Okay I mean I get it, but let’s be honest the only corps to do a Sweeney show justice and win with it would be BD with how they mash styles to tell stories. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 His eyebrows do the same thing mine do during Both Sides Now and go up and down a bit with the melody. It's kind of a Pavlovian thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But before i look forward i and many of us still have many days ahead to still reflect on the Incredible 2023 season; on all the shows that was produced and performed. The level of talent across the board was impressive, the competitive nature of the young members were fierce and magnificent to watch. The return and battle for 12th in top 12, the rise of The Mandarins from previous 10th place to 6th. The return of Cadets, The resilience of Cavaliers, The battles of Troop, BS, Colts. The incredible designs and battles between Phantom, Mandarins, Cadets. The Spectacular show down of the top 4; BAC, BC, CROWN, BD was unmatched and thrilling, and the 21st victory of the BD Undefeated streak from 2022 to 2023, technically they haven't lost a show since finals 2019, which is another record in the history books. What would ya'll like to individually like to see Blue Devils explore for the 2024 show. Should it be a conceptual, and what kind of concept ? Should it be purely musical, and what musical genre would you like for them to explore ? Should it be another arts show ? Should it be light heart , or Dark themed ? Should be Story telling ? Doesn't really matter, they're going to do whatever they want and win regardless of what they do. Hell, they could do a full "4:33" show, no playing, no movement whatsoever and still get at least a 96. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It's bitter to imply that a corps and it's designers don't earn anything? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you know exactly what i meant but just inn case you don’t: it’s bitterness to imply that what the MMs, design team, and instructors do isn’t even necessary, as they would win by just showing up. People don’t have to like their shows, or whatever perceived advantages they feel the corp may have, but to discount their talent, their hard work, and their showmanship by saying it doesn’t matter smacks of plain old jealousy. I don’t care for several shows from year to year, but i always appreciate the effort and talent. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 For sure. I was agreeing with you. The first half of BD 2023 was the most I've gotten into any BD show in at least 5 years. But their design team and performers aren't just given championships. Any rational human understands that so I chalk Galen's comment to being pretty much pure intentional hyperbole. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) It's not bitterness or saying it's unearned or undeserved- more of an acknowledgement of the seemingly perpetual disparity between what BD rolls out with every year and what every other corps brings out, as well as the lack of overall competitive parity at the top that's been the environment of DCI for the last 10-15 years. To have any other expectations for this season, or any given season for the foreseeable future, would be wishful thinking at best or being in denial at worst. And yes there's a lot of time between now and August but realistically speaking, it would take something along the lines of multiple major staff departures or a sudden unforeseen and unexpected drop in finances or recruiting, and none of those are anything that should be expected to happen anytime soon.
