Ok -- Who DIDN'T read John's text in Brandt Crocker's voice?

Yes -- I'm late to the party, it's early, and I haven't had my coffee.

So far, five corps opening in the 70's.  I still think there's a chance the 90 plateau may have another member or two.

BD show is......wow. Opener is refreshing. Really liked the rifle feature as a complement to the insane brass book. As others have said, second half of show needs work, but overall it's an outstanding show. 

SCV going all in with the brass book is great to see. Really strong show. Drumline top notch as expected. Red Team is always a fan favorite but they usually fall short of medal contention. That might very well change this year.

Only have to make around 4 points to do that to both corps. I wonder how BK will fare against Boston? I can't wait to see them live!

Comparing scores across different shows? That's a paddling

I find it funny cause if SCV or any corps beat BD by 1.7 points, we would be hyping it up as the beat down of all beat downs. And no i am not hating on SCV. Yes i bleed blue all the way, but i am a Cali kid and i want to see a 1999 all over again with the west coast dominating 1-2. And SCV's opener is sick!!!!

That's fair, but i'm just excited at how close SCV's music analysis is, with the idea that the Brass score will catch up once they clean. Same with VP. Obviously not to say BD won't also get more clean, but hopefully the gap between the two shrinks over the next few weeks. 

With how much hype ive been hearing from BD camp about how their show is a champion and will blow you away, scv being so close in the GE captions is encouraging. Even if scv doesn't close the gap overall, keeping pace should reward scv with a medal.

Going by just the video I saw, I liked everything about BDs show except the trombones. I hate the way BD uses them. I think the stair props are a little bit reminiscent of Bloos slides from last year in how they were moved and positioned, not so much by the way they were used. I just wish they weren't white.

I seem to like BD every other year and this is a good one for me.

There was a tear or two. Don't expect them to stay down for too long
