I was a bit of a hater in the early moments of my DCI fandom It's all good!! It was entertaining shutting down trolls with Plan9, Flammaster, 84BDSop and other BD honks during those days. I am telling you, it was like the 300 vs the Persians back then lol. We were all we had on these forums, but we held strong lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been an interesting one! 🤣🤣🤣 💙😈✂️✂️✂️ At around page 7, I had bet the under on the number of pages (U 20.5) before the thread would get locked. Just goes to show why I'm not a gambling man 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not a fan of Babylon and think it was a shame that it won, which it different from whether it should have won. That show had no joy and not enough musicality. To the extent that their championship influenced any onward programing choices, I regret it.

The core of DCI fans and perspective members are musicians first. And BD just isn't dominant in music. It's easy to hate when your favorite corps sounds better than BD and can't beat them Interesting observation. It's interesting in general and because it points back to design, which is at the heart of so much of the BD complaints. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonlyfizzle Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Even though they are legitimate criticism, I for one have always been entertained by Blue Devils! The people who complaint endlessly forget MANY, PLENTY others exist outside of them who loves BD style/type of shows and DCI doesn't revolve around them alone. Is it so hard to realize that ? For All you Haters.... Booooooooooooooooooo 👎 😁🤭 LMAO 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most if not all of them. I was just scanning ordinals for GE and visuals and BD is very good with having the number "1" there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valjean Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 "a lot of the criticisms are actually valid! I just happen to disagree with all of them!" Say what you will, but I love these bloodbath style threads. Salud! 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
