What about the other 20 or so corps? You can’t enjoy them because you don’t like one corps?

Please, Mr. Fart is his father. You can just call him Contra.

Most?

For a few people, sure. And for a few BD fans it was the same thing in the other direction.

I’ve seen people do that with respect to every corps.

Nobody’s show is “for everyone”.

And classical.

As someone who just completed their masters in computer science with an emphasis on AI, I have no idea what most of you are talking about. Which, I think, is probably something we have in common. 😃

I feel like a lot of posts on DCP could include this.

Not everyone is going to like the same kinds of music, so if a corps that you don't get into wins most years, I can see where that would be a bit of a bummer. But look on the bright side. You can watch every corps you DO like and then beat the traffic home.

I love both the Blue Devils and Phantom (most years) but I would NOT like it if they traded genres. They are good at what they are good at.

Ironically, I think it was the Blue Devils who changed their ways and came back to playing more entertaining shows more often from 2014 on. A lot of people just couldn't get into shows like 2010 and 2012, but that doesn't make them hateful.

Meh, on DCP these days I see more posts complaining about people disliking BD than posts actually disliking BD.

Can’t see that without thinking of Heathers.

I switched from my TV (from laptop via HDMI) speakers to directly on my AIO with decent headphones and the sound quality was 1000% better. Pretty sure my old home theater was not as good either. Maybe it’s hard to compete with direct sound without bouncing around a room from speakers that don’t have to be big because they are right next to your ears. Not to mention a screen that can handle high resolution fast because it can be small since I am only a foot away. Sure, it lacks some comforts but I got used to watching DCI on a 6 inch screen at my college library in 1984. I’ll enjoy comforts at the theater on Prelims night. 🙂

In 1996, Phantom tied BD for the gold on finals night. At quarterfinals just 2 night earlier, they were 3.7 points behind BD.

You just mostly stay indoors during the summer, like people do other places during the winter. It all evens out when you put up Christmas lights in a tee shirt and shorts.

What’s your explanation then for why judges in several different categories scored PC lower vs Crossmen than the previous judges? Do you believe they are all corrupt or incompetent coincidentally in the same direction? Were they directed to score things differently by someone in DCI? Is there a conspiracy?

That would fit the love triangle aspect.

Old me: I want a 2 way tie for 3rd New me: I want a 3 way tie for 2nd

Looks like the difference makers were GE 2, VA and drums.

Earlier I said: I want to see a two-way tie for third. I would like to amend that and say: I want to see a three-way tie for second.

Maybe people were adding content and complexity?

Man, there's a real melt-up on the Crown thread right now.

Making a lot of little changes maybe?
