Maybe they should go back to cement that they had from the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they switched to turf since then. Thought that would fix it. Still grass, but there's now some moisture on the field -- went from 90 when the show started to low 70s now.

Popular Post jwillis35 Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Boy do the Blue Devils command the field. While I love this SCV show (and I get that some will not this year) the big difference between BD and SCV is how fresh the Blue Devils look and sound, even when they do things similar to previous years. Everyone does, of course. Nobody completely reinvents the wheel every year. But the Blue Devils have this way of presenting their show that is just incredible. The body movement in this show is outstanding and fresh. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the uniforms. This alone may put BD over SCV. I don't hate the all-white look on the corps proper with SCV, but they may have to make some adjustments. BD just looks fresh, bright, and professional. The brass book is wonderful and what a warn baritone sound they are achieving this year. SCV brass is really very good too but aside from some nice licks and I do like the music, the BD brass has to produce more in all ranges and at all volumes, not just safe MF volumes. BD Percussion is written so well this year, and I LOVE the pit writing and performing. As with 2019 I think the props in this show look so good and they are incredibly well used. This is another major difference between BD and SCV. Santa Clara props just look cheap and pointless compared to BD. I am afraid someone is going to fall with SCV where I feel BD can use their props so much more artistically. The scary thing is that this show is likely only 50 to 60% of what they still have to add. When this thing cleans...YIKES! Definitely a contender no doubt. If I went off of performance levels in 2019 I'd say only Bluecoats can maybe challenge this. But that is not how it works of course. None of us know how the season will progress, but I think we can say for certain that when this Blue Devils show cleans we are in for a treat and they will DEFINITELY contend.

Nice to see the ABBD crowd is already in mid-season form. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 There’s so much more to be added to the BD production. So much going on you’re not going to absorb it all in one viewing. Strong in all captions and that is consistent with winning championships. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
