This was an interesting year for Div. II... exciting and fun.
I would like to say that both Academy and ECJ had good shows: both were entertaining and both corps worked hard. Congrats to ECJ for the noticably smaller margin of points between you and Academy at Finals... impressive.
I know the kids at ECJ are good people... I know many of them. If anyone has lost respect for the corps due to a few members, that is very unfortunate. Also, Josh-- it was very respectful of you to post another statement. I don't know many people who would do that. I also had believed that ECJ won the Focus show overall, but of course they had not faced Academy head-on, which is why I wasn't going to think further on it. So do know you're not the only one who had had that thought. :)
Anyway... interesting thread. Second ECJ vs. other corps discussion post-finals in two years... last year it was the whole "Who really won" thing (silver vs. gold medalist discussion)... and no, I'm not trying to rehash that... I already know.
