Big Bird

Didn’t say it will. Said it will make things more interesting. You can predict what judges will do based on what they’ve done all season. J Webb will tank BDs vis scores and the panels are not as favorable for BD going forward. This race will get closer. You are not the expert you profess to be

Yes it will. J Webb will not give BD a fair score

Looking at the panel, this will be a Blue Devils win. gets much more interesting from a judging perspective tomorrow and Saturday

The Crown ballad is the hardest thing put on the field this season. Unreal

Crown fans only know major scales up and down as fast as possible, triple tonguing exercises, and Bb major chords, not their fault just how they’ve been conditioned 😜

Only 2 corps performed full shows in front of judges. Blue Stars, Phantom, and Boston were standstill due to rain

Yeah for all of the talk about judge bias towards BD, the most biased judge in the activity is one who always skews numbers in favor of crown

1. Blue Devils 2. Bluecoats (GE, Visual) 3. Crown (Brass) 4. Boston (Guard) 5. Cadets 6. Mandarins 7. Phantom 8. Cavaliers (Drums) 9. Troopers 10. Colts 11. Blue Stars 12. Blue Knights Blue Devils win while losing every caption solely because of strong 2nd place finishes in everything while the corps around them are more volatile. They will lose one or two of the three nights but this corps knows how to handle big moments and will come out on top. Top 4 all within a half point. A bold prediction? Quite. The most humorous outcome? Definitely. I don’t want to jinx it for the corps currently sitting 2-4 😉

It’s too late, they’re going to move the goal posts and claim that they never said 2 points, only that they’d win in the end.

Blue Devils won only 2 captions, tied another, and their fans will still not accept that they can be conquered this season. This is probably the most competitive season of the activity in over 10 years. Amazing how much has changed in one week.

It is a 4 corps race for 1st Don’t live in denial BD fans. Just embrace it. And if you win, feel all the better about it.

After tonight… you’re right

Maybe not Felliniesque, but the others and Ink, yes. Blue Devils show was designed for the current era. The Boston show just feels dated to me.

I will admit to being somewhat of a crown “hater” for the past few years. But this show has grown on me quite a bit. They’re making all of the right changes which hasn’t been the case since 2017

This Boston show could beat any of the champions from 2010-2015. But we are not in that era. I can’t see them beating the Blue Devils with this show although it’ll undoubtedly be one of my favorites from the season.
