I just discovered you on my recommended page, and your commentary is amazing. Your perspective and comments are really entertaining to listen to! Keep it up man, look forward to hearing you throughout the season.
I think the biggest struggle with BD besides Boston and Coats doing really well this year across the board, is that they have a show design that doesn’t showcase their ensemble as well as previous years. Because their show is clunky music wise and claustrophobic drill wise, it doesn’t lead to grand moments that generate a ton of excitement. The cloaks also don’t help their visual.
There are people who really think Blue Devils can't place any lower than 2nd? Um, yeah about that... My first year watching drumcorps (88), they placed third. Then the next five years they placed: Fourth, fourth (if memory serves, they tied with Phantom whatever they placed), fifth, fourth, fourth and I loved almost every show from those years (except 91). 2005 they placed fifth. Yowza! Anywho, gotta slightly disagree on Crown this year. I think they are a little less/lower than they have been recently. They are still performing at a very high level, but they seem dirtier this year than most and their show concept is really weak. Personally, I find their music to be incredibly boring. This is very unfortunate for me as they had my favorite show last year. I keep trying to like their show but it hasn't happened yet. I will keep trying but I'm starting to think it will never happen. I really enjoyed your take on things right now and appreciate your thoughtfulness. Cheers!
The Coats have that 'perfect' show... make the judges happy AND make the fans happy.
No one had that perfect show. Shows are mid as fck
Quite possibly some of the best takes I’ve heard in recent memory.
Mr. Irwin...I marched 82-87 Sky Ryders. Thank you for this channel

Bd has terrible drill this year. Disgraceful
Great arguments! Thanks for the video
It’s so nice to see some points other than whatever the loud majority is saying!
Boston's show is pure drum corps. One of my favorite shows I ever saw since the VFW stuff.
Thought earlier that they (the Bluecoats) might set the record for the gap between 1st and 2nd (regardless of who is 2nd)
None of the corps have good drill. They refuse to march. Drill writers dont know how to writr drill
