afd Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 SCV is gonna win. Hands down they have that total package. I saw that at Standford. They will go unbeaten and the real competition is from 2-4th. Yes...SCV is just that much better. And they deserve it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it today's DCI...they have all the goods. And I disagree. They deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadets, Bluecoats, BD and SCV. I find this very interesting, perhaps also a testament to how much more competitive the upper echelon has been compared to the past. Exactly right. People seem to forget that these top corps are so good now that a finish in 6th seems like a disappointing season but in this year, 6th place would have been a medalist just 5 years ago if not less. Just another example with Madison being down as low as they are in the placements. Granted their show isn't the best show they've had in recent years but they are still a great group that would probably be around that 12th place spot in the past but have dropped down. The big names in DCI have to move down if other corps are ever going to challenge for their spots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an interesting call by one judge that dropped then in a caption they never had an issue with all year. It was enough to cost the finals. Also the only year of the "associates championship" (those not making finals). The Crossmen score had them good enough for 8th on finals night in 1979. Anyone with the Crossmen at the time knows this fact. I know this is still a sensitive issue w/ Crossmen. Admittedly, I know the story from a Trooper-centric perspective. They did by far the best run of their season that day. Concerning the associates championship - yes Crossmen won it by like 8 points. However, my original thesis was that Academy, as well as several other Corps in the 13-15 (or maybe 16) range can make the Saturday show. The key is to leave it all on the field Friday.

That year, Genesis was in sixth place and 9.75 pts. behind Oregon. And Music City was in eight place and 11.40 pts. behind Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
