Here, here!

I'll second that. I will also add that it's tough hoping that they get video of my div II corps since the family day stuff is just Okay. To support a corps all summer and not be able to get a good video. My very wine-eee. Sorry for that. Seriously, I've seen Impulse three or four times and loved their show. SCVC brings it every night. OC and AA are awesome. I can't wait to see the others when I get to Madison on Friday. DCI would do well to put some additional focus on Div II and III since the calibur of the corps is seriously increasing and from a fan perspective, very entertaining.

DCP Veteran, Thanks for the feedback. I agree. I think you need to do this because you want to, almost have to. The scores make it interesting, a little calibration would be nice, but hey. Fairly Biased-ly yours, Timpfan-ly

Ok, so as of now "fairly biased" is my favorite two word combination. Again, I'm new to this, but the scores seem so flexible night to night. Especially at the shows that don't have Div I corps performing. It's been a fun season though.

BTW, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in those Wisconsin scores. BDB went down two points after last night in Wisconsin. OC went down more than a point after Iowa last night as well. Same judges, same field. OC, AA, ECJ and Spartans; it's anyone's ball game. AA fans shouldn't count the old chickens. ECJ has a great show, so does OC and Spartans. It should be great.

Okay, so this is my first year in this thing. I'm wondering about score consistency. Last night in Racine, WI, BDB got an 89.1 and ECJ got an 89.9. Tonight, according to fairly biased reports, both were great (but was told OC was better). If that's the case, how did BDB go down almost two points and ECJ go up almost two points? I would love to compare the captions but we haven't even seen the posted scores from Racine last night. Any guidance on this?

I heard 81.3 but I was on the other end of a cell phone.

I'm not sure, the cell phone was bad. I apologize. We sitting here bummed wondering how we took a two point drop in one night! AAgghh! The only major difference was one of our five tenor players was rushed to the hosipital with a fever.

Div II scores 91.7 ECJ 91.275 OC 88.725 SCVC 87.525 BDB 78.775 Jubal 61.50 Colt Cadets

By my calculations that makes the DIV II prelims as follows (in reverse oder by Michigan City, IN score) 1. ECJ (91.7) 2. AA (91.35 3. OC (91.275) 4. Spartans (91.1) 5. SCVC (88.725) 6. BDB (87.525) 7. Jersey Surf (84.95) 8. Memphis Sound (83.6) 9. Teal Sound (79.975) 10. Jubal (78.775) 11. Colt Cadets (61.5) 1.-4. is awfully crowded. If I was a betting man, I wouldn't bet on this one.

Blue Saints 47.72 Racine Scouts 54.225 Target 55.150 Spirit of Newark, NH 56.00 HYPE 67.75 Raiders 80.35 Blue Saints 80.56 Impulse 81.30 Revolution 82.35 DIV II Colt Cadets 61.5 Jubal 78.775 BDB 87.525 SCVC 88.725 OC 91.275 ECJ 91.70 !!! (that's higher than AA, same judges as last night, same field)

morganhill, What was your impression of the different corps?

All I know are the top two div II scores. ECJ 89.9 BDB 89.1

I just got a call from the stadium but, sorry, only heard the silver and gold Div II scores. ECJ 89.95 BDB 89.10

Anyone see this show? I'm still stuck in California. I wanted to hear some impressions if possible.
