How important is seeding heading into prelims and how are results heading into finals determined - do they only take into account prelims and semis or also the regional results? For prelims, they'll perform in reverse order based on the average scores from SA, Atlanta/Winston-Salem and Allentown. Results from Prelims will determine Semis line up (top 25) and performance order, and results from Semis will determine Finals lineup (top 12) and performance order.

JohnD Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Recaps wrong for The Company in DrumScorps. Missing Music 1 scores. Total in stadium was 66.5. Recaps show 59.95. DCI recap has zeros for GE 2 Visual judge. GIGO posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jwillis35 Posted August 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Didn't get to see everyone tonight. Had to call bingo for the corps. But I caught BD and Cadets 2. Loved Cadets2. As for Blue Devils, my feeling about them at the beginning of the season was that the show was mostly unbeatable. I still think it is. They are simply so good at what they do. The show is built around that awesome music book. They may not do traditional marching as often as other corps, but they showcase so many types of visual styles...all of which they exhibit stellar technique in performance. They space things out so appropriately. They use the field in many ways. They stage their soloists well, and their guard is simply fantastic! The demands that are put on their brass and percussion in terms of style changes, meter, tempo, chromatic passages, range, and phrasing are really a big level above most other corps, and slightly better than their closest peers (Crown, Bloo, SCV). BD's brass is forced to play in extreme ranges, often ranges that would be uncomfortable to many musicians. Couple that with the musical demand in tempo, key, rhythm, style, etc. and you have a monster line. I realize Crown has been winning brass a lot, and deservedly so, but I feel this BD line may beat them come finals. It will be close. I feel the greater demand is slightly in favor of BD. As for the park and bark that many do not like...I LOVE IT!!!! I was a huge fan of the concert numbers back in the 70s and 80s. BD gives us a glimpse into the concert number with these short park and blows, and who does a park and blow better than BD?! No one. The whole show is just on another level at this moment. I love SCV too, and of course I still think Canton may push into the top 3; but IMO it will take a miracle for anyone to topple the Blue Devils.

Bama Belle Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 For those asking about what Phantom Regiment's show is about (from the website): This seductive, powerful character begins life solely as an invasion of mind, but quickly becomes something more, blurring the lines between beauty, madness, and desire. Forced to confront the enemy within, newfound strength leads to an awakening, and phantasy gives way to reality… It's about being infatuated with something that isn't real. That's why the members are reaching out and crawling toward the girl in the beginning. When they change to the white hats it represents the willingness to face reality and live in the present and be free from isolating ("All By Myself"- Rachmaninoff) things that will destroy you. To me it "fits" more than the random title"Metamorph" for the Blue Devils show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well...., In a lot of ways they are, but they compete at the DCA level. They cap their age at 26 (with a few exceptions), however most of what you just saw were high school kids ages 15 to 18. In a sense they are of the same age and experience of a BDB or SCVC, but they are a weekend corps only. They are not touring during the week days. It makes more sense for them to compete weekends since the East Coast is loaded with some good DCA competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Last couple of years the BD have gained almost 4 points in 15 and around 3 points last year. So, they could be looking at around 99 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
