saxfreq1128 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Also I hope that BAC member who fell (during the big backwards jazz-running drill form in the second movement) is okay!! Seems like they fell twice in a row — scary place to take a spill in this show! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This result could have been tighter, since BD's new ending was rough visually. BAC might have won visual tonite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of it may have to do with staging. BAC has some big intervals a good bit, where BD is often much tighter. That’s a greater risk/reward situation because the mistakes really jump out, but when they are on, like tonight, it creates fantastic impact. It’s the most technical program they’ve ever done and it’s really starting to cook. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have had the achv score closer; BD dropped a bit tonight. As for content, BAC is fantastic. I think BD is being rewarded for an added layer of dance skills that BAC probably has but doesn’t always show off in the same way. Both are fantastic though, honestly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the contrary to this; that the spread in the field makes it more difficult for timing because musically the voices being heard are very different than being in a tighter form. So the risk/reward is actually greater with the staging a larger form presents. Edited July 27, 2023 by LabMaster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to date myself here but Boston actually reminds me of the second place 27th Lancers from 1980. That 27th guard threw everything into the air but the kitchen sink, with spectacular results. This year's Boston show is the best I've see for tosses since then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO bd and bac guards are both pretty masterful at balancing huge spread moments with tighter feature moments and having a lot of variety in staging - they approach it differently but both design teams definitely know how to show off their range in that regard. This is why I like seeing them face off. Very very different philosophies but they both know how to show off.
