brichtimp Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 2014 BD was absolutely seamless, apart from a couple of rifle drops; and their transitions and soloists were simply deluxe. That show was also a master class on effective staging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO VANGUARD! 19 years between titles, or 19th title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 99+ typically needs one really strong corps compared to the field. While SCV is awesome, Devs and Cloats are not that far behind. Toss Crown in for brass and even Boston in the mix for guard...there will simply be too much caption splitting this year. Much like 2016...whoever walks away with GE will be your 2018 dci champ.

I didn't get to see BD live! this year. ALWAYS one of my favorites. The Vanguard has been dominating this year (one point wins are big) but historically scores always tighten for quarters and semis, then settle into rank order with clear spreads for the top few corps. Winner gets 97, then 96, 95, 94, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilme861 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 High 98s is my best guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Going to be 99+. The top score will be pushed up by some pretty amazing corps right below - along with SCV’s incredibly strong individual captions. Will it be enough to top 99.625? I say no at this point. But, I would not be surprised if it happens. Edited August 9, 2018 by drumcorpsfever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIDADDIO Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I doubt the record is in jeopardy. As others have noted, you need a LOT of captions locked at #1. The concerns in captions would be Brass (Crown has been winning), Guard (BD and Boston). But you can probably chalk up a w in Percussion, GE, VP ( were at a 19.500 most recently) MA, but I'm guessing a 98.85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recent VP score is a 19.500. I agree Brass and Guard are an uphill climb w/ BD, Boston, Crown, Bloo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWonder1911 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Captions have been going to upwards of 5 different corps. That pulls scores down quite a bit to a lower denominator. I don't see how it's possible SCV gets a 99. Like I said before, I can't see how they can even get more than 98. Unless the Finals night judges start with a higher base score. But they've almost never done that. I still stand by a winning score of 98 or just below it. Let's say 97.90. Not that it matters much. SCV winning another title will be cool to see. IF it happens. No records need be broken to enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
