1. Down side up changed Bluecoats and the activity in so many ways.

Felliniesque and Ink are astounding productions with imo the best books BD has done this decade.

Babylon is a crazy amazing show.

Alright but it changed the activity into this giant complaining group when a uniform is released or electronics get used

Complaining has been the life blood of drum corps since it’s incarnation.

Fully expecting to get smoked for the homer pick, but Felliniesque is the greatest performance i have ever seen live. Not even close. Thanks for playing, God Bless goodnight. 

No way in hell the greatest performance of all time includes Hair flipping, ###### tambourine, and banging on a table.

Crown had better brass, SCV had better percussion, 

Bad Children's theater acting.

Rehashing props for the few previous years. Lawn Chairs and Cloths Racks.

Tilt was a much better show, with a better ballad, a far better ending, and better GE.

Thank you for the response. Have a blessed day and a nice life.

I agree with you here. I omitted some other inflammatory parts of your post.

Here is how I see 1-5 in 2014.

OOTW I think had one of the most amazing brass books of all time and the chops to pull it off...but what was so great about that show other than the brass? Yes I think brass is the most important piece to the puzzle but it's still only one part of the whole and it's about the sum of it's parts. I do think they deserved the Ott.

SCV- one of the best on the field but it was a rehash of another show of theirs and the uniqueness and creativity of the design wasn't there. Maybe, in an alternate universe this show could push for the championship.

Cadets- Championship level corps, poor design.

Bluecoats- definitely a championship level design with one of the best ballads of all time. A great corps but not top tier.

BD- this show is a score sheets dream. Many fans and folks in the drum corps community agree that this is the greatest show of all time.- Whether you or I think so is a moot point. We all like,see, and feel different things. Nobody should mock you for your opinion though.

E=mc2 is better than just the brass. It’s a risky but genius concept, that was both fun and technically awesome both in terms of music and drill. I loved the closer, esp watching it on finals night with the crowd roaring to its feet. It would be a worthy gold medalist in any year.

Tilt went farther than most shows and corps of its kind could ever go. It was one show that truly rode its own success curve all season long. Bluecoats, before Tilt, were a solid second to third tier corps; Tilt put them in the first tier and then DSU rolled the dice to change the power balance for the foreseeable future. Tilt truly was ahead of its time.

Yes and yes 

I was referring to the 5th place Out of this World show specifically not E=mc2. Crown was very deserving of their championship.

And I couldn't have written how I feel about Tilt better than you did above. My point was when you put the show itself aside and just compare 2014 corps Bluecoats weren't quite there yet (top tier) but they did have a whole lot of passion and emotion in performing on their side. Couple that with a world class innovative show design and they get 2nd place. Which is awesome.

As you said Tilt PUT them in the top tier and helped change power/balance. (2000-13 they were GOOD and improving but not too tier). Today's Bluecoats and DCI would be a lot different if Tilt never existed. Given the time table for Bluecoats history I really don't think this show would have been the champion in another year which is the argument some posters are making.
