Michael Boo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Boring Perhaps, but have you never been captivated by something that others found less than intriguing? And did they make a point to publicly tell you so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 = 75% of my conversations last tour T_T You know; I could never understand why the guys on my corps bus could never get into caring about Frank Lloyd Wright's groundbreaking use of cantilevers. It seemed such a logical topic to explore as we drove outside of Pittsburgh, just an hour or two away from Fallingwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIfan90 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The real trend is that BD has never not won after missing a three-peat. BD will win 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The real trend is that BD has never not won after missing a three-peat. BD will win 2012. We heard from some that BD always won in years that ended in "6." Trends are made to be broken. But I believe BD will continue to be in the thick of contenders for many years to come.

Pat61 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) President Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. President Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln. They were both assassinated in Fords too. Ford's Theater and a Ford Car. So I heard anyway. Haha Edited January 3, 2012 by Pat61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Suggesting that BD dominance is a function of the level of performer they get is shortsighted. Is it a component? Of course. But they are consistent because of uniform excellence in design. They keep their design team together, reward them for their efforts and are fortunate enough to have those that feel organizational goals outweigh personal interest. There's no "one person" magic bullet as PR09 can attest to...it's a design staff that works together and is open to others input. It's the best kind of creative environment, built on multiple sources of talent. Some years, it's this designer and next year is that designer, some years the music is the center of gravity, some years the visual...in either case they get behind the concept and work together to wring out every idea. And perhaps most importantly...are willing (as a group) to change or remove components of the design that don't work (and they do this early). As I have said, I have personally witnessed a member on the field (literally on the field) present an idea and seen it worked in and kept. But yes, Brasso....they are bleeding talent from other corps...this is true..but that's NOT the only reason for their consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
