MidWAmericanArts Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Another tidbit for the “rooting for anybody but BD” crowd: Every corps in the top 5 beat Blue Devils in at least 1 sub caption tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I swear no matter where Bloo places over the last several years, you are class personified. Quite a few people on this forum could learn something watching the way you carry yourself, regardless of placements. Respect Sir. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasgre2000 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think it's a 4 way race for silver, based on tonight's scores. SCV a little ways back, but the spread between Crown and SCV is (essentially) the same as the spread between Crown and BD, and I think we'll see some big changes from SCV's design by the time we reach finals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Crown should medal this year. Silver or bronze, depending on how well Bluecoats cleans their ending. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the most sustained sections of playing actual music…not just little fanfares and movie background music. They have the longest sustained ballad of any of the top corps with Boston coming in next. Some may prefer “innovation” and flash, but maybe some judges prefer music and Melodies over gimmicks. That said, all the corps performed at an extremely high level and are supremely talented and are all winners 🏆. This is a thoroughly enjoyable season. So glad drum corps is back 😁👏🏼 Moon River?! Come on, man. Sheesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidWAmericanArts Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Last stat for me: Judges each averaged one skipped tenth per sub caption in their top 5. They were super focused on ranking each corps and less so on rating, which was more or less negligible. No big gaps in scoring for any caption. For example: 9, 8.9 skip to 8.7, 8.6, 8.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 not a fan of BD's show but good for them. scoring has zero impact on my enjoyment of the shows i do enjoy. looking forward to san antonio which will be my first viewing of any live shows in 2 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
