We fans are all winners with amazing shows like this being presented to us! :) I wouldn't be upset if this BD show won either (although it will add to my BD fatigue). In fact if you cut the trombone feature from the closer, it could be one of my top 5 favorite BD shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 One area where I feel Bloo is stumbling is the choreography with the bowlers and suspenders. It doesn't look like they are performing it fluidly and with ease, so it comes off more as a design contrivance. I'm also not clear how well it illustrates the musical style. Whether it not you like the movement that BD is doing, they are performing it with 100% commitment. There is a clear vocabulary of the stutter-steps, rocking back and forth, various arm movements, etc. These repeat throughout the program, fit the music well, and they are really selling them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Scott has built a ton of little ideas throughout the show that refer to drum corps history, and specifically BD history, that I am not privy to. And I would guess most of the crowd wouldn't be, either. There are some amazing moments in this show. AMAZING. The ballad is probably my favorite moment of the season. That's fair! As much as of BD fan I am, I'm not going to pretend that I am getting every reference in this show that some of the older and more experienced fans are seeing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between 1995 and now in terms of design and judging criteria is so vast we might as well be talking Baseball vs. Football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'd love to see Bloo repeat, but my eyes say SCV, and my ears say BD. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Easter eggs are a small percentage of the show. The greatness of the rest stands alone Edited July 16, 2017 by Terri Schehr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleclamb Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Let us not forget that Bloo beat SCV by 0.9 in Rockford and then lost to SCV by 0.1 the next night... one show doesn't decide the season posted from the DrumScorps app 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
