This is too tempting not to note the opening of some poster(s) comment about BD's park and bark and marching not mattering. But alas, their backward marching front on the oblique was phenomenal, their opener memorable, and their changes matching SCV doing the segmented front falling behind then catching up and the Bloo jumping up and down like a pep band of Cameron Crazies. Funny how BD added those layers as the season progressed and then beat both SCV and Bloo. But I'll be an 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the beginning, it had been that way since June. So that wasn't ever a change. LOL.

His dad auditioned for BD at their December camp in 1980 and did great. Alas, his ride from Orange County at the time had to back out and his parents (who didn't know a thing about drum corps yet) weren't about to let their just-licensed 16 year old kid drive by himself to Concord. Mr. Downey was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) SCV is really challenging BD now. The silver medalists don't seem content to allow the diablos to abscond with the Godfather and Festo Italiano from the Felliniesque show. With the national and local debates about Christopher Columbus statues staying or coming down throughout the country of late, SCV is forging ahead with the avant garde counter-cultural. Will Chicago style wars between the "families" put the Paramus, NJ area Badda-bing set on notice as well? And you thought it was just a parade call... https://www.scvanguard.org/italian-heritage-parade/?utm_source=EVanguardian&utm_campaign=02edaa982d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_08_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_644990ee35-02edaa982d-104732957 Edited August 29, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
