paulie1340 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 My list in order... SCVanguard - Always a crowd pleaser, its a shame they don't score better. LIGHT 'em up! Bluecoats - Show designs have been brilliant, fun to watch. Bloo will be the next new champion. Cadets - Always loved them. Hated all the narration last year but "10" was great... I still call 'em Garfield. Crown - Fun show to watch Phantom - Loved the Claire De Lune Honorable mention Blue Knights Rarely making my list is Blue Devils, indisputably excellent, but not interested in seeing their shows more than once. What was "re-write of spring" all about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn craig Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Crown Blue Knights Cadets Madison Troopers Phantom- While I enjoyed the show they weren't my fav this year which the ussually are, but when you redo favorite pieces, the arrangments need to be as good or better and they were not.

ouooga Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Wow, there were a lot more votes than I thought. I weighted everything (1st got 5 points, 5th got 1 point), unless someone said "in no particular order" in which case I gave every corps 3 points. Wife/fiancee/significant other votes were also counted. If there were ties, I gave both corps that amount of points. If you voted for more than five, well, that wasn't the game, so only your top five counted (unless you specified ties, of course). Also Bearwy only gave 5 points to the Troopers, not 14, but even at 14 their score wouldn't increase enough to catch Scouts. Enjoy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I find all of this most interesting and thank those who have attempted to quantify it. It's like a barrage of microscopic reviews! Have to say, many liked Crown! Congratulations are in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvphan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Now we just need some sort of DCP medal ceremony and trophy to award. DCP...the People's Choice Award equivalent for DCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emc2 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Regardless of the final placement this year at DCI my five most favorite shows of this summer were: 1. Bluecoats 2. Cadets 3. Madison Scouts 4. Santa Clara Vanguard 5. Cavaliers and/or Phantom Regiment BAC and BD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fischer Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) ouooga-- Outstanding! You take the Gold Medal for Visual Graph Performance with a score of 9.7! Looks like the community on this thread, overwhelmingly, favors show design that is drill, not prop, heavy; and design that highlights ensemble statements over individualized performance statements. I agree. My top 5: 1) Crown -- Visual demand on the musicians was off the charts. No other corps attempted anything close. To suggest otherwise is silliness. 2) 'Coats -- Super entertaining. Super cool design concept. If you haven't checked out the virtual choir, check it out. Very cool. 3) SCV -- Powerful musical ensemble. Awesome drill design. In Canton with the dim-ish lighting, the LED's looked sweet! 4) Troopers -- Not usually a fan, but this year they just gave it to us! Really liked their level of performance and energy. ...and the horses got away, they got away.... 5) Cadets -- George Zingali was somewhere smiling.... Honorable mention: BD -- I could listen to it all day on a loop. Cavies -- High energy the whole show. Loved it!
