Scouts! http://www.madisonscouts.org/2019/09/madison-scouts-announce-2020-design-team/?fbclid=IwAR35vuDpsyPr_zRjMDzc9_MqGCe10fA82N8dAzsYLjeKgcb4MDEApL8mt30

The irony of you saying that when the post you quoted mentions that you called respecting a person's identified gender as "mad" and "idiocy" is rich. But I'm straying too far into politics now. The purpose of this thread has been met for this season, and I'm backing out.

When basic respect of others is considered "mad" and "lunacy..." Yeah, I think I've got a pretty clear picture already.

I usually trust Prosperie's judgement, but I feel his hands were tied with the "2 yard" rule, and there were some placements (even just for one night) that felt very off. As I've told friends already, Crown's deserved bronze medal is sitting in the 0.3 chasm between them and the next corps ahead of them in percussion, a gap I believe is much too large.

I've talked with alumni, I've heard the plan that corps staff has publicly disclosed to try to move forward. The "death of the organization" line is a hyperbole that should ONLY be met with humorous responses, because unless the staff catastrophically miscalculated their membership's investment in the program this year, Madison's not going away anytime in the foreseeable future.

I'm sure both of you are just a smash at parties.

Five corps in their current placements are within a point of setting a new DCI record for such placements. If placements hold and scores hold or increase: Crossmen will shatter their own record (from last year) for highest 12th place score ever (86.750) Phantom Regiment have a good shot at the highest 11th place score of all time (2005 Glassmen, 87.700) Mandarins are only a quarter point away from the record score for 10th place (1988 Suncoast Sound, 89.100) Cadets will join 2013 Madison, 1992 BK, and 2004 Boston in the 90 point 9th place club, only 0.425 away from Boston's record of 90.525. Crown is 0.912 away from eclipsing 2013 Vanguard for the highest 4th place score of all time.

I'm bummed that is has to have the qualification of, "but if BDB and SCVC were here...," but it is absolutely wonderful to see them performing on Friday night once again!

Yup. Kinda bummed they couldn't stick around until the latest batch of scores were announced, but the top 15 are in theaters tonight instead.

I'm so glad the West Coast decided to stop being top-heavy and beefed up it lower Finals and high Semis representation. Such a unique vibe to every show.

One bad thing about watching the shows live outdoors... you completely miss the fact that the triangles light up in different colors. Probably why we didn't get the seizure warning last week.

Pac Crest seemed like a group that never capitalized on the momentum of a good show the previous year... until this year. Holy cow, you may be looking at your next First Time Finalist in a few years.

Even more reasons for the dino alumni to love it, even if it doesn't help their score at all!

MOTO SUUUUUUUUUUUUUURF!

Cascades need to beat 73.600 to make Semis. Will they do it?

RCR 71.075 Guardians 70.975 7th 70.475 Southwind 72.363 Louisiana Stars 73.600 Gold 76.775 Legends 78.075 Spartans 80.400

Kick Colts out, put this in the theater show.

Mercy.

I'm not ready for this hit at Shallow.

Lordy. And there's still one MORE Open Class group.

Yeah, nothing about this is Open Class except for the lack of a full tour schedule. Good lord, and there are two groups that scored HIGHER in Open Class this year?!?!

Ask and ye shall receive!

Heat Wave 60.050 Les Stentors 63.150 Raiders 62.450 Colt Cadets 64.425 Shadow 66.300 Golden Empire 68.475
