That is a great score for Crossmen!

I thought the double tonguing was pretty darn clean at the Atlanta show. Maybe the sops are just having an off night on that section. Then again, I did not hear tonight's performance so maybe it is just a matter of opinion.

I am! I was looking for this thread and just thought I missed it. Thanks for starting one.

Scores are on dci.org now.

I have not heard of that show.

I hope someone posts the scores. Until you guys just posted I assumed everyone was asleep!

Get it Spirit of Atlanta! I can't wait to see the show at the movies on Monday.

While I agree that the "7" definitely do many things well, I do not agree that the "non 7" are doing anything wrong (or anything that needs to change). I enjoyed the 2012 "non 7" more than any other year! My 3 favorite shows were Colts, Crossmen, and Spirit of Atlanta. To say that a group that is not in the top 7 is lacking something or needs to step up the game is simply ignorant. If there are going to be 20+ groups on the competition field, then somebody is going to finish in 8th-20ish place whether they are G7 or not. This does not indicate fault, this just means that 20+ groups are on the field and they all can't be 1st-7th (to state the obvious). That is what we call competition. That is what I love about drum corps.

I think there is a fine line between "entertaining" and "effective" hence making judging a bit more complex than a simple applause-o-meter. I think Jersey Surf's show is a lot of fun, but keep the show in perspective. I think if a group like Cadets or Blue Devils performed this show DCPers would be calling it bando or easy. A show like this is a blast and I love watching it, but I am not seeing effect as a strong point of this show.

Not going to happen. 10th is more likely to switch with 9th than 11th to switch with 10th.

I guess Spirit went home. Lol.

benjaminzein 1 min ago Spirit was good, but I'm not a fan. #dciaustin Not even sure how that's possible...lol
