DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SEMIFINALS

BD has opened up a larger lead tonight.  Though there is no denying BD is super talented and has a phenomenal staff, I would like to see a different corps win.

Yikes I hate the Cadets unis but they sound great!! 

Time to stop hating on the Cadets unis.  😎

I am a huge fan of the traditional cadet style uniform but if you're being objective, the Cadets visual appearance especially on hi-cam is spectacular. 

From the waist and down and especially the white socks which I like, the white makes for crystal clear forms on the field.

You want GE from your musicians, you got your GE going on here.  Tonight's Cadets look great.

Blue Devils better than everyone else? Sure, I buy that.

Blue Devils nearly a point and a half better than everyone else? Naaaah.

Same.

I truly expected the gap to narrow tonight, not widen.

Now that they have their ankles covered, I totally agree. It looks great. When the ankles were bare, it looked pretty messy at times.

Again I vehemently disagree with the judging result and again I will be flamed by the BD people. BD is not a point and a half better. They simply are just not. I give up, I will never understand why judges love BD so much.

Devils won color guard, but they came in 4th in both brass and percussion. As usual they crushed everyone with GE.

This year they have usually had good GE margins. But in recent years their firewall is usually visual. It is why they can sometimes win overall without winning GE, as in 2019. And if they win GE game over.
