Patty, Your solo was really bad. In fact the worst I have heard all summer... scratch that... my life Both Jay Z and I hated your auto tune, and in a lot of ways I've never really even liked you as a person. Your facial hair is also really ugly, and your ego is disgusting. jk...kinda you rock go Blue

Total Homer but BLUECOATS

Six Words!

Nope 1) Blue Devils 2) Bluecoats 3) Cavies

My top 5 predictions (why not?) Blue Devils 95.5 Bluecoats 94.6 Cavaliers 93.8 Crown 93.6 Cadets 93.5

LETS GO BLUE! BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[/size]

Totally a "honk," "homer," "fanboy"... whatever But I think it's going to be BLUE this year... and I think they could even pull off a Silver

YUENGLING! Maybe even a Natty Boh, for those of you in the DC/B'more area

I may be a complete "honk" but I do believe that the bluecoats do have a shot at the top 3 this year... maybe even a championship. Looking back on the corp's history, BlueR36, is 100% right about peaking at the right time. In the 3 years I marched with the corps, we were never in the same place at the end of finals that we were in quarters. I'm just glad the show has an "edge" this year. I won't go as far as to say 2009's show "stunk" but I will admit that I haven't liked the attitude of the corps or the theme of the show this much since 2007. I think it gets back to a lot of the controversy on this board. A lot of the "artsy," "cerebral," concepts the bluecoats have tried in the past, just don't appeal to me, and honestly, I don't think as a performer I could get too excited about concepts like 2009. This show seems different (yet familiar) to me. It's the same bluecoats feeling, that was there in 2005 and 2007. It looks like a fun show to perform, and thats where I think it's going to move forward. This is a concept that people can understand, the performers can get excited about, and comes off as entertaining. Not a bunch of crap about some artist just about no one's ever heard of (2009) or some storyline that has to be explained with a microphone and actors (2008). (unfortunately they're still using synth and autotune... maybe we can fix that another season)

LETS GO BLUE GET SOME!

The Bluecoats Tuba/Contra (whatever you want to call them) section is straight ridiculous this year. The book given to them is incredibly meaty, filled with split parts and pedal tones. They're also loud as hell. While I do have some bias toward this line, I still think its pretty apparent that this line is the real deal. Bob Rocks

do you have to ask that question?

regardless, I'll still drink in the lot

nah, that's okay

I'd go with the Troopers I mean aren't Disney movies usually about the underdog making a comeback? I'm pretty sure Troop did that this year, and did pretty well.

Any pics?

I really dug the intergration of the hornline into the solo on a visual level.

I don't know exactly what that's supposed to mean... ...but I'm not suprised you'd chime in with some unwanted quazi-clever quip keep up the good work

to add fuel to the fire... a lot of the bluecoats staff/fmms are helping troop this year...

are the colts out of the picture?

No, it's obvious that Blue has had issues with this judge recently. I'm not saying he's got personal qualms against the corps or anything, but he's obviously not on board with the rest of the judging community as far as the bluecoats are concerned. I'm not saying he's right or he's wrong, I would just like to hear some justification for his scores, especially when so many other judges and the fans disagree. I honestly doubt the Bluecoats put too much stock into what he had to say. a 16 when it's almost August is a slap in the face.

Blue takes the lead tonight ...honk
