I really don't want to go count the number of people who said this or that about Bloo's performance, so I'm just going to stop talking about it.

You have prior posts of yours as evidence. That's empirical data. (I feel like you misunderstood my intention)

let's talk about Blue Stars -

good opener but then the ballad bogs down -

need to make some changes with this too long ballad.

Great job on the new closer - Great drill through out and looking clean!

my main problem is with the ballad - it's too darn long -- 

I just don't know how Blue Stars can catch Phantom if they don't somehow rewrite the middle sections of the show.

That's deliberate misinterpretation. What exactly do you think that will gain you?

I know it was a deliberate misinterpretation. That's the point.

If only we were allowed to compare scores between shows. But I hear that it's not possible.

Aren't all of today's scores the draw for San Antonio lineup!

Lets call a spade a spade. Bloo and SCV have issues, as does everyone. BD still incomplete and Crown, cleanest of the 4, getting ready for major changes. It's early, but at least says we have another potential suitor this year in the mix with SCV. It's a great show with lots of potential and when all 4 are finished and clean, it could be anyone's game come championship week. I think SCV has the freshest show to deliver and maybe the hardest overall (not necessarily better) , but they will have to be Crown and BD clean to win it all. We will see soon enough!

It was very different in person. SCV was on fire, and Blooo was so quiet. There had to have been some kind of electronics issue that made the feed sound fine, but it was really underwhelming in person. I have seen Bloo's show a number of times on YouTube and Flo, but in person tonight I missed half the sound.

SCV was raw power tonight and I'm not surprised they won.

I agree there must have been sound problems in the building at TCF - 

I have seen Bluecoats at La Crosse and Mankato this week and they sounded the most quiet tonight - not sure if is just being in a big stadium or if there was something willy wonka  with the electronics - 

SCV out-teched Bloo tonight -

I thought so too. Guess not.

SCV over Bloo by .3/.4. Very interested in seeing where Academy/Troopers/Madison fall. 

Close.

I get to go to this one, and then go into the hospital Monday for lung surgery (third time collapsed lung...not good for a brass player, or anybody interesting in breathing.)

Hopefully all the drum corps thrills won't take any more air out of them!

Yikes. Best wishes for Monday!
