WAAAAAAAAY Too Early Caption Comparisons from Midwest and West Coast Premieres


Recommended Posts

The DCI Season is officially upon us! Which means, lots of futile comparisons of corps performing across the country from each other... 

HOWEVER. 

Three judges judged both the Tour Premiere in Detroit AND the MidCal Showcase in Clovis. While "different show, different day" is certainly in play here, judging on back-to-back days in the same caption may certainly give an early idea of where some judges are tying the two (soon to be three) tours together. So without further ado, here are the rankings of those 15 World and Open Class corps by these three judges:

BRASS  (Albert Lo)

1. Santa Clara Vanguard - 14.6
2. Bluecoats - 14.5
3. Blue Devils - 14.3
4. Carolina Crown - 14.2
5. The Cavaliers - 13.7
6. Boston Crusaders - 13.5
7. Blue Knights - 13.1
8. Phantom Regiment - 12.8
9. The Academy - 12.7
10. Blue Stars - 12.6
11. Mandarins - 12.5
12. Troopers - 11.6
13. Blue Devils B - 11.2
14. Vanguard Cadets - 10.6
15. Blue Devils C - 6.3

there is a mistype under Cavaliers. Rich Saucedo gave them a 14.6 which would put them first in his caption.

  DCP already has a section for overall scores, and caption breakdowns. Its been on here and utilized by us DCP'ers for years too. Its under the DCP " Scores and Stats tab "... then under " Caption Ranking System ".  Perhaps the OP is simply  unaware and/ or unfamiliar with it  ?. DCP even ranks the Corps throughout the season on here too.

 3 years ago the Blue Knights got a good score the 1st week... despite not having a closer on the field.... at all. They basically stood at attention till the last couple of minutes " completed " their show and time. One would naturally assume under such circumstances their Visual scores/ GE Music scores would jump once they put in at least SOME closer of at least SOME  kind. But once they did, they were going head to head with Corps in their peer group placement mix, and so there basically was no substantive change witnessed at all.  So yes, the head to head match ups are the most critical. Plus, judges are human too. Like all of us, they prefer to get extended times to see/ hear all the Corps more than once... especially with Corps adding/ deleting things in their shows left and right. They're all making changes of some sort in the early going. Every Corps is,.

Yeah, those spreads and rankings would likely be different even if with those same judges at a head to head show.
