Can you at least ask nicely? Jeez.

Love the closer silk!

As I'm watching this show... this corps has improved design-wise in all areas relative to those shows I mentioned. But improvement in guard design might be the most stark. They have a ways to go to be in the conversation with the top groups, but the guard designers and teachers deserve tremendous kudos.

Yell OSHA instead of SUTA

Here's a fun exercise... watch Regiment 2016-2019, then watch 2024. Watch 2016, the most bizarrely paced drum corps show on the planet. Watch 2017, the horniest voiceovers you can imagine. Watch 2018, but then you'll forget it immediately. Watch 2019, an interesting concept that fell flat in most every way. Then watch 2024, and journal about it.

I wasn't into his 2013 Blue Stars book, but otherwise I thought his stuff was solid there. The dude is the ensemble guy with BD, so he clearly knows his stuff. But his Cavies 2.0 isn't working.

That the show is improving is EXCLUSIVELY due to the membership. I appreciate their efforts tremendously. (this is what I said for Phantom Regiment 2016-2019)

Also, why were Cavies given 45 minutes for that show? Or did it just feel ike it?

DickSauce has lost a step (a six-to-five step)

I keep dumping on Cavies. Sorry. Whoever designed the operation of these props needs to watch some top 12 drum corps.

I've enjoyed them - unique way to do this to allow more people to enjoy them in person. The French influence on art and music is incredible. Lot of ticking during the live dancing, however.

At a minimum, there's a 4 in "finalist in 2024"
