Not me. I’ve never been in love with Crown’s show this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Flat out wrong" according to Henry If the conditions on the two nights had been more comparable, I would agree, but Friday had huge storms just before the show, a delay, and then everything wet and really soggy air. The top 3 were all noticeably off their game. I have no doubt the panel tried to honestly rank all they saw as one group, but tonight’s corps had a clear environmental advantage that resulted in stronger relative performances. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle six…ugh. Contrast this with Inferno. It’s like two exact opposite design approaches. I could’ve sworn that you were talking up Crown’s show design in late June/early July. I must be wrong and mixing you up with somebody else. My mistake! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I said in my first comment that the conditions were different, but the judges don't forget how they judged the night before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their percussion line has come on strong the last week or so. The Blue Stars should easily attain their highest score ever next weekend. It will be fun to see how they complete the new ending.

Honestly, I don’t know that I believe much of anything that is the scores now. It seems like it’s just a bunch of dudes squinting and saying, yeah that’s .2 better tonight. It’s nonsense, really. At this point it seems like the activity has chosen its top three, and it really doesn’t matter what happens now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allentown should be all corps on the same night. I know, tradition, etc, but I think that's the only way to know for sure. Or, if you can’t do them all in one night (I’m not really sure why), maybe do top 8 on Saturday and the rest on Friday? I’m sure the judges try to account for both nights in their scoring, but I don’t think it’s entirely possible when you are watching and listening to corps that are playing 24 hours or more apart from each other.
