I wondered whether some of the misalignment in the drill was because of differences in NFL vs. High School/College hash marks Am I the only one who got that reference?

I was in Lucas Oil but I get that error about 50% of the time when posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it looks like they had both marked anyways (along with the midpoints from the front sidelines Yes I noticed that both were marked. In prior seasons the corps’ would have performed at other venues (Atlanta, Buffalo) with both sets of hashes before Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have a replacement for the iconic wink at the camera from the 2016 Bluecoats soloist. We now have the Bluecoats member over and over picking his nose on camera and flicking his nasal excrement onto the field. Cracked us up. After your show- I think that I will have a hit off of the bong or drink a really cheap bottle of wine and make a candle holder out of the bottle. Ah the good old days when we were young and beautiful (and did high knee lifts and lots of mark time) Go Blooooooo!!! You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they could bring to the field with Throwers arranging and their visuals and props would fit the music. Honorable mention for a show based on Elton John or Pink Floyd. Sky is the limit for next year on how they innovate. I don't know... 4 out of 5 past shows have been rock and roll shows -- Do they really need to push the envelope? They have proven that they are the best in the game at sound reinforcement - I think they could take what they have sound-wise and go back and try to create something really excellent visually -- the prop intensive, dance focus, run from here to there design is getting kind of cliche. I'm thinking some really precise marching and movement where the focus is not on individuals but on the strength of the whole. Bluecoats have not had a really impressive percussion section over the past few shows -- what has happened there? Why has percussion writing become an afterthought? I can see the judges getting tired of the Bluecoats next year if they remain on current trend. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 A small thing with Bloo that I noticed last night, but maybe this is typical. During the first snare feature, there were a ton of electronics accompaniment going on. Incredibly effective but also detracted from their excellence a bit.

They are aggressive and play with some edge. Enjoyed the Battle Hymn quotes at the end. Yes, great sound and higher energy in all areas than seen or heard in along time. Academy put their show together in 12 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great feeling to see them with identity. This was my best LOS show. Smaller crowd true, but an appreciative enthusiastic. Personally I felt safer in the stadium yesterday than places I frequent on a regular basis. The corps were cranking, no holding back. In my opinion Music City smaller, but their best corps. Phantom being Phantom again. Smaller corps ready to grow now that they have their structure. Thanks to all of the corps for the effort and logistics to be there. Just feel they kept the needed link for the activity. Rindinaro and Potter made it interesting also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
