I would think the extra rehearsal time would lead to serious improvements across the board. Yeah, I'm also looking forward to some possible revisions on the back end. The first 8.5 minutes have been very effective. The ballad (and the lead in to it) has needed design attention. I agree with you. BAC is competing in fewer shows for less travel time and more rehearsal time. I know some argue you need more judges comments to be competitive, others believe you need more shows to have a competitive edge, but my guess is it will work. Competing in fewer shows has not pleased all fans, as those of us who attended Beanpot will attest to, but if BAC medals, it will probably all be forgotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're doing the same number of competitions as BD and SCV. Can't be a bad thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping whatever additions have been worked on the last couple of days work for them as they continue to build for SA. Apparently you cant say stuff like this because to some people on here its a ###### comment to say a group doesn't have competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All corps are doing fewer shows beginning this summer. This is part of DCI putting the performers well being first. Allows for more down/free time. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a week without an audience and the build up to the show could be detrimental or energizing depending on the night. Routine in performance sometimes helps a run, building on the momentum of the previous night, but also a break in performing could just help get them more juiced for a great run tonight. Depends, and it'll probably be different for each individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
