If one is to watch the drill and guard with no sound you can't help but see Crown. The designers have distinct styles that show up clearly here. I'm anxious for the first time all of the top meet up and get a better idea of how they all stack up. Top six is the same from last year and all of them pushing hard.
shmiller70 I’ll see all the top Corps at Mesquite on the 22nd, except the Cadets. Things should be more fleshed out by then. That’s when I’ll have a better idea of who’s on top. Bluecoats look really hard to beat. It’s fun to speculate!!
@@eddietucker7005 oh nice! I don't see them all until NightBeat on the 28th. Yeah, always have fun trying to work out the possibilities. Enjoy your show.
This is a great show...I truly think Boston should be in the top three this year...placement? Hope they shove it down BDs throats....I do think their props need more symmetrical coverage of the field ...
DF R I don’t know. I kind of like the asymmetric settings. I just hope the props are used as well as Bluecoats did with the half pipes. If it’s below that standard, there little chance of winning. But definitely top 5.
Eddie Tucker I should have added that I think props, especially in the first part of the show, don’t move much...that was my primary concern. Hell everyone I hope going to have troubles with the Bluecoats this year, but BC is benefitting from direct one-on-0nes with the Blooooo and I hope ram it down the throats of some of the west coast snobs...
Looks like a great show. However, not every note needs to be at full blast nor at a sizzling speed. At some point because the show is so intense, it actually becomes numbing.
Favorite show this year! 2 concerns: 1- they need to work out intonation and blending in that euph/french horn feature in the ballad. It could work, but it's pretty rough right now. 2- love the dude on the stilts, but they should integrate him into the drill better. Cool moment with the guard, but most of the time he just walks around waving his arms. Great energy! Great mix of old/new school! Great writing! Great execution! I'm rooting for them this year!!
My thoughts exactly. They are going to hit a wall with that because once it gets cleaned up they are going to need more depth and I am not hearing that enough. It kinda sounds more like what a band would do, not a World class drum corps.
Eddie Tucker right instead of just having the drumline in front doing their thing while the horns move the props for the next feature and back them up by literally playing the instrumentals to “My Shot”
I've always enjoyed Boston, with my favorite show being 2003 Bravo, but it's just hard to get into them with the new staff. They are amazing, but for the past two years all I hear and see is Cadets(Brass) and Crown( Guard). Boston use to have a distinct identity in my opinion. Anyway I do hope they have a great season.
I mean yeah that's true but 2018 was super awesome. Also I feel the vibe they get is that they the corps that does the graphic shows or the epic shows. Anything that has a violent premise really. Since like 2014
If they want to win a title then get rid of the Boston in the name. It’s the curse. The Cadets finally did it. The Corps has nothing to do with the city, but the city would take the credit if they won.
@@josiahcourtney5764 oh you're one of those older gen people who spread negativity on modern dci vids and then when someone calls you out for it you attack personally. This is why nobody takes older gen dci fans seriously anymore. All y'all do is complain
I was very hesitant when I first heard about the repertoire, but this show is sick, especially My Shot/Rocky. That shit slaps.
I can see why people dont like the rocky/Hamilton part however I think it is really innovative.
Jesus Christ, top 6 is going to be a bloodbath
Yep.
this show frickin rocks
Damn that was a solid Tuba line at 4:40
5:43 That's the fuckin Endgame theme you sly mfers
that second tenor feature gets better every time
Blue Devils? More like Boston Crusaders! Give BD hell and make them work for it. They really need it.
Damn they’re really coming in vicious huh... top five this year, fo sho
Looks like a World Class show here....could be DCI Champs!
Justplanenuts it is a world class show though
Maybe one day soon but a way off top 3. SCV and Boston are my top 2 favourite shows tho.

Where’s the fourth tenor?
I saw on his Instagram that he had to leave due to "unfortunate circumstances" that needed to be resolved.
Boston’s guard is so amazing my god

What ballad song they use ??
when the corps in on the props, i wish they would play something of substance instead of single chords.

if youre referring to the beginning of My Shot... its not about the hornline. theyre supporting the drumline
Let’s just scrap the drum line feature I guess
Gyurg no, how about putting the snares on the props if that the percussion feature.

do you have bluecoats?
I didn't get a recording of their show, but I did record the encore which I'll try to post tonight for you!
Did you start recording at the beginning?
no...and I regret it :(

Boston Look Like Top 4
Nai1216 right now more like top 2
Top 5

lauren decruz Aren’t they still based in Hyde Park? If so, that’s part of Boston. Same Mayor, Fire Dept. and Police Dept.
tbh, pit could be better. I love Iian but...
he some how does better in my hs as he arranges there
They threw away the potential this show could have had.
naw this show has a ton of potential
Stop going around trashing on people's shows bruh just watch, listen, and appreciate
I'm 90% sure this was a "Not throwin away my shot" joke... But alright
Makes sense but I wasn’t joking. This show could have been powerful but it’s kinda lame
