Love how the lights turned on right on that cold attack

West side! I’ve been Blue Devils fan since studying snare privately with Rob Robinson (Crossmen, BD).

Blue Devils have such an amazing Bass drum line this year. I really think they’ve got the best drum book for 2023 at they are really cleaning things up. At this point, I say it’s between BD and BAC for the Sandford. Either way it’s gonna be an amazing 2023 DCI finals.

So BD lost high drums in Houston by a tenth to Cavies due to the achievement score. Didn't see that one coming. Maybe they had a bad night? Content score has been high all season, my guess is that they will dot the I's and cross the T's and take high drums at finals.

[@FBarnacle]

BD consistently have been scoring the highest content of all the top lines. Not worried.

[@BerserkRain]

Other groups scores in the same and other captions dropped by a couple of tenths of points so not sure but some of the judging was a bit wonky.

That's crazy Cavies book is straight up kindergarten bullshit compared to BD book

@@BerserkRain Sometimes the human element leaves you scratching your head in the judging arena. It is what it is.
