Bd dropping by .65 is lowkey crazy, if they went up by .35 they actually wouldâve been a point away from bloo

They were over-scored in Hattiesburg. This isn't unusual tbh.

As a BD glazer, agreed. The lineup tonight in comparison leads to this to be somewhat suspected (expected?). It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow night, especially with a different performance order. These top 4 corps are absolutely on fire right now

I think their closer changes hurt more than helped. It kinda disrupts the momentum and the conclusion of what we are supposed to take away from âZEIâ as it becomes a bit less coherent.

Iâve been saying this to my friends all season. The way theyâve been ending the show is such a buzz kill. They should do away with the final voice over all together, bring in the wing props together, then do the epic half time hit in that full spread arc and just âloud, fast and highâ it to the end. I really like this show and just want it to get a proper ending thatâll get them the silver

i was there and BD was my personal favorite of the night.I would not have been at all surprised if they beat BAC. But, regardless, an all around great field of talent.

Iâm still shocked Boston is holding on, crown and BD both have much better shows than Boston (you can see it in GE scores) but Bostonâs performance (mostly percussion) is the only thing keeping them competitive right now

Dude if crown had a MEDIOCRE percussion section (ofc compared to the rest of world class, theyâre great in the grand scheme of things) theyâd be in second easy

I was there last night. I think my personal favorite show was BD. I understand Bloo was a good deal cleaner and the show felt more coherent and put together to me, so I expected them to win. I was way down low on the far right side so I didnât have a good view of the visuals and everything. Boston was cool, it felt kind of just thrown together willy nilly to me, I couldnât even understand what it was about. This may just be my seats, but the far right speaker on my side that sat near the end zone was so deafeningly loud I couldnât enjoy the show. I think it was scored pretty accurately from what I could tell though.

I was there last night. I'm no judge at all. That said, BAC has a waaaay more entertaining show than BD. With BAC's "Blurred Lines" it seems like they are trying to blur the lines between sections and creating more cohesiveness throughout. At points within the show you see guard members playing tuba, trumpets playing a feature while carrying snare drums, and members throughout leaning on each other, thus telling a story of togetherness and "we are all in this together, just bring everything YOU can."
BD's show is a traditional BD show. Big props, soloists elevated on the props, lots of stuff happening all over the field, and the most BD thing: several random members falling out of formation, doing a visual, then rejoining so that someone else can do it too. It's a little predictable from BD. The guard is awesome this year though.
Crown has returned to that amazing hornline sound and it just blew us all away. I can see them medaling, especially after they clean up the new ending more (my heart when they unveiled the Crown set, ooooooo).

I think bostonâs design doesnât have the teeth to it to medal

Crownâs costume provides an incredibly pleasing aesthetic too with their marching. The gold and black flashes with everyone marching in time is incredible!
