Any show that does that is a win in my book. i was grooving throughout the whole show. no idea what they were trying to convey in the show but whatever it is they owned it. i noticed a lot of very subtle dirt, mainly just in the guard (wind was brutal, had to catch my hat from flying off my head!) and some really confusing drill where i feel like they didn't know their dots yet lol. either way, truly a good competitive Blue Devils show! cant wait to see them later in the season!

Hoping they make finals🤞 Although things can happen (see 1983 Geneseo Knights & 1988 Freelancers) Mandarins look like a solid finalist. What I am wondering is if Troopers can clean and add their way to 12th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troopers, Madison and Academy are in the 14-16 spots 3-4 pts behind. That's a pretty big hill to climb, but considering Troopers started their season later than most and already shown a lot of improvement over their first 4 shows, it is definitely possible.

We need to see what happens when they all get together in San Antonio. Based on having seen both Madison & Troopers on Flo I think Troopers have a lot more potential in their show (I have said before that allowing females into Madison does nothing for their perennial design issues - and I have seen nothing so far that makes me want to retract that statement). I think of the BK, Crossmen and Colts trio - BK seems to be the most vulnerable. Colts percussion is smoking, and Crossmen are pretty strong all-around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives them a week and a half to solidify it with a bunch of reps, before San Antonio. Not sure that's the "final ending"... The last few drill moves seem like a placeholder, and SCV is known for adding things on at the end of the show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where the 'lets learn a temporary ending and use it for a few weeks until we learn a new final ending, even if that gives us less time to clean and tweak the new final ending' trend came from. I guess I just come from an era where you only did a re-write only if whatever we were doing just didn't sell w/ the judges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one we have seen so far screams placeholder. Every BD closer we have seen over the last decade in late June/early July changed, or had major additions by August. Tempus Blue will be no different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylogan Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I’m putting it out there. I’m totally fine with this ending! If it changes, I’m fine with that too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my memory, Felliniesque’s closer did not change much at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
