CAtenhut Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Why has the Bluecoats 2024 thread all of a sudden become a BD hater thread? It's not a good look. Edited August 16, 2023 by CAtenhut 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really think about it the only 2 times in the show where there was more traditional drill was in the opener with the moving squares ending in the Maltese cross, and the very end with the Matisse star. Everything else was staging and FTL. Where is it well documented? Taught on the field? So for what they do without a drill writer, that makes what they do even more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure its not the typical drill writing we think of but they still write drill 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of hard to explore how a 3 time in a row silver medalist can win gold without comparing them to the winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing them is one thing. But what I'm reading here is coming across more like pettiness and bitterness.

And maybe lately it’s more collaborative with a lot of freedom while they develop over a season. But usually, they are well planned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime BD is given good faith criticism, BD fans think it's pettiness and bitterness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying there isn't an outline, but they don't use dot books or drill books. If you teach choreography for a stage musical, there is usually an outline and written counts, but it's not put on paper like a marching drill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
