Big Bird Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If playing the hardest brass book won gold medals, Crown would have more than one. I’m not too worried about the Bluecoats book yet. I’m sure they’ll add more to it throughout the season. If it’s the same in San Antonio then I’d worry more about them playing it safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to be patient and wait until head-to-head competition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if that's the singular focus. THE competitive strategy is to attempt to dominate as many areas as possible. The only drumcorps that really plays that game (always has) is BD. Bluecoats are a solid drumcorps, but apart from their risks in show design, they are fairly safe in most areas, most of the time (compared to the field of contenders). For Crown, Brass isn't enough because it isn't everything (while it certainly isn't 'nothing'). But if they pick up one more area, they are in a great position. So it goes with Bluecoats. Bluecoats are a GE powerhouse. But they also only have a single championship. You have got to have more than that, or at least a solid second place across the board with at least 1 dominated caption. So, playing the hardest brass book well, plus only a little more everywhere else does win a championship.

SuperSaderFan Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I was at the show, happy to have the activity competing again. Many thanks to the corps at the Premier for being out on the field in 2021, let us celebrate the return together. As for the show, I enjoyed it and believe the fans did as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very true.^^ Bluecoats have also carved out such a niche in their show design 2019, 2021, and 2022 seasons. Kind of like SCV it seems like the same show over and over again. They also don't take as many risks yes. Especially in exposed moments IMO compared to BD, but that is just my opinion. They are a fabulous corps though and if they win I probably won't take an issue.
