It seems the activity is really at the point now where the traditional names of the units can be dropped or significantly changed. While there's certainly something blue about the Blue Devils, there's nothing blue about the Bluecoats or Blue Stars. WGI groups began coming up with creative names for their ensembles years ago and DCI corps should follow suit.

I have been a follower of DCI competition since 1972 and before that in the 60's. The Blue Devils dominance in DCI is to be respected. The Madison Scouts, Santa Clara Vanguard are noticably absent. In the Scouts case for several years being a final 12. The Cavaliers, Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment, Blue Stars, as well as some others, remain competitive. This consistency of some corps is achieved by recognizing their tradition, uniforms, type of music, symmetry of all Corp members in presentation. A flow of sight, sound, presenting a powerful display to the audience and judges. The Madison Scouts, 1975,1988, Santa Clara 1973 and 1988, were particular years these corps were unparalleled. They need to get back to that type of performance.

@slycanyon Actually you can. If you know anything about DCI, you would know that BD puts out their annual "BD360" series which clearly explains the show and what they are trying to accomplish. They have been doing this since the 90s. So either you know already know this, or you are just a bitter basement troll who is just here to hate.

I just think for a new people to dci people or just sum in general wouldn’t want to or try to understand these over the top concepts of shows like BDs. Boston and crown was straight forward and allows the audience to connect better while watching it live

Congratulations to the Blue Devils' 21st DCI World Champion season--an UNDEFEATED season as well (not the first and definitely not the last). In terms of the brass caption award, BD still holds an ENORMOUS lead with 25 trophies at finals. With Crown's win tonight, they tie with Cadets at 8 trophies right behind BD. It would take either Crown or Cadets 18 consecutive wins to edge out BD's brass EMPIRE (2COOLWD!). Keyword: Consistency. For the percussion caption award, SCV still leads the pack with 15 trophies followed by BD with 13. Cavaliers' percussion win tonight now ties them with Cadets at 7 trophies and lands both corps into third behind Blue Devils and SCV. Tonight was BD's 22nd colorguard trophy. Right behind BD in terms of trophy count would be Cadets with 7. It would take Cadets 16 consecutive wins to edge out BD's colorguard DYNASTY. BD's 8-peat in colorguard from 2008-2015 (mic drop!) is a feat of particular note which the brass and percussion captions aren't even close to matching at DCI finals. Otherwise, congratulations to every member who marched this week in Indy. This experience built a foundation of success for all your future endeavors in school, work, and life in general. Remember the lessons you learned this summer and apply them to all challenges that come in the future.

This comment perfectly distills exactly what annoys drum corps fans about BD fans

Blue Devil's "brass empire" still hasn't managed to get a perfect brass score like Carolina Crown did in 2013

BOOOO DEVILS!! GO PACIFIC CREST

To the young people competing in the newest evolution of Drum Corps , congratulations to the age outs job well done. To visual visionionaires just KMA and keep moving, if didn't compete in your true Corp uniform don't wear it at Olympic retreat, and lastly for DCI ,stop inviting the Commandants OWN because the disconnect is ridiculous stop showing the past years of the Old Guard in the promos as well as pre 1998 competitive Drum Corps just Stop its insulting let this new activity stand alone, give it a new name if you choose not having the American Flag on the field while competing has always be a great disgrace having Corps present it at retreat as nothing more than a prop is insulting again, at this point just leave the American Flag the Marines Drum & Bugle Corps along with the Old Guard completely out of the new activity, you've changed the activity so much let's see if the rumors are true DCI is no longer sustainable and possibly folds in 2028 if factual its a fitting end to an organization that I competed in for 4 years marching Drum Corps for 19 years, you've destroyed a helluva alot more than you have helped

Stop watching if you hate what DCI has become. I marched years ago, and yes things have changed, but that is what life is all about. Things evolve. If you don't like modern drum corps, then find another activity to watch or to become involved in. This one does not seem to make you happy anymore.

If anything, DCI evolution will happen even faster in the next four years. George Hopkins' G-7 concept will become a reality (what irony) with only 7 or 8 top echelon units touring the country. Whomever is left will compete in regional circuits with an eye on advancing to the top 8 in finals with a member or two of the top 8 being relegated to the lower league. It will be similar to international soccer. A DCI Champions League, Euro League, FIFA Club World Cup, etc. It may be the only way forward.

Way over-produced, like ALL of DCI now.

Love the corps... HATE the entire sports oriented production.

I participated in creating the entire sports themed production back in the 1970s. it was a natural progression to bring in a dozen cameras (and mics) as with any professional football game and cover every angle of the field. Getting a network sports production truck was achieved, as was getting the finals on ESPN. We ditched the game show hosts and brought in high-profile sports play-by-play announcers and finally marching arts specialists. Creating a 100 yard wide performance stage was the goal and curtaining-off the backfield seats for finals was the finishing touch. Couldn't be prouder of how the production evolved over 50 years.

yawn

who cares if the soloist are female. just have good soloist.

The blue Devils do not deserve first place way because they are making dci boring by winning all the time

I don’t care what anyone says. BD didn’t deserve that win. Electric guitar doesn’t belong in drum corps.

another bag job again, could have told you the top three at the beginning of the season. BAC was over them all up until prelims in scores.. this judging platform needs to be changed. all about ge and nothing about execution and performance. BAC had the best over all show and this. smh
