Well...I get to claim the notion that I'm not surprised. But that's because I saw it coming as early as February. It has been pleasant though. Those men are playing their hearts out... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sensitivity to talk referencing people as objects that can be bought, stolen, paid for, etc. So you don't watch ESPN then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It is a mistake to push the panic button on the BAC percussion scores. Scores are opinions by the judges on any given night and we as spectators have no special knowledge of what the judges are hearing. Here's what I know: Boston has an incredible drum line with a great group of hard working members and a percussion staff with multiple rings in their pedigree. They are family and we BAC alumni will support them unconditionally as they prepare for finals. Period. Eat 'em Up, Boston! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On online forums (especially sports reddits involving the NBA or NFL where there are lots of Celtics or Pats fans) I tend to find that Boston fans are the first ones to jump to civil war era insults. Quite an interesting phenomena considering the modern day reputation of the city. Edited August 5, 2019 by Cappybara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonians are passionate people- even when it comes to aggressive driving OR shoveling their car out of a parking space from a big snowstorm and then thinking they own that parking space from here to kingdom come. 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reality is the percussion scores will keep them from placing higher than 6th. Not the kids fault, but certainly some bad decisions by high priced staff - go with 10 snares, write a book that's insanely difficult, not set them up for success with staging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not aggressive drivers. New Yorkers are aggressive maniacs. New Jersey has its share too as does Connecticut, but when you look at the license plates it’s a car from New York. 🚔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
