the judges . In the end , the overall scores and placements tend to be about right , imo .

Both have a content subcaption as well as an achievement subcaption . So I really did not mix them up .

The Visual Proficiency caption has a content subcaption ( how much demand is in the drill ) and an achievement sub caption ( ie, how well you perform the drill ). The Crusaders were 5th in both content and achievement of their drill in their performance this San Antonio Regional. Ironically, the Crusaders were 1st in Guard this show, that likewise has a content and achievement sub captions component. Unless I'm mistaken ( If I'm wrong on this, I apologize ), the 40+ member Guard is not excluded from the Visual Proficiency assessment of their performance by the VP judge, whereby just the battery in percussion and the brass only are being assessed in content and achievement. If this is true, then it is a bit perplexing how the Corps was 5th in Visual Proficiency, but 1st in Guard. Nevertheless, I agree with you that this judge should be given the benefit of the doubt ( he's an experienced, well trained judge ), and accept the assessment, learn from it, work harder in practice in this area, and move forward with even more determination to impress the judges .
