Are they still dominant and probably gonna go undefeated? Absolutely. Consistently 1-3 in all captions is gonna do that when everyone below them in the rest of the top 4 has subs as low as 5th - 8th. But maybe a few more cracks this year than last year. They’re amazing at what they do as always. BAC got REALLY close last year and is closing in again like they did Atlanta week 2022. I’m feeling a little competitive tension at the top. I think it’s just amazing at just how good these top corps are. I, subjectively, think BD is definitely better than last year. And yet, Boston, Bluecoats and Crown are still giving them a run. Percussion, half of DCI seems to be trying to win the Sanford this year. Just crazy talent all over and yet, guess who is still leading the pack? BD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayone didn't win in 83 placing 11th overall and 2nd i believe. Phantom was 6th in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopcornEater1963 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Just rewatched Scouts 75 and Spirit 80. What a record scratch after tonight. Before I get labeled a dinosaur (maybe I am)… I don’t pine for G bugles I don’t care what MM’s wear i don’t hate pits Even amplification has good purposes in the activity. But I am a tad nostalgic for the days when music was a 45 point caption. Above all other captions. And music ruled the roost. I’m a little saddened that DRUM and BUGLE corps has evolved into a hyper-amplified visually driven circus. That has nothing to do with number of valves, bore of the bugle, uniforms, etc. Not expecting an answer to the rhetorical “how did we get here”? Just saddened that it’s clear we’ll never see it again. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chief Guns Posted July 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) @spacewill @MandarinMom @DAYGO @Metalbinky @Jnecker @Maleguena1988 I just want to salute our kids and say how proud I am of all the performers who absolutely killed it today! Never in a million years did I think I would be a DCI Dad, but seeing my boy out there tonight, giving it his very best and bringing 14,000 to their feet, I wouldn't trade this feeling I have right now for anything. I hope all of you are just as proud as I am. Edited July 23, 2023 by Chief Guns 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was teaching at Sky Ryders early in the 94 season and they folded, so he took several of his students (all UNT kids) and went to VK. They had 7 tenors in that line. There are YouTube videos of that line out there. I knew about Rennick at VK just didn't know about Float 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m feeling a little competitive tension at the top. Crusaders have a chance to make it interesting as far as running up on BD. Everyone else is out of luck in that regard. Bluecoats success in the last few years is in no small part due to their percussion scores, and that's lagging quite a bit this year. Ditto Crown with their brass numbers, and the fact their drumline just ain't it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battle for 5th is for real... performance slot means a lot less....judges can go back and adjust numbers if need be 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
