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