Grandpa Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) BD with perfect scores in 6 subcaptions.... is that a record? How can anyone be perfect in any subcaption? EDIT - before someone tries to explain it for me, that was a rhetorical question. Edited August 12, 2012 by Grandpa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Fixed it for you! Thanks for being positive, though! Good thoughts! LOL! Thanks, as you are 100% correct, sir! Crossmen did a FANTASTIC job this year, and I bet they have some GREAT back stories on "never give up." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamMan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hannum is well out of the game, his last decent work was 1993 Star... but its not just the arranger, its Crown's instructional staff... How about Madison's work last year. Also, Thom's best stuff comes when he arranges both drumline AND pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post socalcontra Posted August 12, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2012 I haven't been on all season because of the hatred I've heard regarding this years Blue Devils' show. I've waited for this moment to come and I knew they would win from the start. Yes, Crown, Phantom and even the Cadets and SCV had great shows this season-but not as great as the Blue Devils. Yes, I'm bias-but that's to be expected. I also liked Madison's show this season because it was, well-Madison (highly entertaining). I don't expect people to come out and say they like the Blue Devils this season because the show has no drum corps appeal to the average fan. You simply aren't going to listen to the mp3 of the corps' performance and like it because it's not -that- kind of drum corps show. I marched in '82 and people LOVED the show-and many still do. Those of the 2012 Blue Devils are probably not going to hear how people loved the show-but again, I don't honestly think they care. They won and they were crowned the champions by the judges-so blame them and not the kids, they're the experts. If you feel cheated that they didn't play a "Blue Devils" kind of show this season-that's something you can take up with their design staff. They were the Blue Devils and they did what they had to do-be the best they were supposed to be. Agree or not-they are this year's champions and deserve the respect for obtaining that placement. I may or may not be back to read the positives and/or the negatives of the post-why bother, either you agree or disagree-that's entirely up to you. I am very proud they won like we did 30 years ago. Congratulations to the 2012 Blue Devils! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommeee Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hannum is well out of the game, his last decent work was 1993 Star... but its not just the arranger, its Crown's instructional staff... I have to say that I disagree about Hannum being out of his game. Crown drums were ON FIRE last weekend when I saw them live. And they got the credit for it in the scores, too. There are a lot of similarities between Star 93 and Crown 12 where percussion in concerned. What they played this year is extremely tough for most people to grasp (the performers, the fans, and the judges). That being said, Devils percussion was off-the-charts awesome on Thursday and Friday. (I didn't see anything tonight, so I can't comment on it.)

NR_Ohiobando Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) This is the first time Spirit and Crossmen have been in the same Finals since like... 2003? Good for them, especially considering both histories with each other. Edited August 12, 2012 by NR_Ohiobando 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
