Crown is getting hurt by it as well because they are running around the field playing way more than others. I really want to see them follow the Bluecoats of 2008 being a 6th place group and slowly knocking down the door to the top. All done in house and pushing the group to greater places. I dunno… To my eyes, Blue Stars this year is definitely more on the “varied, modern approaches to movement” end of the spectrum than the “hardcore moving + playing / traditional” end of the spectrum. I think their movement approach this year has a lot more in common with Blue Devils than, say, Phantom. And I think their show is really good proof that the varied approach is extremely hard! It’s impressive that they’re doing so wonderfully with it! Their scores are keeping them apace with some of the big dogs out there. I don’t see how we can say it’s not being rewarded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Oh that's a nice featurette on the show! Yeah, I caught on early it's not a story of war starting and resolving to peace. Or some characters journey from war to peace. It's a set of snapshots of the simultaneous nature of war and peace and the absurdity of a world that holds both together. It's very in keeping with the Tolstoy. It's a really well crafted show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brians Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I believe there is a battle beginning to brew between Blue Stars and Cadets, just like the last time there was competition/scoring in drum corps. Blue Stars came out on top then, will be interesting to see where things end up this time around. Will be fun to see if there are any ending or other additions to create a final push of excitement. History indicates there will be. Good luck to all. FCO! Edited July 31, 2022 by brians 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as it's not another d**n soft ending. The Blue Stars need to get the crowd on their feet and keep them there with a strong and powerful finish. Soft endings have only given the corps mild applause over the years. This needs to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 We need a members read mean DCI comments like the Bluecoats did. Bulletin board material to keep pushing FCO. "####### ######## they are the most boring corp in the top 12. Have a better show than who?" "Oh my to each their own…absolutely most boring show I ever saw" " that show is a snooze fest" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
