#### IT! THE TRANSITIVE PROPERTY DOES NOT WORK IN DRUM CORPS!

I voted BD '82. But after watching 94 a few times, I almost regret it. 1982 was great and all, but '94... Idk, can't really describe it.

OT here, but is the "goodbye" in your signature inclusive of the yardstick? Because I'm pretty sure those are legal instruments in DCI.

Coincidentally enough, that is also what "she" said.

Because I'm sure the DCI of the 70's and 80's would've spent six figures opening a #### roof. Good point.

"IMO" means "In MY Opinion" I did not claim my analysis to be fact. And to your statement " Corps should be judged on their performance each year regardless of what they've done in the past. I don't think it's right that there are politics in this activity, but it's something we can't change," what shred of evidence do you have that this is true? This is what DCI's judges are taught. This is why a corps like Phantom Regiment can drop all the way to ninth a year after winning with one of the most legendary shows in the history of drum corps. This is why Crown won a medal this year, despite the fact they have never before. So unless you provide ACTUAL evidence to the contrary, your claims will continue to sound like sour grapes. Oh and Crown got a 10/10 in a music subcaption. Did they play every note in tune, with perfect releases and perfect tone quality throughout the entire show? Not a chance.

I commented on how you are coming across, as I have no way of actually knowing how you feel. One last question, are you aware that DCI no longer runs on the tick system? Therefore perfect 10's, 20's, and 30's are subjective.

Shouldn't this concern be brought to DCI's attention, rather than ours?

Honestly it's very hard to take you seriously when you continue to imply that DCI would fix the scores. Besides, if they were to fix the scores, wouldn't make a lot more business sense to make it so the underdog wins? I dunno, call me crazy, but I don't see what DCI has to gain by making sure that the Blue Devils win YET AGAIN, while Crown, who: "did have a better show that was harder and more demanding, musically and visually, than the Blue Devils did and they performed better than Blue Devils did." would lose. And again, if the fans hated BD so much in comparison to Crown, why would they fix it so that the crowd's champion gets second? IMO, you're reaching for something to justify a show that you enjoyed more losing to a show that you despised. And I don't know if you saw the Blue Devils live, but they performed the #### out of that show. They did not have a single weakness in the corps.

You do realize that you're accusing DCI of fixing the scores because they felt bad about the Blue Devils losing last year right? Are you aware of how ridiculous that sounds?

Definitely won't happen in 2010.

I think you'll see this happen at least once, if not multiple times within the next ten years. It appears to me that BDB and SCVC are in a class of their own now in Open class.

Haven't marched, never will, and am a music major.

I get the feeling that your book consists entirely of Crown and Phantom.

It was a fun battle, but it would've been much better had they been going back and forth for #1.

I believe this was the "good things of 2009" poll. Not the "why dci sucks" poll.

This thread should be titled: "some season ending thoughts about Crown and one sentence about BD so no one thinks this is another Crown thread"

2009- Sky Blue Maria Schneider wins.

First off, I would be confused as to why that man is walking backward down the street. Then I would realize that moving backwards on the balls of your feet makes the most sense for balance. Or were you talking about going forwards? Because if you were then you have a definite misconception of how the technique works.

LOL. Since when do the judges feel compelled to vote against vocals?

They really just do whatever is comfortable.

When I start to lose interest in the last few minutes of this show, I start listening to the bassline. Then I start giggling. Good lord I wish they didn't play Dynasties so you could actually hear them throughout the show. Freakin' killer line.
