I don’t understand this new BAC ending, i hope it gets better

The humidity in Allentown is currently 83%.   That pretty intense.  That could be the problem.

That was a rough closer run for Boston. Company front wasn't straight at the start--like, did I see that correctly and ten yards worth of people just formed up two steps forward of where they were supposed to?

And a couple of people went early for the down ending in a way that was noticeable from high cam by me--and I figure if it's noticeable enough that a pit guy spotted it it must be pretty bad.

Nifty down ending though.

Wish they'd found a way to wedge a certain rhythm into one of the various drum fills under held chords, though.

I caught that too — made me wonder if the drum major’s cue was confusing.

I also noticed that, and that was the first time in weeks it wasn't straight out

Ok..I'm glad that wasn't just me not knowing something. I'm thinking are they supposed to be THAT crooked?? They didn't know where to be unfortunately.

Everyone after Phantom seemed flat to me, and maybe Flo is the source of the weird sound stuff as I didn’t think Bloo, BD or Boston sounded that great. Perhaps the long day of challenging weather?

Boston’s guard had quite a few uncharacteristic errors and BD’s guard seemed the strongest they have been, so no idea how that will end up.

I think from an energy standpoint, Phantom gave the most. I could see them sliding up a bit this week.

Ok,  what does BAC throwing the purple cloth at the end mean?

Purple is a very "sacred" color. it was expensive and illegal to own any purple colored item at certain points in time. It was reserved only for the church or the crown.  I suppose it signifies the throwing away of the paradise Adam and Eve had as they are banished from Eden.

I think it was how Flo mic’d the field. I
