That hoop noped out.

I wonder how many staff have had to chase down when they practice on harder surfaces like lots.

BK doing so much better this year at this time compared to last year too.   Everyone's getting their post-pandemic glow ups.

The 21 time DCI Champions showed us tonight why they have those championships. I am loving this show more and more every time I see it. There is soooooo much GE packed into this show. It's not clean, not even close. They have clearly fleshed out the important aspects of most of the show and got rid of the clutter. Still more to do but gosh darn-it is this thing sweet. The only weakness now is the very tail-end of the show. Too abrupt...but I know that will change. 

In terms of brass, percussion, and guard I believe all 3 captions will be contending for top honors. Visual analysis is top notch. I love the number of effects they generate with the black capes. Guard is on fire. There is still more clutter they can take out of this show, but already I see so much improvement, and when the visual and music hit just right boy does this corps SPARKLE! 

Very few drum corps have the stage presence and precision of the Blue Devils. Maybe Bluecoats have a shot this year. Maybe even Boston or Carolina. But as I think about how this BD corps will look when cleaned with a more effective ending I think just how difficult it will be for anyone to beat them.

Is 'busking' not used out West?   Like ... all the big cities on the east coast, I've always heard it called busking, buskers, etc.
