You know, I’m not digging Crown’s  percussion emoting during that opening statement...dudes, just play the ink like the brass is doing.

Nice touch, but can’t see why any DM on the back side is directing no one for most of the show.

might've been a way for them to keep an injured marcher on tour. I don't know this, but it is a possibility. Sometimes corps get extra people on the podium during the season if they can't march their spots due to injury.

!  those one handed rifle catches on the close up camera.  And the HUGE smile from the one who had to work to save her catch and did so masterfully.

It is the trend.  Many point to the new rules on percussion judges being stuck on the sideline so they 'hide the pit' but I'd say it's probably more an untethering of them to free up front and center for staging features.  Corpsmen did this with the flying show but had to work around the pit the whole time...so the solution is to move the pit now. 

This is one of many big trends started (or at least really pushed) by the 2016 Bluecoats, although I'm not sure any corps will position their pit in such a daring way as they did that year.

How am I just now noticing they lay railroad ties down to make train tracks right at the ballad entry?  

They were in at Stanford. :thumbup:

Maybe we should start calling them Not-exactly-in-the-Front Ensemble.
