Lead Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Clara contracted a wolf to eat one of the guard members. She knows things now, many wonderful things, that she hadn't known before... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 2. I'm willing to bet BD sneakily marched 149 people all season without anyone realizing until Prelims. As I said in the Prelims thread on Thursday night: "So Blue Devils have been marching just 149 people all season before tonight and nobody here noticed? Tsk, tsk."

garfield Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Actually, they marched 149 with Clara because they were marching two holes. And what's with the "EVEN Blue Devils wouldn't..."? Ya' see, this is why BD fans tend to get defensive. One has to really think about the words and their meanings before making comments. I've mis-spoken myself and been reminded to put my brain in gear before typing words that may be mischaracterized. I'm absolutely positive that BD took wonderful care of Clara and her parents. Why would anyone think differently? Edited August 10, 2015 by garfield 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dan Detweiler Posted August 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) You know it's interesting...like I am sure is the case with all drum corps, I, and all of the Blue Devil Alumni, have accepted this little girl into our hearts as a family member along with all the Blue Devil members this year. That's what drum corps people do. I KNOW she was dotted on, menacingly protected, and loved as a little sister would be in any family. After all, she already was in the BD family as a C corps member. We in this activity all take these family ties seriously. Through all of this experience over the last week, so many people have been blinded by their personal hatred that they forget to stop and realize what their comments might be doing to a 10 year old little girl who might, and I'm sure will, read them. What about what this girls character represented in their show. The wonder and amazement we all felt when we were exposed to this activity for the first time. The unbridled joy of performance. Isn't that what ALL of us experienced at one time? I think this little 10 year old uncovered all the years and decades and layer upon layer of competitive angst and reduced it all down to what we came to this activity for. I think that is the most powerful message that could be sent...this year and any year that I can remember. Kudos to the Blue Devils...Kudos to Scott Chandler...Kudos to my new little sister Clara...Kudos to everyone else in the activity that were able to see the world through a child's eyes once again.

cixelsyd Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 As far as I know, Blue Devils were marching 148 people prior to the addition of Clara. It is not unusual to see healthy corps fielding 148 or 149, rather than the exact maximum 150 allowable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btown50 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I could be wrong, but I think BD had 39 CG members before they added Clara. Once Clara was added, it was 40 (20 girls and 20 guys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I hear that as a reward for them both Dave Gibbs is funding a night on the town for Cappybara and Clara, a match made in one of those Risking Absurdity threads, ha, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I expect you to be honest and just come out right and say that you think BD's championship is illegitimate because you think they were over the member limit. But rather than do that, you stick to the tried and true DCP formula of spouting conjecture to stir #### up without a single shred of evidence. Edit: this thread is dumb. Close it.
