The Romantics - Blue Devils 2024

[Box5Opinion]

If the show title is correct "The Romantics", I'm thinking of a mish mash of Jazz music that embodies love-romance, maybe a reprise of "When a man loves a woman" / artist of the Romantic era (Scott Chandler icon love of incorporating artist into the show) and done a Blue Devil way. AND with some type of Japanese anime music. 😜

Someday, one who says that will be correct. If they say it every year they are bound to be right at some point, 

And when those people eventually have their moment in the sun, and they boast about being right with BD finishing 4th, it's important that some of us pull the receipts we collected over the years to remind them how many times they were wrong lol.

If it was any other corps,  I would think somebody screwed up.  However,  this is the Blue  Devils, so it is probably them being all crafty and subtle.

Like I have been saying for decades, if they were to go out in their opening set and take a poop on the 50, DCI judges would say they were making a statement on the futility of one man's struggle in a byzantine society. 

If Boston or Bloo did that,  they'd say "get a shovel!"

LOL!  But seriously,  good luck in 2024 BD!

People still make mistakes.... like how the Houston show location supposed to be announced in February.... but, ya know.....

I was just trying to get the whining and crying started early. Lol.

But now that I think of it, I screwed up and went out of order. 

First thing that is supposed to happen is to overreact to BDs Community Performance in Wyoming, when the show is literally bare bones and nothing of substance has been added yet. 

THEN I am supposed to cry West Coast Inflation after the first show. 

And I think the third thing is then make threads about performers sitting out like five years if they change corps to keep them from going to BD. 

Sigh, maybe I will get it right next year. 

Thinking about it, I propose that what you are against is BD score inflation.  There is another Corps in the area who you wouldn’t mind getting higher scores.

Brother I am just joking, poking fun at the people who cry inflation every June. Just jokes.

You could surmise that.  But also a resasonable scenario is that BD maintains medal status long enough while other corps crumble under finances and they're one of the last three standing.

the Jojo's meledy was good but good lord, Tank! the year before was supreme.   I still think a Seatbelts + Stan Kenton show would be amazing for this BD team to work with while they're on this idiom.
