Crown guard is reminding me of the Bluecoats guard in 2018. They were crisp and spotless, however demand is what held them back from breaking into the top 2 of BD and Boston. I certainly love Crown’s Sabre work with the streamers attached to them, it’s a wonderful effect. I just don’t see them approaching the complexity of BD and Boston… this year at least. But hey, crazier things have happened. At San Antonio a couple years ago Phantom was 4th in guard and like a week later they were back to 8th or 9th. I am just excited to see how this season plays out! Definitely going to get interesting DIng, Ding, Ding!!!!! Someone gets it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 It’s my understanding that the plan was for SCV to have the closer in tonight, but that weather kept them off the field for some of the planned blocks this week in Flagstaff, and it’s not quite ready. They’re hoping for next show, or at least next week. Way cool drum break, though!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to like it, but I am finding it difficult A lot of people said the same thing with Star of Indiana in 1993. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD has one of the weakest rifle lines in recent memory, flags are doing extremely well, dance and body movement is improving but no amount of sequin, shades of blue color, ripple effects will be able to hide that they are struggling, this is new territory for them, maybe they will clean, enhance and produce one of the greatest performances in August but as of July 2? No! BD’s guard has been a slow grower for a number of seasons now, IMO, probably since 2015 for me. So other guards looking more together as of July 2 sounds about right and doesn’t worry really me. The rifle line for Metamorph struggled for much of the season too. The technique takes them a second. They’ll get there. TJ’s gonna kick some butt. BAC of late has tended to look better by now, though — but I’m not worried about them either. Crown and Bloo look right on track. I think Bloo has underrated for a few seasons now, and I’m hoping they, in particular, get their due soon. I fear SCV is falling into the CrownGuard 2019 trap: tons of talent, a fairly clean book, but a design that just doesn’t know how to show them off at all, which is a shame. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
