When it comes time to really clean, techs should be going to the side for a look. Usually everyone cleans from out front, but a look from the side is the telling tale of who is really marching well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC - Ok, after seeing a more recent recording, they have a really nice product going for them. LOVE their guard work, visuals are pretty nice, would probably enjoy more from front field not back. Can't say much on brass because of being from backfield vantage point, but they sound quite good. Again, absolutely love this darker theme. It seems to be quite fitting for this group to do. Could easily move up to 7th or even 6th, 8th is a minimum. After thst recording I don't really see a chance of them dropping past this unless they somehow just absolutely fall apart. Hope you get a look from the front. There was a video out there from a Boston ST run through from Everett, MA. From out front and I am sure you'd have a very different take on the brass. I'm not sure where you are landing with your prediction though. You had BAC in 11th then 8th saying that would be a minimum placement. But you also said they'd be passed because everyone would be cleaning. So I am a bit confused at this point. Boston through the years, has been known for their finals push, especially last year when it looked like they were missing finals. Hope you audition for them next year. I expect it will be another good year, but also it may be harder to get a contract. For now, enjoy the show and wish them the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 11th was from videos of their movements before the season started. After watching the video of them backfield they seem to have much more high energy and are far more clean than I thought before. I absolutely hope this is a come back year for them, much improved from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
