MikeBD Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sounds like BD had a heckuva run tonight. Anyone have video of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Old Corps Guy Posted August 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I wanted to take a moment to tell all you BD fans it was a true pleasure to host the corps over the past two days. We had over 500 people in the stands on Monday evening for rehearsal. Many people in the crowd came up to me and expressed how much they really loved the show this year. From the throw-back solos in the beginning (Seawright-mania), to the amazing work of the drumline (WTG ScoJo), to a brass line that just brings it and a guard that tells a great story with phenomenal work. For the parents, we did what we could to make their stay enjoyable. We even had our boosters give the cook staff a break by providing a "homemade" snack (Peach Crisp & Ice Cream) for the corps on Monday night. This is the third time we have hosted BD and our students learn so much about what it takes to put on a show with hard work and determination at every rehearsal. Our band camp actually started on the same day the corps arrived and the students got to see what it takes up close and personal. Looking forward to seeing everyone again this weekend at Allentown. I will have my tail-gate set up across from the HAM-FAM and look forward to seeing all you fans. Stop by and if you mention my name here on DCP, you get a dog and a beer.

My Blue Devil actually posted a photo of his plate full of snack on his Instagram. Looks like he took more than one serving of each item. Well done, sir! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having marched more than a few years ago, I remember all too well that serving size is a relative term.

NakedEye Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Looks like more changes to the ending. Butterflies and flags are increasingly flooding the field. Maybe more horn drill there too? You can tell the guard has been working hard on angles and checkpoints. Much, much cleaner than a few days ago during Bumblebee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The men in flagline now run stage left instead of stage right, and move more overall while performing their work; the wing line now extends in front of the corps. You can tell from some of the dirt that some new counts were added here and there. I like it! I bet it'll keep changing. Also a great view of the ballad feature in this vid! Still an absolute sucker for the swaying at 6:40. Just such a perfectly evocative bit of phrasing to bring out the alto part in the music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow they've realllyyy cleaned up that humongous rotating rectangle at the end of bumblebee. Almost felliniesque level clean in that specific spot. That's some hard stuff and they're going to be rewarded handsomely for it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
