MikeRapp Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I know, and I'm not suggesting that BD winning every single year is good for the activity. But that's clearly not the case, they aren't invincible. So what is supposed to happen? Award corps the gold over BD for the sake of keeping the fans happy? Idk about others, but if a corps is out designing and outperforming other corps, they deserve the gold. Just my opinion. Couldn't agree more, may the best show win. Just think it is good for the activity to have more than one style defining the idiom. That's not a slight to Blue Devils any more than it was to Cavaliers and Cadets when they were dominating the medals. The margin between the top three competitors will be very slim this year. All things being equal, barring a tie, I hope Bluecoats win the gold if only because they have completely redefined what a drum corps show is. That, to me, is worth rewarding, and especially when the crowd reactions have been so overwhelming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedrick Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thankfully no more ties! Bluecoats are going to win because they have the most innovative design and because they perform their package the best of the top 5 - Para Celebrar!!! https://youtu.be/l9rr5TvDwew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmettomello Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It looks like the ramps are getting another set of gradient stickers to the front facade, per the corps' snapchat. The pic was in black and white. Would be interesting if they changed the color, but I doubt they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just watched Legends in OC finals. They're like Bluecoats adorable little brother. Don't miss that show. That is some FUN stuff. Not the same corps from those early webcasts. And back to your Bloo programming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very happy they are climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellojay84 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That's obviously sarcasm. It would not be good for ANY corps to win the next 20 championships. Look at how many people are frustrated with what they've been winning recently. If a bunch of the score is based upon design, having the same champion each year with the same design would get stale for the activity. Just my thought though. ....it's already stale... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
