I'm bias in the opposite way of you and I have Colts over Troop tonight.

In my neard brain, I hope Colts pass Blue Stars 

I think it's likely to happen even though I hope it not. I love Blue Stars show this year. one of my favorites.

Okay, I'm picking up on two distinct kinds of shows and I'm pretty sure almost all shows I've seen this season fall into one category or the other:

(1) shows that take you on a journey

(2) shows that explore a lot of different ways to say the same thing

Neither one is better than the other. While I have my preference, I can see the merit in both.

Troopers may not win this year. Other corps perform "better" whatever that means. BD runs and plays Year 10 of the Mickey Mouse Theme at 220 bbm. Coats summons the Seventies in Spandex. Crown and the Marching Arbans. You can have it. I'll take the Troopers. Gosh darn, if that is not the best show of the season. Takes you on a journey, start to finish. So many creative moments - the "horse skip" when the corps turns forward in the third moment; the harmonica / french horn / trumpet trio; the emotion; the depth of feeling. What a show!!!

Let me be the first to say Troopers just blew me away live. This show is awesome! 

With that being said, there is no need to put down other corps.

No Sir. We are all going to behave tonight.

I got Troop JUST above Colts on the strength of battery and GE, but that was not their best run.

 

I’ve got Colts over Troopers based on the last half of your observation. Colts brought it tonight! Strong in every area. Take nothing from Troopers, they are awesome, but it was an off night to me.

Agreed.. I reckon both Troop and Colts over them tonight. Their shows are just so much more cohesive and readable.

I'm eager to see how they respond to losing to Troopers at Allentown. I thought Troopers were off tonight, so it's possible Blue Stars could slip in between them and Colts. These three are tough for me.
