First time that a drum corps show has been designed around crumpled up construction paper For all the attention that BD gives to every aspect of their show, I can't believe they are sticking with those things! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all literally as good as this activity gets. Ive said it before and will say it again best top to bottom season. Nobody missed a beat with time off. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIat14 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I feel like some overdub/electronic their brass while others leave a more natural sound. That sound difference can add to the 'loudness' level. The top 4 are going to HARD to place! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I’ve gotten plenty of this from BD soloists in recent years. I might be crazy, but it just seems like their chops are shot. Can we take some reps off soloists for finals week or something? They were more consistent at the beginning of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re ridiculous. BD is certainly down in content for rifle compared to the competition. I'd even put Crown over BD in guard tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ediblewaffles Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Would I love to see a Boston victory come Saturday? Of Course! Will that happen if BD keeps performing like THAT across the board? Probably not. Edited August 12, 2022 by ediblewaffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The BLUE DEVILS were ON FIRE! The whole show just oozes professionalism and the highest levels of performance. Moon River was just stunning tonight. STUNNING! Brass was on fire. Percussion was on fire. And my gosh that pit is amazing. The drum set player is just incredible. The colors and moods and constant changing of grooves and tempos is stunning when you really dig into their overall music book. Visually they are on a different level than most. The ending of the show works so much better now. I think there is a little spread between them and Boston. My guess is BD took high brass, visual and GE, and they may be 2nd in guard and 2nd in percussion. But when you are 1 or 2 across the board it's a no brainer. They really are stunning! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
