absolutley adore the proffessionalism at 8:26, the colorguard performer on the 40 getting caught and not visibly panicking and getting back in so seamlessly
65th corps. anniversary. 50th DCI anniversary. Undefeated season. Back to back world championship (2019, 2022). Ott back in Concord. 🎺 First competitive season since 2019. Few returning veterans. What a banner year for the Devs and these members in particular!! 🎊
Of course I was rooting for bc, but damn blue devils blew me away at finals, very cool and challenging show, I ended up staying for victory run. Congrats blue devils, here's to many more great shows to come.
I've shared plenty of my critiques that I have with the design of this show online. However, those critiques don't change the feeling of Wonder I experienced watching these guys rehearse. And then seeing them at the show The Following night. This is a super talented group of musicians, being instructed by some incredibly competent people. I honestly believe that they deserved gold this year. Regardless of how I feel about the show design, they without a doubt had the cleanest visuals, and some of the best disciplined playing among any of the top corps. That's just the truth. I'm so excited for 2023
