Yeah, but they can use it for motivation for next year! I'm really excited to watch the Thunder for the next several years.

Its funny that you mentioned this. I actually view DCI as a sport and I think DCI thinks of itself as a sport since they want to be called "marching music's major league". Kids in drum corps are great athletes and their work ethic is probably right up there with professional athletes. Having said that, sports are a competition where teams or in this case, corps compete against one another and are scored. Just like the major sports (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) DCI holds a World Championships and they crown a champion at the end. Probably the main difference between DCI and major sports is that these kids are amateurs and they learn the spirit of competition, building long-time friendships, responsibility and every other life skill that DCI has to offer. But I do believe that corps want to win and I do not have a problem with BD thinking they are going to win the championship every year. Anyone who has played competitive sports hates the feeling of losing and I do not think there are 'moral victories'. Losing makes you work harder and makes you not get complaisant. For some corps, making the top 12 at DCI Finals might be their victory, but I think part of the Blue Devil's success is measured in championships. Wanting to win should not make a person or an organization a horrible entity. Let's all just enjoy the season and I think my OKC Thunder need to watch the beginning of that video!!!!
