loopin' froot loops

Well, thank you for clearing that up! I recant my rationale, but I still think it'd be plausible to give a few corps the full 10/20 in the Achievement sub-box if they earned it.

In 2004 Quarterfinals, didn't BD go on in the #2 slot? If so, then there's no reason why just because you don't play last doesn't mean you can't get a 20.

There will be a tie somewhere in the top 3, and/or in the 9-12 area. Also, top 4 will not be the same order all 3 nights

Dave Glyde composes the music score (think of it as a piano score), and Wayne arranges his music for the brass line.

Just realized the G7 is occupying the top 7 seeded slots in Prelims. Let the conspiracy theories begin!

Personally, I'd wouldn't mind one bit if this panel was judging Finals night. Their numbers are anything BUT predictable, and that makes it exciting!

Crown touched the cup. They're doomed.

Double post

All we're missing is the soloist in a Picture-In-Picture with endzone shot in the big picture & we'll have successfully transported back to mid-80s cinematography..

This feed is only doing one thing for us here in regards to Crown, and that's exposing how dirty their percussion truly is.

Had to switch to "high" cam to watch SCV again. I can deal with sub-par video quality to watch those circles hit like magic.

Just came to the realization this will be the first vanguard video that won't show the circles drill because the triangle player is more important...

Better effort on the Sound now. At least (I think) they're working on it.. Just turn down the pit cymbal mic.

You had ONE Job.

Rough night for the trumpet soloist

Oh, man. There's only so much constipated-face vibe girl I can take being shown, and 2 minutes into the second corps they've hit my limit.

So, how many close-ups of Phantom's awful witch/queen/puppet are we going to get? I'm going to say no less than 4.

"Boy, the clouds sure are pretty", says the DM cameraman.

Something tells me this is a test run for whichever company they hired to do the finals live stream.

Aw crap, Sound sucks again

Fantastic quality so far on my end. Hoping it stays this way through the rest of the week!

I think it's more likely we'll see a tie this year than 2+ placements swaps (meaning, for example, 3rd/4th as well as 9th/10th).

The TOC Finale is being broadcast live tonight on Fan Network. With the scrambled line-up, will we see any position changes from last night's TOC show? Will the winning corps actually touch the TOC cup, or will there be superstitions about it like in the NHL? Will the stream actually work flawlessly tonight? I'm looking forward to the final week of the 2013 season! All times are EST: 7ish p.m. Stream Begins 7:40 p.m. The Cadets 7:57 p.m. Phantom Regiment 8:14 p.m. Santa Clara Vanguard 8:31 p.m. Intermission 9:01 p.m. Carolina Crown 9:18 p.m. Bluecoats 9:35 p.m. Blue Devils 9:52 p.m. Cavaliers 10:07 p.m. Encore & Awards Ceremony

I going to point you towards SCV 1988/1989

After hearing the crowd response after the show yesterday, I feel like this needs to be posted. As the title suggests, if Blue Devils win the title this year, will some of you actually start riots? What about boycotting the activity? Is it really that much of an uproar that 150 kids doing what show they're taught beats another set of 150 kids, working just as hard all summer, doing the show they're taught? Just think, a lot of us clamor for the activity to grow, yet this is how react to the results? How do you think this looks to outsiders if that was their first ever awards ceremony? If you were one of those who have ever booed the results at a DCI show, then I'd like to know why. In my opinion, it's totally acceptable to not agree with the results & talk about it afterwards, but it's completely disrespectful to the other kids out there to boo them & not even applaud their efforts. So, if you or somebody you know feel it's completely ok to boo the results & shout profanities (which were clearly heard last night), would you care to explain why this might be an ok reaction? What makes that more acceptable than golf claps or no reaction at all? This might get closed, but if you have a legitimate reason why it's ok to act in that matter, then please feel free to explain. Maybe I'm just not geared to react that way. Edit- This is not written for, nor intended for any personal attacks to occur. It's simply done to peacefully & respectfully hear another point of view.
