THX 1138 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Ok, I totally get Blue Devils show. Without knowing anything about the actual theme of the show it is obviously meant to be a tribute to Blue Devils history. DCI Championships are finally going to be on the west coast and I bet BD is taking this opportunity to reach out to BD alumni and fans through the years. There are a lot of classic Blue Devils elements musically and visually. The guard wings at the beginning and the end are a huge nod to the Devils glory days of the 1980's. The ending is probably still in development as it did lack some "umph" though. Can't wait to see what happens! There were a lot of moments where they acknowledged some BD history and it made me tear up a little and feel nostalgic. Incredible work, Blue Devils. Wayne, this could be some of your most gorgeous writing yet. 1st place - Blue Devils 2nd place - Cavaliers 3rd place - Bluecoats Missed most of Glassmen's show and all the rest.

Feathers Up Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 BD might need to pull a 2002 and make some changes..The first half is there, but the 2nd half needs something more to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS0527 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Liked it better than previous years. When they play the hard stuff, they still stand still. But much better than last years show for sure! Nice guard, the wing effect was nice.Cavies, Bluecoats and BD will be close tonight. July, field judges are probably coming back on the field. At least for the percussion. Not sure about the others, anyone know? After Wednesday, the percussion and field visual judges will actually be on the field again..

truman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 They seemed to be lacking something... maybe it was no use of voice in the show? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeb Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 1st half exciting. 2nd half, not so much. Read my post earlier :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acn Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Same here. So I got to see the last 1:00 of Cascades, intermission, and the last 1:00 of BD... <**> That is why I decided against subscribing to the premium membership. I'm not going to pay DCI $90, then HOPE they have their act together on the tech stuff. Edited July 1, 2007 by acn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't label that as their fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
