It also seems that Boston is starting to close in on The Bluecoats, which could make these final 2 weeks one of the best finals weeks in DCI! Quote

packwick Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 oof. Bloo steamrolled over the comp tonight at Nightbeat. i guess they've been doin' that most of the season, but tonight they won all 11 judges of a double panel over both devils and crown. 😬😬😬 Bostonnnn, you're the only hope! alas, rly don't see them winning either... design not at the same level. bloo would have to have a reeeally lousy run in finals. but hey, maybe. get out your voodoo dolls!!

Expand Troopers over Cavaliers! That's more interesting to me, honestly. It has been a while since that happened. Boston's next direct match with the Bluecoats is at that Canton, OH show just before the World Championships. So, if a change happens at the very top, and that's a big if, then it will be pretty much right at the end of the season. There are the two Allentown contests as well, but those provide a less direct comparison, with the corps split up over two days. Quote

Popular Post packwick Posted August 10, 2024 Popular Post Posted August 10, 2024 phantommmm over crown after semis!! judges are giving "the people" most of what they want this yr, it seems. crowd rxn to phantom will be wilddd tomorrow night. blooooo on top again in semis. boring result but well-earned. undefeated season incoming. vis prof judge was a lil stingy overall, kept Bloo's total score just below a 98. think my og premiere prediction of a 98.5ish in finals will end up accurate, tho if im the one judging VA, MA, or GE, id prob have Bloo 100 in what, 99 in how, assuming a performance that isn't really obviously worse than usual, or a competitor's perf that's way better. BAC preeetty solidly in 2nd, GE should keep them there. very likely will earn their highest score yet. their best show ever, so go figure. guard still undefeated i think. a guard hasn't had an undefeated season since before 2013, as far back as results go on the DCI site. even BD's 2014 guard was beaten at a contest in Indiana by Bloo. 99-99-99 from the judge in semis. might see a perfect 100 for BAC in finals. will say it again, best guard ive ever seen in DCI, like Pride of Cincinnati but on the field, esp when viewed up close. holy vocabulary!! perc obviously doing something right to be slaying also, but personally not a big fan of the perc writing overall. too intrusive to the fabric of the music, 2nd mvmnt drags again for me. prefer Bloo's approach to perc writing, more dynamic and textured, fits with the brass better. think it's more effective that way. devils are obviously amazing performers but the show never came together. looking forward to next year for them. hope 2025's vis program has more of that clarity and balance they're known for. wanna be able to "hang it on a wall" the way @Rubisco says. also hope they do a theme that's more left-field for them. no more simply picking an artist or art movement or art work! i forbid thee!! wondering if heads will roll at Cavies after this season. currently in 11th. feel like the design team should be given at least a couple chances before being guillotined, but ppl in this activity are quite impulsive, actually frequently quite nasty compared to, say, the color guard side of WGI. but that's a diff discussion LOL.

Popular Post Dave609 Posted August 11, 2024 Popular Post Posted August 11, 2024 This season was truly amazing! Congratulations to The Bluecoats who take their second Gold Medal back to Canton, OH! This was by far one of the best seasons we have had and makes me so excited to see what is going to happen in the future! Overall, The Bluecoats, The Troopers, Boston, and Phantom had the best shows of the season! Congratulations to all who competed in DCI this season! JazzRun, packwick, Tubalord11 and 5 others 8 Quote
Popular Post packwick Posted August 11, 2024 Popular Post Posted August 11, 2024 congrats Bloo on your first undefeated season and highest score yet!! congrats to the other finalists too. some pretty great stuff in the mix this year. recaps, only thing that kinda annoys me is no perfect 10 in content for BAC's guard. like, c'mon!! 9.9s again. but other than that things look fine. congrats to the BAC guard on the first undefeated guard season since before 2013!!

Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted August 11, 2024 Author Popular Post Posted August 11, 2024 Amazing season and congratulations to all our finalist and our other corps! So many wonderful shows top to bottom, I think Phantom was my favorite, but Bloo and BAC were not close behind! BD had some solid moments and ofc executed so well, SCV had a fire comeback season, Mandarines had such a FUN show, loved colts music book, troopers were just WOW, Cavies show was not their best, but they still looked and sounded great, and was super happy to have Scouts back in finals! Overall probably my favorite season since 17, so sad it’s over but I’m already looking forward to next season!!! J-Mike16, Sideswiperr and Rubisco 3 Quote
Rubisco Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 I'm watching some of the finals videos on YouTube right now. I tried not to burn myself out by watching the shows too much this season, which I feel is easy to do when you follow the DCI season religiously. I'm quite enjoying the slight design changes and performance improvements that have accumulated over the last few weeks, I have to say. Nicely done! 👍 Tubalord11 1 Quote
Thanos Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 Up until Saturday, I'd never been to a DCI Finals in person. Oh, what a thrill it was from start to finish. Out of all the corps, no one got the crowd on their feet like Phantom did. Welcome back to the top four! And of course, Blue Coats won to no surprise so congrats on your all's first undefeated season. I'd say we're in the depression phase of the postseason, but now we've got marching band season right around the corner. Cannot wait🔥 LeanderMomma and Tubalord11 2 Quote
clarinote Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Does anyone have a folder of past DCI shows they could possibly send me? Quote
