As of today, 3,177 have died of Coronovirus in China since this outbreak began there in mid December. Out of 80,000 confirmed cases (its estimated many more went undiagnosed, and recovered on their own).
So is 3,000 dead people a lot or a little? Just trying to get a sense of what counts as tragic to you.

My understanding is they made an arranger change and said person wanted to bring their own team in. Happens all the time. Sounds more like some of the younger Crown folks. Much like when several went to Cavies a few years back.
Not sure the need to blow it up after championship season a year ago, but hindsight is... 2020. BD and Phantom getting major staff additions with these folks and it will be interesting to see if these changes for SCV can produce similar results as last 3 years. Tall order for sure with first time arranger and caption head. (Great pedigree obviously) Just one of a few fun storylines for next season!
Head scratcher. SCV wins an Ott for the first time in 30ish years and then cleans house two seasons later? I just hope the guys coming in are worthy.
Was Shaw asked to leave? Or did he move on his own accord? Was SCV getting rid of him because of the #metoo allegations?

Well, letting an arranger like Shaw go and losing their Ott winning brass caption head to another corps, I guess you decide? Sounds like a little step back, at least in music land. I’d assume the visual design with a Gaines/Toth around should still be very strong. Drums aren’t going away, so that should be a plus. Crazy that these changes pale in comparison to the massive overhaul that is The Cadets.
I totally understand that losing Shaw is a big deal but I’m wondering more about these VanDorens. I only know that the dude was on Crown’s brass staff. Is he well known and well regarded? Would like to know more...

yes with Shaw going to Phantom, Evan van Doren will write and his wife will be caption head
Guess I’m not in the know... but is this a good thing for SCV?

Yeah— no one dared to say this in the finals thread but #### did I think it.

No, I mean literally, you have no idea what's coming.
I would suggest everyone hold their 2020 predictions for a couple of weeks...
Agreed. I was feeling very confident for SCV to repeat this season, given their utter dominance last year over BD but here we are...

Guys, consider this: instead of blaming inconsistent judging on bias or bad numbers management or a broken system, couldn’t the inconsistency indicate how good the top 6 are relative to each other and the judges’ inability to differentiate the talent and design among the corps?

Congrats SCV on the bronze. Can’t help but feel that the design limited the corps, especially given the off-the-charts talent that they had this year. I can only hope that the design team next year can come up with something fresh yet coherent.

So happy for SCV! After becoming a fan in 1999 and seeing them in 4th place (and sometimes worst) for soooo long since then, it’s nice to see that they’ve medaled the past 3 years. Can’t wait for 2020! Looking at their age out numbers in percussion, seems like a five-peat in percussion isn’t out of the question!

Bookending his BD career with a ring and the Sanford...a nice way to age out for Brandon!
BD won drums tonight but the Sanford stayed home with SCV.

As a long-time homer, I concur!

Are we sure the tarps weren't just gone because of the field today? I'd be very surprised if the tarps are scrapped altogether
The smaller circular tarps that surrounded the Big One were on field. Framed the middle of the field rather neatly. I MUCH prefer it.
-
SCV’s giant tarp is gone and they look infinitely cleaner. Hopefully their visual score improves because of it.

So, SCV?
At least SCV can back it up with 2nd place Brass.

Congrats to SCV taking music! All subcaptions are tight except for percussion— SCV is unstoppable in that regard.

Footage of SCV's drumline being unbothered by some Crown bro disrupting their lot. Legendary.

Still lots of season left! SCV and BD are still within striking distance from Bloo.

Congrats to Bloo— looks like the season is theirs to lose. BD’s music caption might keep them from challenging for 1st. And SCV’s visual caption might keep them from challenging for 2nd.
And it seems that Crown might still have a shot at medaling. SCV needs to address their visuals if they want to keep Crown at bay. Oh when will the field their complete show?

Did SCV perform the full closer yet?

Can someone explain the Analysis subcaptions (both visual and music) please?

Good score from SCV tonight. They have been within a point from Bloo this entire season yet people on DCP have declared that they’re going to be 4th by season’s end. Such nonsense.
Just because you don’t like a show doesn’t it make it bad.

3,000 people died in 9/11 attack out of 300,000,000 Americans. 1 out of 300,000. Does that make the attack any less tragic?
The bigger point I'm trying to make is just because something is statistically insignificant doesn't mean it is insignificant.
