ajlemm Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 It's nice to see another corps be looked at as a contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Since about last night's show or so, I'm starting to hear some more disappointing comments about the Bluecoats' show. I've been hearing opinions such as the show seems more like a novelty now, there isn't enough demand in this year's books (especially brass and colorguard), the visual program is very repetitive, etc. Maybe they'll get stuck in this rut for the rest of the season, or maybe they'll improve. But right now, IMO, this is the kind of show that is better appreciated in an indoor setting (i.e. San Antonio, Atlanta, Indy). As a result, I'll hold back my humble opinion of this show until it is seen in one of those settings. Someone thinks the brass book is easy? That's just crazy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that speaks well to any concerns you mention above. Rest assured there are no judges expressing concern about "lack of demand" in the brass and guard books. Hope you get to see it LIVE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfirwin3 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Someone thinks the brass book is easy? That's just crazy! Laughable.It reminds me of the old claims that BD doesn't march. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy... that would be a bummer if they got stuck in a first-place-with-wide-margin rut.Would be terribly unfortunate indeed... 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Still hoping for a Bloo title this year; won't make any bold predictions or start a ridiculous thread about whose a lock for whatever. Could you imagine if they just quit keeping score ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absynthknight Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 No show til Friday. Wonder if they'll be up to anything new. :) Hoping they connect the quarter pipes into half pipes and do some crazy X Games tricks on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 360's 720s or 1080s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian Sam Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I just wanna hear em play. That brass line is very talented, and the writing is brilliant, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
