wormster79 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Quote  Seems like they fixed their visual issues in 2019.  And of course that’s when the entire percussion staff leaves…. And the pandemic… Edited July 16, 2023 by wormster79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiga Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Very proud of BAC....yet again! What a show this year!  And, enjoying our newest crop of teenaged fan boy designers critiquing every corps here tonight from their mommies' basements.  Maybe you can wipe the Cheetos crumbs off and relive your glory days in your high school band's clarinet section. 😀 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast over Flo, BAC's hornline sounded very controlled, but with little "sparkle." I hesitate to make any assessments until I see both live 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 BK has improved over the past week, but after the opening statement, the show loses so much energy with the large amount of running around while not playing. Removing the black panel from the uniform at the end didn’t make a huge impact because it is just more of the lavender/blue that is already present underneath.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchMello10 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think that we need to stop letting our collective frustration with the competitive boringness of BD’s unrivaled success distract from our better judgement Even if you don’t like their admittedly formulaic shows, the biggest category of judgement should still be the execution, and few years of few corps execute the way that they do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
