Blink thoughts after the weekend

There’s some concepts I really love. Blink stretching from OTR all the way through Covington and Newport is awesome! But, maybe there could be two or three main focal points to hang at in between all of that. I think smale park was this ideally but it felt pretty sparse to me compared to recent years. Covington was a lot of installations in empty parking lots and then half a block or so of walking without seeing anything. I’d rather have these concentrated in a few places and have pieces strung along the way. Either end of the bridge, and music hall maybe. There were a few small things off the beaten path that made me wonder why you would walk over there for nothing. There needs to be way more live music too, like tons. Also I would’ve love to see the roebling lit up. A lot of people have brought up keeping old favorite pieces, I couldn’t agree more. Curious on everyone’s thoughts

I want to get into coaching

I’ve been at my school for a few years now and I could see myself here long term. Our high school football team is a big deal and they’re have fantastic output numbers in terms of players that make it to good-great college programs. Our other grade levels are also awesome programs. They have a ton of staff and I’m wondering how I can start honing my skills and knowledge to get involved and not obviously have zero coaching experience.

TL:DR- how to set myself up for success to start a possible coaching journey

Is this all it is now?

24 yr old teacher, 4th shooting in my teaching career, I think I’m gonna close the book on teaching. I don’t wanna contribute to making the world a better place by being in danger, I want money and to be safe.

Rewatch

I haven’t watched the show in years, maybe 2021. But I wanna show it to my girlfriend because the first batch of seasons is genuinely some of the best tv I’ve seen. However I’m not gonna watch all of it, because I kinda hate what it became, I can’t really pinpoint where though. Where do yall call it in terms of story quality? Do you think the show has an implied ending point you can pick?

Rewatch

Really wanna rewatch but I watched it twice earlier this year, being my 2nd and 3rd viewing after waiting a year from my first. I think I’m gonna push it a while, maybe wait till Star Wars bottoms out. How many times/ how often do yall rewatch

A little confused

I don’t want to google this because I don’t want spoilers so please be kinda here. Freddie just got put on leave toward the end of season two, Peggy just got his desk instead of Pete I think? I’m a little confused on Pete and Peggy’s positions and promotions. Did Pete want Freddie’s desk but don gave it to Peggy after Roger told Pete he could have it? What’s the hierarchy here? Any clarification is appreciated

What don’t people like about Bloo

Curious for anyone who isn’t a fan of Bluecoats style; what is it that turns you off from the productions? I hear a lot of folks comment on them not playing full phrases. I’d argue that almost no one in the activity is playing phrases as long or as cohesive. The other argument is the technology. In my opinion Bloo has mastered technological integration, also not a very big point considering how many groups use tech, and some not very well.

Question about cheating

End of season 1. Was cheating this common for these high up wealthy guys? Or is the show just specifically focusing on these people who are cheater

EDIT: I’m not referring to hidden affairs that go on, I mean the open cheating that everyone knows about and encourages it for the most part.

Just started the show

I’ll be ignoring this post until I’m done with the show, but I’m three episodes in, just finished breaking band and better call Saul for the first time. I love a slow burn and think this might be a good bet, will it hold up through all the seasons?

Black family reunion parade

Participated in the BFR parade at the banks for the third consecutive year today. Does the general public know about this parade? It’s always on a Saturday but it seems like it’s always the emptiest I’ve ever seen the banks.

Maximus character

Light spoilers, Just finished season two and I’m a little confused about Maximus. We see this memory he has of the brotherhood, but after he’s defected and was about to kill the head of the brothers he’s still thinking about this memory for motivation. Wouldn’t he detest the brotherhood now that he’s been chewed up and spit out of it? Or am I looking to deep into this

Madison scouts!

WOW what a show. I have to admit, I’m a newer fan since 2017, was never very into a Madison show. But man this year was special. The had one of the biggest crowd reactions of the night. Decibel wise they were up there with the best. Cracked 100 a few times, but the raw sound of them felt bigger than Boston and scv. Great things to come for this group I hope

Innovation in Brass

Just some opinions here after finally seeing these shows in person.

Bluecoats: this show is absolutely oozing with the sauce. It’s astonishing how much more effective it is than the rest of the groups. For all you people claiming it’s not all that, or that there’s not enough playing or the mic stuff is overdone. You are clearly not watching the pitfalls these other groups are making.

Boston and scv: I’m really at a loss for these two. SCV sounds amazing, but there’s truly never anything happening that’s readable, the motif is great, but not as great as last year… and the year before that. Nothing in these two shows feels earned, which is my biggest disappointment. There’s so many moments that come out of no where, aren’t very clear on what’s going on, and don’t have any tension and release. There are so many moments where someone is up front going crazy but I hear nothing. There’s also times where the ensembles just is not doing a good job communicating these musical ideas. I don’t know if it’s the writing or the design of it all, but there’s multiple moments in bostons show where I’m not sure what I’m hearing, and not in an effective GE way.

Basically I’m saying that there’s so much talent happening, but these designs have got to get sorted out, there’s so much forced production going on, and it’s starting to trickle down to other groups. Moments where the visual has no meaning or tie in to the material, but hey we need a visual and we’ve seen x corps do this so let’s do that. What’s everyone’s takes on the current state of design and the cohesiveness that some groups are finally finding and others are starting to lose?

Goetta fest prices

Might be screaming into the void here but wow those food and drink prices are nuts at goetta fest. I get that it’s a small event and money needs to be made but an extra dollar for cheese and two extra dollars for goetta? Why would goetta not be included. Is this enforced by whoever runs these events or are these booths just run by greedy people with some cooking equipment?

Is boston too blurred

I’m wondering if Boston may have shot themselves in the foot in terms of design. There’s a lot of ripple effects in this show, visually and musically. So much so that sometimes I can’t tell if a particular visual is off by a beat or even half a beat, or if it’s just dirty in execution. Regardless there’s a ton of demand in this show, sorta feels like a jagged line situation to me with some more nuance. Super ambition show coming off a high year, maybe too ambitious? I’m hesitant to say so because the final result is still absolutely stunning

An Inside Look at our 2026 Music Design: Part 3

I love how these two connect all the crazy stuff directly to the show. I think something people get a little frustrated with is these big elaborate designs with ten videos that really just tell you the designer is a very creative person with a nice vocabulary. These videos tie everything directly to the show and justify everything. No corps has a terrible design, but plenty of designs have no justifications
