Now, to step on a bit of a soap box... last year the Bluecoats pit was lambasted, and in my opinion, blackballed over their pre-show hype at DCI Minnesota that bled onto the field during SCV’s ballad. Did anyone else notice that Blue Devils were hyping it up during SCV’s ballad? Where’s the criticism? posted from the DrumScorps app I completely agree - the Cascades were the "dog" of the show - but they were entertaining and high quality. I noticed a number of corps hyping during live performances. It's bad show. Any corps doing that does deserve criticism in my opinion.

Yup, could clearly hear Cavies doing it during Crown, then BD doing it during Cavies. They were also in clear view of the stands, in a place where they would definitely know they'd be heard.

xandandl Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 where's Tony DiCarlo's squad when you need them? Sometimes even the big boys act like little kids and need to be reminded with a penalty or two. Sportsmanship matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all those corps were doing the same thing to each other, I suspect they were all assigned to be there prior to stepping off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember earlier on this season (late June, early July) there were complaints about being able to hear SCV warming up before stepping off. Someone who was at the show was making a huge deal about it on DCP, until someone else looked into it and found out they were assigned to be there by the show organizers.
