Boston is very good and Cadets are catching fire. Agree and disagree. I thought last night was the best of the three Boston area performances for Bloo, though friends thought Lawrence was the best even though Bloo scored better in Lynn and Cranston. While I thought it was a great night and each corps had a better technical show, each corps did show some signs of fatigue which is understandable: three shows, three nights, all day practice, heat. However, for Bloo there were no amplification issues regarding the vocalist. Both solos came across perfectly which could be why I thought they had a better run. I was also sitting pretty close to the field, and you get a different perspective higher up. However, if you are correct about saying Bloo did not have it’s best run, that’s not a comfort for BD, SCV, and Crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is very good and Cadets are catching fire. Everyone needs to remember that the closer scores get to 100, the tighter the scores have to get. It’s the nature of the system. If you get to the mid-80s and you see gaps of more than 1.5 points, it becomes very difficult to overtake the corps ahead of you. The gaps will close, but the relative placements tend to stick. It’s just the nature of how DCI scoring works, like it or not. Edited July 4, 2018 by MikeRapp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston was a great corps that year...2nd to the Troopers at VFW's. 69 BAC was still my favorite of that era though. 69 Mad Plaid Kiltie juniors were awesome too. Won VFW that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I do think the relative placements between Crown, Boston and Cavaliers will be really tight. In the end I think Crown will win out and finish fourth, but only because no one will overtake their brass caption. Crown's show is thee weakest of the three conceptually, but they will continue to layer and add new things. They desperately need a new ending that ties this thing together, not sure it's gonna happen. Of the three, Boston has the most legs. They are the strongest overall of the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parades all day long today yet to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
