Most enjoyable show overall: Troopers Most enjoyable drill: Colts Most enjoyable music: Phantom Best moment: Cadets opener hit Best song choice: Bluecoats - Bump! Most intriguing color guard choreography: Blue Devils...dang! Most satisfying ending: BAC (... but only at Finals... y'all messed with me this season...! Lol) Daughters' obsession: the "princess" in Crown! The only corps for whom they sat completely still! Wife's obsession: "... thou shalt not! Writ over the door..." 😆 we will be reciting that poem in our house for decades to come. Tastiest percussion: Cavaliers feature... especially the front ensemble split cymbal sixteenths! AAAAAAA!! So good! Most satisfying improvement: Cadets! Spacing issues and endurance issues in closer seemed to disappear (for the most part) at Finals. What a great run! I'll add more as they come to me! 🙂 Nice non competitive moments for me Cavies being the Cavs.. like the show and exiting the field in style to their great street beat Cadets wearing their classic uniform to retreat . They upgraded the entire field with tradition. Scouts not making top twelve, but being very much a part of Championship night Not dragging out the scores with needless awards to commercial entities. Having the USMC playing the corps onto the field and corps carrying American, Canadian, British flags to retreat All of the corps making it a great finals regardless of their placing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been crowing about haw great it would be for the Corps to stay in campgrounds while in Indy. Really? That's so cool. He'd probably kill me and bury me in a deep grave on his campground 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pretend that interest in the activity wouldn’t decrease is just wishful thinking and not logical at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony L. Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 20 hours ago, Cainan said: Good run... Problem is Phantom and Mandarins had GREAT runs... I honestly rank it Mandarins, Phantom and then Cadets Just to clarify, Cadets had a great run, Mandies had a great run, and Phantom had just a good run. So, I think the judges gt this group right. Honestly, I would have had Cavies closer to Phantom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pieces from all the Finalist corps and a good number of 13-25 as well. If you name a corps some of its music will start playing immediately in my mind.

I saw it as PR and Mandarins as unleashed season best runs and Cadets with a run much like Friday probably a bit better. The structure of Cadets' show was such that it didn't portray the crazy energy of the other 2. Instead their power comes from precision and clarity which is impressive as heck. I had no issue with the scores. PR and Mandarins definitely gave their best shot, and Cadets took it and came out on top. Cavies had a great run too - they peaked at finals, just not by a ton over Semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, where are the rest of the caption awards? You’ve had 20 hours! 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
