I think I will be holding out on the guard predictions until they are all indoors, but BD and Boston are still the top 2 in that category for me just based on content alone. Brass is seemingly the weak link, but they are certainly still top 5 in that too. BD was low in brass finals night in 19 and we all know it didn’t stop them from winning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That closer screams early season placeholder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard something different in there, but Marilyn Manson is awesome too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as technically perfect as some recent BD guards, but pretty close. They are going for the super clean look by finals. Trying to be just about perfect. But truly skipping out on the difficulty that we see with Boston this season. It’s a choice and I wonder if the judges will reward it or not. I’m sure not which is the better way to go but the the devils dancing, movement and weapon work is very clean regardless.

MidWAmericanArts Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Ok, so I love this Colorado crowd in general, but they lost it for Blue Devils. Wish BD would get the same love out in the Midwest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Real intensity is now being generated by BD. The ending still needs more drive, which I’m sure it will eventually get. It doesn’t feel like the somewhat mismatched collection that it did a few weeks ago. The transitions are now really effective. And their performance professionalism is truly staggering with a basically all-rookie corps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to see them again. I’ve seen boston and devils several times each and feel I was accurate about them.

jwillis35 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 What can you say about the Blue Devils that hasn't already been said? Good gosh is that show AMAZING! They added some more musical tweaks to Moon River. Love the new flugel ad lib ending. And they made some nice changes to Cowboy Beebop (is that the title?). Man that tune was rocking tonight. That could easily tear the house down after that gorgeous ballad in Moon River. Closer is coming along as well. I think they will make some tweaks here too. Brass is just amazing top to bottom. Solos are stronger and more confident. The music is so much fun. Percussion is just on fire and totally into the show. Their showmanship and attention to all the details makes them so much fun to watch. Color guard is starting to ARRIVE. Still work to do but they are just on another level from most guards. The overall visual analysis of this program is maybe untouchable. Perhaps Bluecoats or Crown can come close. We will see. But this show is starting to click. I don't know what their score will be but I'd give that an 87. I am running out of adjectives on how much I like this show. Bluecoats also total BLOOOO me away tonight. I will need another read on Crown but for now I think in terms of the top tier units I think BD and BLOO are getting my vote. I love CROWN too. For now though I am still having a tough time seeing anyone beat the Blue Devils. What a show!!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
