  1. Professional and classy when they win. Petulant and jealous when they lose. Congrats on winning the dance competition.
  2. Hate to say it but this is a corps headed in the wrong direction. They need to clean house, top to bottom. the Jeff Fiedler/David Bertman/Sylvester Sybilski/Michael Gaines combination could possibly be the greatest team in the history of the activity. Obviously it was short lived.
  3. *post removed. Not worth it. congrats to whatever group wins the dance competition tonight
  4. You call it doing it right. I call it the easy way out.
  5. Listen, the “rigged” or “buying off the judges” arguments are absolutely asinine. The two arguments that hold water are 1) BD have a significant financial advantage, and 2) they design shows around the scoresheets.
  6. I think people are getting too wrapped up with “innovation.” No one is talking about demand. It’s no secret BD shows have never been in the upper echelon of musical and physical demand. It was a running joke in the 2000’s that every time BD wanted to play music they would stop marching. that being said, demand across the activity has dropped as a whole. Props taking up field space for drill, prancing instead of marching, etc. thanks Bluecoats.
  7. 1. Hard drill 2. Hard music 3. hard drill and hard music at the same time.
  8. I’m here to tell you my hate for Blue Devils is real. But it’s not about the shows which are a copy of a copy of a copy. I can’t fault them playing the sheets. Some corps choose to push the boundary, they don’t and that’s their prerogative. My hate is from my own interactions with members and staff from that corps. Biggest group of egotistical a**holes I’ve ever met next to bama fans. If BD didn’t make finals for 10 years in a row I’d laugh all the way to the bank.
  9. In terms of demand and innovation, Blue Devils have never “raised the bar.” At no point in their history were they known as the corps who had the hardest drill, or hardest music book. They are rarely ever the crowd favorite. They’ve figured out a way to churn out the same old crap year after year and do it very cleanly. It’s like a conveyor belt at a fish factory. Very efficient but it still smells like fish.
