jmc5682 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 BD has improved so much since I saw them at Stanford. I can only imagine what more is coming. I was on the fence about their show, but now it has some clarity and continuity. The guard needs to clean some things up, and percussion has had some rough moments, but the beautiful sound coming from their horn line this year is exquisite. I cannot wait to see the final product at Finals. I love that SCV is back in the hunt this year. Nothing would make me happier than a one two finish with BD being number one. If that switches and BD lands at 2 and SCV gets the gold I will certainly not be mad about it! Go BD! Go SCV! Go get em Mandarins! California all the way! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshClements403 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've been doing photography for several corps this year and I've had the privilege of being on the field for BD at every show between Oregon and Denver so let me just say that this show might be my favorite drum corps show ever. Standing on the field 5 feet away from the brassline during that ballad is easily the best musical experience of my life. Don't care where they place (although #18 looks likely) this show is amazing and it's been great seeing it from a totally unique view. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Program is about 85% now...I think we'll see that up to 95% by Atlanta, then some minor tweaks and the frosting on the cake (the REAL ending) installed in Buffalo. Can't wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait! The real ending better have Clara in it! She helped put BD over the top in 2015. She deserves to be apart of this anniversary. Anyone know if she is marching BDC this year? I say bring her back in this years closer and give her a rifle toss. Heck if little Geoffrey from the Cadets can do it, she certainly can!
