I just thought it weird at first, I thought the ballad was way too simplistic (still do, but SCV 2018 and some of Bluecoats ballads rival or exceed that simplicity). Once I got accustomed to the unusual nature of the show, and paid attention to the main character manipulating the corps proper to distract from the ballad, I was sold. Fantastic show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 After seeing BD 2005 for the first time back then, I remember thinking that this show was a good example of designers trying to “outdo one another creatively”. I imagined a design meeting for this show to go something like this: ”I’ve got a great idea!” “Yeah? What is it?” “Remember those dance derbies they used to have?” “Umm - I think so. So we’re going to do a show about dance derbies?” “No - just one in particular.” “OK, why just one? Never mind. Which one?”. “The one that set the record for the longest one.” “Oh cool - so we’re going to do a show that tries to recreate the record holder for dance derbies.” “Well, sort of. But with a twist.” “Oh yeah? What kind of a twist?” “We’re going to do it backwards!! <exclaimed very proudly>” “Wait - why are we going to do it backwards??” “Because…well…you must not get it.” Except for that, I actually thought it was a pretty decent show (and not as bad as everyone makes it out to be). As was mentioned earlier, I think the European tour right in the middle of the competition season did them in that year probably more than the show design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you. 😂 Nah....I didn't want to be the next "CCCRRYYYYSSSTTTTAAAALLLLL" or "CROSSMEN DRUMLINE!" or some other numb nuts desperate to get on a recording. I have a LITTLE more sense than that...and I didn't want to ruin it for anyone else. The guy I said it to chuckled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFA1970 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 All I remember from 2005 at least for me was BD only performed at their family day show in June then off to Europe. I was kinda peed off by that. SCV had an off year and didn't even score in the 90's come finals. I went to one show in San Jose at Spartan Stadium. Thanks for Phantom for making a trip west and their show was fantastic. BD's first competitive completion wasn't until late in July. It was a very forgettable west coast season for me as I wasn't into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year she's listed on the BD site is 2017 C corps and C winter guard. She may have burned out, moved, or life/money got in the way. She ages out in 2026 or 2027, I think, depending on her birthday (since she was 10 in 2015). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t trying to be stalkerish about it or anything. Just that she was such a great moment and really did a great job in Ink and I’d wondered the whole “where are they now” thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
