squarepush Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Here’s a hot take. If I’m wrong, then I’ll know where to kiss it. We’ll see in the coming days. Of course I know every corps is wanting to take the utmost precautions with health guidelines. But if I were a cheeky little designer, I’d probably say do a standstill… keep everyone safe. When they’re really just rehearsing for an updated closer that’s just not quite there yet. Maybe not the most ethical way of withholding information, but am I terrible person for saying I wouldn’t be surprised? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only disadvantages a corps to have less reads on their show by judges, especially those that will be present championship weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, given the very competitive nature of.. really the entire top 12 this year, NOT taking time off to edit and keep up is just as detrimental. With that I’m thinking of crown, although crown may just not have as much to offer as the others. It seems like a sears catalogue show buy it and build it and it’s done. Whereas Bluecoats I can give them the benefit of the doubt to believe they likely really DO have something more to offer. edit: ALSO, given that the bluecoats sort of set the precedent for gatekeeping show details, names, unis, you name it. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they were harmlessly “pulling our leg” Edited July 28, 2022 by squarepush 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt much has changed on that front. The Top 5 is very competitive and I don’t think Bloo wants to get hard slotted before a final ending is put on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bluecoats really do have a championship show, it has it all. There are just too many other corps doing what they do too maybe just a little better this way or that way. It doesn’t mean that truly any of the top 5 don’t have gold material. It is because of this chaos I think BC is trying to definitely regroup. Like I said they have a champion show, but it’s not agreeing to the sheets. I also don’t mean to say my “theory” is because bluecoats are so insecure about placements and this and that. I just think they didn’t get the reaction they expected (score wise) and are DEFINITELY tweaking it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This the the week we often see a lot of changes/adds ... I bet the show we see Friday night from Bloo will have some new surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unethical to gauge and adapt the revealing of a show design updates at all, especially when it benefits member safety. It's not about the scores. There's no shame in providing the audience with a class-act stand still while keeping your cards close. Screw the judges. It's about the MM creative progression. The anticipation for a show design reveal is SO F'N FUN it's unreal. Besides why throw in updates in rainy weather? Double the risk? No thanks.

I’m glad they are being such good sports about it. I gotta say, “Playing a keytar in front of a picture of Dale Earnhardt” is the best comment I have read on twitter in a long time. #brilliant 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
