That's exactly what I said. They had (by their standards) a bad run, and still slayed it. Totally bodes well for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, Very True. I have no knowledge of their current rehearsal situation since the extent of my communication with my kid last night was “PC might make finals. Holy Crap!” (He’s a BD MM that endured regular tour woes with Gold, The Academy, and Pacific Crest). I guess they’re living the high life while rehearsing 12 hour days. 🤣 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gathered, the Mandarins kids are showing alot of love to PC and they are rooting for them. Awesome to hear. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On show days Blue Devils normally rehearse on average eight hours or less. Two three hour blocks some days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwellian Wiress Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 This is why I did band for only one year, the schedule and other factors took a huge toll on my mental health. Luckily I'm still able to find ways to incorporate the marching spirit into my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your point, I have heard that BD is not as physically exhausting as other corps. It’s kind of fascinating actually. They work smarter not harder and still manage to achieve greatness 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlyfizzle Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I didn't know BD was back at Wyoming doing their rehearsals in the indoor facility. Found out on Instagram last night, from a post they've posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place will be a BD mainstay for years to come in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
