WarriorWay Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 5 minutes ago, CCond said: Bloo has clean feet, clean brass, a very generally effective show, the pace is better than BD, the transitions are smoother than BD, and it gets the people feeling something that BD’s show doesn’t seem to. Bloo taught us all that warming-over the previous year’s design doesn’t do it for the fans, BD decided to try it anyway. BD is clean, not cleaner. They sound good, not better, their show has good moments, but it doesn’t grab the majority by the shirt and say “listen to me right now” the way that Bloo’s does. It’s a shame it doesn’t click with you (personally I feel like you’re really missing out) , but that’s no reason to discredit what they are achieving here. BD’s concept is way more high brow than Session 44. There is no question. Bloo’s is written well but not better than BD. Bloo’s conceptual narrative isn’t as refined 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD's 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018 shows have lots of visual demand. Last year's didn't, as I see it, and 2015 and 2018 have visually cluttered designs (although they've made some improvements this year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people make comments like this without details, don't be surprised when others push back. If people make comments about BD's visuals consisting **this year** largely of scatter drill, I'm not sure they're paying attention. Lots of genuine drill in BD's program. Yeah the scatter drill comments are weird. There's a great high cam video of BD's show out there if you look for it. They're marching formal drill more than any of the top 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it as a form of intelligent design that down the road MMs would ask their staffs for maximum face time with the audience. Pushing design so that if you don't provide that it costs you, just my take not picking winners or losers. Sometimes I l misinterpret your thought when reading , I reread your comments a couple of times and generally find them insightful! Thanks for clarifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine putting your hard earned on that? Bwahaha! There better a point spread & over under or it's shooting fish in a barrel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant tearing down of other corps to support why you think yours is better (not you specifically, just in general) is just hard to read. I hope I never reach a point where I feel like that is necessary. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenanne_1536 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 4 minutes ago, ContraFart said: What drill? Besides the first 30 seconds and there is no real drill with a few small exceptions. Bloo is doing collapsing boxes at 4 to 5 steps extremely clean Oh yes they are. That's my favorite part of Bloo's show. I honestly think you need to really try to see what BD is doing next time you see them. There is a lot of demand in their visual program. There is. That's why they are being rewarded. Rotating boxes, and fast speeds are definitely very demanding, but there are other things that include demand that don't involve fast rotating boxes. I can tell you, 2017 and 2018 and have been so much more enjoyable for me, since I tossed my hatred for BD away. Not saying you hate them, but for me, I absolutely did, and was angry most of the season. Good to have that out of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
