MikeRapp Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 This year it seems very clear they are taking a new approach to the evolution of their show. With down side up, they knew they had the concept totally nailed, so they ran out to a big lead and then held everyone off at the end. Last year, the nature of the drill design was so specific that it made it almost impossible to change throughout the season. Too much follow the leader. And the stage basically ruled out almost any significant change to drill design. This year the show seems to be designed to change and layer as the season moves on. I think it will be hard to beat Bluecoats in GE, and they won’t finish far out of the top spot in any single caption. The only show that I think has a chance to beat them is SCV. I don’t think Cavaliers’ show design is in the same league as the top four, and I don’t think their arrangements are musical enough to beat any of the top four in brass. If Crown evolves their show, especially the last third, they could clean their way to a medal. But I definitely don’t think it will be at Bluecoats’ expense. Could well be BD that gets nipped for the Bronze at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly my take on this season so far, Bloo's drums the only caption leaving the door open for another corp to drop in, and thats a big if because Bloo's drums are playing a very hard book pretty clean in most spots, pit has some crowding/phasing issues......clean clean, clean!

I'd say that would win over the layering discussion of 2015, regardless of what the judges said on a piece of paper. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. “Regardless of what the judges said on a piece of paper” is a very interesting way of trying to reduce and downplay the competitive aspect of this activity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remember screaming crowds far longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
