henry7184 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ok, some of you need to relax. I think BD will beat Bluecoats in every single sub caption this year. So what? I also think BD is going to three-peat, and win 2 out of the 3 (brass, percussion, guard) and Visual and GE. And, I hate BD! Well, hates a strong word, but I"m bloody sick of 'em. Do you really give two craps about what I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defeldus2 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm just speaking to the headroom I see in each program, not predicting how things will end up. Obviously Bloo's programs have been hitting a sweet spot the past two years, but I want them to push harder. Likewise, Cadets had more demand last year but couldn't clean enough and get GE up to compete, which could be their big issue again this year.

henry7184 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 No. Thank you for at least asking though. Exactly. We are all going to be wrong. I sure as shootin' hope I am (although I don't think I will be, at least in regards to BD winning AGAIN). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyremovingit Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Was at the show tonight. Heatwave seems to on a pretty good start for a young group. Really was impressed with Legends. The design reminded me of something Cavies might do. Not too much to say about Surf. It's a good production. SoA sounded great but the design lacked so much. I don't think Will Pitts understands that just having the hornline play the HARMONY from Georgia on hits is not nearly as effective as using the MELODY. I'm also pretty sure the brass played no more than 10 notes during Can't Help Falling in Love. Boston was real nice and definitely deserved the GE win over Crossmen. I felt like the Crossmen show has great writing and all but I feel like the whole concept they're shooting for falls short. Cadets was amazing. Great sound and great arrangements across the board. Hearing those horns on Pines of Rome is incredible. I felt like there's a huge disconnect between the first two thirds of the show and the last. Maybe it's just my ADHD brain, but I lose a lot of focus on what is even supposed to be going on once the John Mackey piece starts. Coats was on fire. There's so much to their show that bootleg recordings and phone videos can't convey; lots of clever uses of electronics that compliment rather than dominate. I feel like their current ending is gonna get a big update for one of the big later season shows; seems like they left it open for something to surprise. Did Coats have a speaker out tonight, though?? Flugel soloist and trombone ensemble couldn't be heard well during their features as far as I knew. Great night!

NakedEye Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 2nd show in a row Boston beat Crossmen in GE very interesting. I was at the show and would agree with this. Crossmen are currently considerably stronger from a performance standpoint, but Boston's show is much more interesting and there is a lot of potential for them to grow into it. Will have thoughts on the evening tomorrow. Bluecoats deserved the spread and I would have it even bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auldschool Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The BD might go undefeated this year. What are you smokin'??? You are joking right? That's the weakest BD show since 2011. They play well...but the design...so much to change to even medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
