Honestly, Bluecoats were the only corps I was entertained by tonight. They were the only corps that was fresh and exciting. Absolutely love the 2019 Bluecoats! I was a bit surprised how close Crown and Boston were to Bluecoats. I thought Bluecoats were on a different level tonight. Agree 100%. I was actually a little bored by everyone else. BTW - if Boston’s show is about the underdog as they say, shouldn’t it be titled David? And not Goliath. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dans Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Kudos to the Bluecoats design staff...pure genius! They are on a different level. Absolutely love this show! The only show tonight that was actually interesting and entertaining and it didn't feel like a rehash of tired old ideas. Shows like this are the only reason I still follow this activity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Throwing in my two cents before I read other comments. Bluecoats first was no surprise and the style of show was not a surprise. To me, they tend to go in two year patterns where their shows are more similar than dissimilar. As much as I enjoyed the show, I’m not sure it will pack the punch last year’s show did. I would like “I Want You/She’s so Heavy” to have the same power and energy it had tonight but be a bit crisper. This show will be a crowd pleaser and may eat these words later in the season. Crown: the brass is powerful, no question, and the show even at this early stage seems more cohesive than last year, or at least I think it is more cohesive. I thought this was the poorest filmed show of the night. Lots of close ups of marching members, which for me blocked out what was happening visually. “Gabriel’s Oboe” was amazing. Boston Crusaders: expected 2nd, loved the show. I did not see the jitters with BAC I saw with three corps that preceded them and can see a great deal of potential in the show. I’ve learned not to judge any corps but especially Boston Crusaders, in June. However, this is easily the strongest BAC I have ever seen and the most ready for the season. Cadets: good show, but very jittery. There were certain areas I thought they handled well, namely moving the props which I would imagine is tricky. I expect “Bridge” to pack a punch as the season progresses. Blue Stars show was interesting, but most years there is a clear Blue Stars moment, not sure I could detect it tonight. Phantom: hard to wrap up in a few lines what I want to say. It is much better than many detractors predicted, but parts were woefully under rehearsed. While it depends on what Spirit, Academy. Crossmen, and Colts bring to the field, I don’t expect Phantom will lose ground, but I don’t see them gaining ground either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any of their music. BC's show was very memorable. Not exactly how music is judged lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited about the potential of Crown's show this year, and I can't wait to see Bluecoats. So bummed they are not going to be on Flo Sunday night. But, all I'm thinking about right now is BAC's guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
