It's coming down to the wire & they're not getting rewarded in content or achievement for this book. They have very little time off to make any major changes (lots of shows & long trips). At this point, do you leave the book alone & hope to be rewarded or make a change to reduce the risk? if it's not clean, you shouldn't get credit just cause you tried. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their content scores are higher than their achievement scores. If they achieved better and had more dynamic contract in the show the content would go even higher but with their content scores where they are there won't be much that can change it this season. They have .3 difference between the 2 sub-captions. BD was 2nd in content and 5th in achievement so they either had a bad night or also have plenty of room to clean before finals. Everyone else is a lot closer in their gaps between the sub-captions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin’s one of the best in the business and knows better than anyone the situation and how to deal with it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffe77 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I find the recaps fascinating. SCV scoring 4th in brass is interesting, especially with the lack of movement. We should not be surprised that BD caught Bloo. They had more to clean up vs Bloo. Now with BD slotted last tomorrow with this momentum, huge advantage. Could new Bloo ending perhaps factor into tonight's score? Boston recap reminds me of BD 1991, 1st in Brass and 8th in percussion, BAC 2019 1st in guard and 8th in percussion. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't play it clean now some things just will never get there. I just watched a YT video for them from the lot somewhere and and I heard some blown attacks on rim shots. Some really thick fivelets thrown in there. They cooking along at close to 200 BPM and it isn't easy to drum well at that tempo with any sort of difficulty in the book. What they are trying to do is a whole different animal than what SCV and BD do in their writing style. Boston probably has the hardest battery book in all of DCI. Waaaay too much overplaying and too many notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone else mentioned BD '91 as well, and that immediately came to mind for me too. Edited July 27, 2019 by dcsnare93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ballsy to be doing what they are doing with 10 snares. I am thrilled to see a 10 Man snare line again. BITD in the late 1970's and early 1980's, 10 snares was the norm, with a few exceptions...Madison, SCV, PR, marched 12, & 27th & freelancers marched 11. I'm sure that I missed a few.

They absolutely know what they are doing, but they are in an interesting quandary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
