Please give that trophy bad! Happened in DCA in 2007. Buccaneers were announced as winning best color guard at DCA Finals... turned out there was a tabulation error, and the Bushwackers actually took the caption. I was the PA guy that night and had to announce the correction. Not fun. LOL. It was a "hey... don't shoot the messenger" moment. There is another part of that story which I won't share here in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. I wonder if Cadets are now considered "underdogs" in the top echelon? In the past 5 years: BD medaled 5 times. Crown medaled 4 times. Bloo medaled 3 times. Cadets medaled 2 times.

To everyone other than the ones you mentioned Cadets record would be an epic success and one the rest only strive to be. All depends on where one sits I suppose.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD, for another example, enters each DCI season as the odds on favorite to win DCI. Finishing 2nd is good, but disappointing. Finishing 6th, ( as Cadets did last season ) would be considered a collosal placement disaster of epic proportions for BD ( FAR worse than Cadets finishing 6th for example ) as BD has not fallen below 5th place in DCI since 1974, over 40 years ago. Several current WC Corps on the other hand, don't even have wet dreams of ever finishing above 10th place anytime soon ( haha!). So sure, its " funny ", but entirely understandable, that where one sits on the DCI placements totem pole does shape one's annual expectations on things.
