Why are fans so rude and immature?

[LDO]

Let me start out by saying that I liked a few of the shows last night (Saturday). BD was my fave and yes I'm biased because I'm a proud BD parent and I've seen a few rehearsals by now and 2 shows. If you don't like it, that's cool. But why in H do the fans have to boo like that? I know they wanted CC to get it but they didn't so grow up already. Every year there are BD haters, never fails. That is the most disrespectful thing anyone can do. And I guarantee the large majority of those booing fans were GROWN ADULTS! I'm sure you are all aware how hard these kids work. Not just BD, but ALL the corps. If I have one bad thing to say about any show its CC. Out of the 11 1/2 - 12 minutes of the show, how much did the brass play? They spent the first couple minutes dancing towards their horn while a voice over read, what sounded very much, like a bedtime story. Later they proceeded to lay on their stomachs while wiggling their feet. Remember last year during BD's Dada show...how many of you complained about the narration? Raise your hand, come on, don't be shy. I've seen some comments about CC's narration, some bad but mostly good. So, when CC sits there and narrates practically an entire show, it's ok. But if BD does it... OMG that is so ridiculous! The fans are the ridiculous ones here.

And to prove how rude and immature the fans are, you all read about the BBQ that was shared by BD, CC, and SCV. And I bet they all got along like best friends. They cheer each other on because they are walking in each others shoes. And....they are mature.

It appears you have a problem with Crown's brass. Please refer to:

FYI...99% of the booing is directed at the judges. People aren't booing the corps. After all how many boos do you hear at the end of a show?

It's the same philosophy as what happens on the shows on TV like American Idol, Americas Got Talent, the Voice, etc... During a results show, the only boos you ever hear are because of the results themselves, not the performers.

I am consistent in my dislike for voice over.

There are exceptions. Essentially if its limited to pre show.

I wasn't there, and if i was I wouldn't have booed, but here is the thing. And it is a necessary distinction.

Is the booing directed at BD or the judges?

If its directed at BD then thats wrong. They have a job every 25 or so nights a summer, put on the best #### show possible. Can't fault them for doing it.

But being upset at the judges is a better place to aim it. With the apparently now empty promise that fan engagement means something, people are annoyed that a very gifted corps with a show that brings thunderous applause all over yhe country, being second place. I dont think booing is the best way to show disatisfaction with the judges, but i feel its an important distinction.

I really don't think these are regular drum corps fans but rather bado's who go to shows and have no idea HOW TO BEHAVE!!!!!!!

REAL drum corps fans don't do this kind of stuff!

It was mostly kids from what I saw and heard. But what would I know, I was only there in the stadium during scores.

Crown's brass is probably the best line I've ever heard, and they play far more of their show than you're giving them credit for. Seems like your bias is stopping you from appreciating a truly spectacular show.

I don't have a problem with their brass, it would just be nice to hear them play more than they are laying down. Last years CC brass was incredible and I'm seeing something completely different this year.

WOW! So you say. Never said I'm a CC hater, you did. I just gave my opinion of their show as you all are about everyone else's show. So maybe you can get a grip??
