I can’t be the only one who gets mid 2000’s Broken Arrow vibes from the Colts uni’s this year I keep saying it over and over on DCP. Even parts of the ballad seems very BA to me with their individual movements

Boston Crusaders, "Glitch"If you're playing Cindi Lauper, I'd rather her "She Bop" than yet another take on "True Colors." But then of course we would be missing all of that contextual relevance thematically. It would pair with the Zappa piece thematically, though.

Cavaliers, "Beneath the Armor"What does the pseudo-Cheap Trick vocal add to the show? The answer is nothing. It's thematic, I think. My take on the Cavies design is that they are making a statement about masculinity - an approach for which they are uniquely suited in the modern drum corps idiom and which has worked for them in the past - and the way in which men must construct an armor of conventional masculinity around their inner selves. In that context, the line "I want you to want me, I need you to need me" could be making a point about how the desire of others, traditionally women, is one thing that validates a man's feeling of masculinity. He literally needs women to need him in order to feel like a real man. Of course, there are probably better ways to make this very smart point than using this very silly song... but I think that's what they were going for. I'm quite fond of the song. I just don't need a vocal of it in this show. The theme is already overdetermined. The show title alone makes it clear. Anyway, I'm curious to see how it develops. In 2017, it wasn't until August 12, the day of Finals, that "Men Are from Mars" really clicked for me after someone on another forum argued that the theme was toxic masculinity (possibly also a relevant theme in other news of that day) and offered what I found to be a pretty convincing explanation. But I still never cared for the show's vocals.

Didn't get the chance to say this yesterday, but I'm kind of in love with Phantom's show! Been a while since I've felt that way about one of their productions. Excited to see what changes/additions come at the end of season

Drum Corps X has Golden Empire in the lineup tonight and tomorrow, but I see on their own website that their first performance isn't until next week, and it looks like they're doing a total of just five shows this year.

Oh wow I feel dumb- I didn’t even take time zones into consideration 😅 yeah I will probably not be awake by that time though but I will definitely look forward to what happens tomorrow!

As usual, the Blue Devils have to be considered the favorite at this point in the season. Teleport that performance to championship week, and it's easily in Finals as is. (Of course, it won't be scored that way tonight. But I would anticipate something in the upper 70s.)

I love Phantom's show, as well as The Cavaliers'. Crown is looking strong already, so are The Blue Devils. It's going to be a great and very competitive year.

Californians doubtless know this already, but it was new information to me (from Wikipedia):
It's where Pacific Crest calls home.
