In reality, most of the Bloo alumni really don't give a rats ### about scoring, that's mostly the Bloo fans that get excited about that part. All we care about is how entertaining the show is for the crowd. It's been that way for years before I marched, and it will probably be that way for years to come. True. But who doesn't really like beating the Yankees every now and then! Go Blooooo!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defeldus2 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Can't fathom any world in which Bloo beats BD in music tonight. Bloo have a lot of issues syncing their odd time stuff and their soloists are not on the same level as BD's, and it should impact a lot with both shows leaning so heavily on them.

Yeah, that extra beat makes the audience "feel" like somethings off. It works in close quarters, but on the field, with the percussion 50 ft. away, maybe not so much.

oldbandguy Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Maybe it depends on your vantage point...what I'm hearing tonight I find no issues with "syncing their odd time stuff." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superOOk Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Bloo won Music Analysis, which is a step up and they won drums again. Randy Isoda had Bloo first in the Repertoire GE2 sub caption but down .3 in the Performance sub. And Bloo was first in the Content sub for Visual Performance though down .3 in Achievement. That all sounds like BD was cleaner tonight. Setting up for a VERY INTERESTING finish. Edited July 18, 2017 by superOOk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo's soloists were much better than BD's tonight. Did you watch the shows? It wasn't even close. Bloo was ON FIRE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, congrats to both corps, they are putting on the cream of the crop this year! Huh? I think both corps have plenty of "GE" not sure I could actually pinpoint which corps has more than the other honestly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think both Bloo and BD have incredible GE. I disagree with those who think BD's GE is somehow inferior to Bluecoats or anyone else. I think BD's GE may be the best in DCI at this point. Seems the judges agree. Going to be a great dogfight all the way to Indy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a fun couple weeks ahead. Edited July 18, 2017 by mboogey73 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
