Tummygoat Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If the Blue Devils stay in fourth tonight (highly unlikely), they won't win Saturday. This will have to be the most intense performance they give all summer and I imagine they'll be rewarded for it. Were they ever even third at any point this season? That's just a huge shock.

chadwick Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm certainly not a 'tween' but I'll be disappointed if BD takes it this year. I just quite frankly don't see how this program/performance isn't placing fourth (or even 5th behind SCV) even without a penalty. While I think the brass sounds amazing and the percussion near the top, I don't think their guard is 1st or 2nd and the GE and overall difficulty just isn't there for me. I really can't stand the kpop segment (there really is nothing difficult about the choreography here IMO) and the guard just has minimal unison work as compared to the rest of the top 4 or 5. The storytelling aspect of it comes across as cheesy and again, takes performers away from difficult equipment work far too much of the show as compared to the rest of the top 5. The field is very cluttered and their classic/impressive use of props we have come to associate them with over the past few years just isn't there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Coffey Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 No. I don't think they have been third since 2006 finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry_l Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think they will finish 4th tonight and 4th Saturday night. I won't agree with it, but that's what I'm expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris ncsu Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) So BD is out for blood because of the penalty. Coats are out for blood because of coming so close to untied 3rd place. Crown is out for blood because they can taste gold. Cadets are out for blood because they know they've sort of just received two gifts--going on next to last for two nights and managing to barely stay ahead of Coats (and memories of last year). Well that predicts a lot... Edited August 7, 2015 by chris ncsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogitom Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think they beat the Cadets tonight, but not Crown or BD. And that would be a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
