Not a crowd-based show for sure. The gate turns at 9:00 are worth the price of admission. Wow.https://youtu.be/tJFP_uRvoH0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's Bluecoats show barely marched (stood/sat the whole ballad), demand was hip swaying and 1 forced arch, and only won GE which is based really on the judges. Why is it when Bluecoats win some people complain that they ONLY won GE ignoring the FACT that they also won MUSIC? Maybe it's because Music is also "based really on the judges"??? Congrats to the Blue Devils for their great performance last night!!! At the moment there's two California corps sitting at the top. Been a long time since we could say that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since we could say that. Your Bluecoats are so freaking talented. They are scary good. Looking forward to Monday's matchup of my beloved Devils against Bloo. It's gonna be a dogfight. Bloo is far from finished. My Devils better be ready. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 And I can't wait to see BD live...just wish they'd agree to come to Massillon sometime! We would even be willing to throw a few Bloooooooooos their way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What needs to happen for these two corps to progress upward? Columbians taking second to Battalion was a pretty big shock - they had a really solid show! Battalion sounded great though & had bigger numbers. Regarding OC's drop: Yes, they took .5 dip BUT looking at the recap, there are some good take-aways. Colorguard took 5th - which for OC colorguard is a big accomplishment. They finally held their place in GE but were docked in the visual caption, which is OK because they can clean. Percussion and brass were strong as always - with music 5th overall. Really not a bad night for OC. They are under the radar and maybe that's not such a bad place to be while they continue to tidy things up. The worst part of this though is OC could get a REALLY bad draw for San Antonio.

Been a long time since we could say that. They won music, but didn't place first in any of the music captions. Kudos to them, but there is more to the story.
