My favorite thing about BD even since highschool when I was watching on ESPN has been their percussion and this show is probably the coolest percussion showcase of all time. Oh yes, LOVE this show. One of my favorites from them over the past 2 decades heh. I'm hoping they go back to something like this sometime down the road. So FULL of energy and just a joy to listen to EVERY time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylistically completely different from anything BD has ever done. Just because you call it jazz doesn’t make it all the same! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afd Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It todays Drum corp if you beat BD...you're DCI Champs. SCV will probably win and they deserve it if they do. But they put their staff together just to do that. I know a few SCV alums and they were tired of years not beating BD. And one thing about SCV alums they have a voice.

Since we are talking all-time, you absolutely have to include Wayne Downey and Jerry Seawright. Maybe 3 things-the very good musicians that the Devils have been blessed with and nurtured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdValvesAreForWimps Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 What makes a good show for the Blue Devils? The first three digits of the year start with 1, 9, and 8, respectfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
