Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted July 14 Popular Post Posted July 14 Happy Monday everyone! It’s a big week for DCI as we begin the Texas tour in just 2 days!!! I wi be at Denton, San Antonio and McKinney this year and am very excited. Will probably do live updates at Denton and SA, still don’t know yet but here’s my preds for San Antonio: 1. BAC 2. Bloo 3. SCV 4. BD 5. PR 6. Crown 7. Mandies 8. Cavies 9. Blue Stars 10. Blue Knights 11. Troopers 12. Colts —— 13. Scouts 14. Crossmen 15. SOA 16. Pacific Crest 17. The Academy everyone else My reason for BAC in first is more of a possibility than anything. They have the Friday before SA to rehearse where Bloo is going to the show in Houston. I think Bloo wins Denton and the BAC SA since they have that extra day to clean. Super excited for these next few days, hope everyone’s getting to go to some shows as well! gregorydf01, SharksAreCool and OGFISD99 3 Quote

Tubalord11 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 So tonight was insane. Everyone showed up and showed out. PC was my first with tonight bc of lots and they were solid. The first half was pretty tight, I liked the jazzy Italian ish section. Love the musical writing and guard was solid. Crown-HOLY BRASS!! I mean they are so freaking loud, much better then last years. Just such raw power, and the perc and guard was ridiculous. They do still have some pretty good work drill wise, cover downs and some other stuff and I still have no idea what they are going for design wise but what amazing sounds. SCV- this show was so much and then some. SCV is back, and they blew the roof off. Love the drill/design, so so creative and fresh. There is a lot going on but it’s nice bc it provides good variety. Their brass is really freaking clean and I love that book so much. If this does not matter, I will be very surprised. I think this is my favorite show from Boston ever. chills the entire time, so much for variety in style in the brass book which is so appreciated I mean, they are only gonna be going up from here. really I think once they clean up visually they’re gonna take bloo and win it all and that guard is unreal, not their best run tonight, but I think they will win it in the end. But yeah, if Boston doesn’t step off the pedal, my 2025 champs bloo was also insane. They are so freaking loud just like Boston and Crown and Vanguard though I do wish they had more musical variety as at least in person and really feels like they’re just blasting a ton which isn’t bad but I think that’s why there was the gap in brass between them in Boston and I think it will stay that way the rest of the season. Their guard is also insane and visually just so impressive. They are literally playing while running. I think the scores were right on, and don’t be surprised when Boston passes Bloo, it really is only a matter of time imo, but then again Bloo is on a role OGFISD99 1 Quote
Tubalord11 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Also, and obviously it’s two different panels, but holy crap mandarins are closing in. Crown and possibly phantom might need to watch out a little. SharksAreCool 1 Quote
Tubalord11 Posted July 20 Posted July 20 LFG SCV ANE BAC!!!! The placements were exactly how they should have been. My favorite was def Phantom, was crying the last 2 minutes. But everyone was just phenomenal, this show is just unreal. Finals will be insane J-Mike16 1 Quote
Tubalord11 Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I do wanna say that I think BAC and SCV are gonna start pulling away from Bloo and BD. SCVs show just has more going for it than BD though BD was amazing so I’m not fully convinced just yet. As for Bloo, their show just lacks the same flow and cohesiveness as last years. Like I really am starting to like it less as the season goes on. They are amazing don’t get me wrong but BACs full ending isn’t even on the field, they’ve got plenty of work to do visually (guard needs to lock in fr), but idk I think if they don’t that, even if Bloo cleans up musically which I don’t see them passing BAC if they do, BAC will just be more clean but I could be completely wrong. I’m just expecting some form of settle-ness from here on out Thanos 1 Quote

But that’s just me OGFISD99 and Tubalord11 2 Quote
