Maleguena1988 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) While not against their chief competitors, this is definitely showing the cleaning has paid off. My Bloo always tells me that staff is consistently telling them that this show can win; you just have to buy in 💯 . Nevertheless, gonna hold this day in my memory that Bloo is on top….The race to Indy has begun. HERE. WE. GO.

Popular Post An_drew Posted August 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2023 3 hours ago, Ashontheinternet said: i think bloo is trying to make commentary on the current political landscape of america. in a world where religion/state legislation is trying to step in between the rights of those in the LGBTQ+ community in places like florida where in many ways the existence of transgender or non straight people is being illegalized and silenced, the garden of love poem is now poignant and relevant. as a corps known for exceptional inclusivity and care for members, this seems like a direction they would take. it is a much more subtle political take than something like Propaganda show or what have you, but just as effective. i could be wrong though, just my take. The imagery invoked in the poem and the show can be a metaphor for anything, but as someone who is in the LGBTQ+ community, I can confirm that this show really hits me emotionally. I was just watching a recording taken from the stands at NightBEAT, and I started tearing up when they got to "...and I saw that it was filled with graves, and tombstones where flowers should be..." Because I remember what it was like being a teenager and realizing that my Garden of Love was filled with graves. This show is so special. I'm proud to call myself a fan and a supporter of this corps. 10 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proud to call myself a fan and a supporter of this corps. This is really lovely and is hitting me hard as there was just a murder of a gay man in my current home city (Brooklyn, NY) while I’ve been out of town, so I will def think of your post when I watch Bloo this weekend - thanks for that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bird Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The scores tonight and tomorrow will tell us a lot about how this season will play out. If Bluecoats are comfortably ahead of Boston tonight and come close to BD, we will have a very interesting finals week 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
