    Blood tests, endoscopies, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans. I've had them all.

    Oh, did you mean the drum corps scores? I enter the results into a spreadsheet loaded with formulas (formulae? forumulai? formica?). Only Wed-Sat scores are considered. The formulas compare the results against prior scoring margins to determine if the scores are progressing in a reasonable fashion of if they are jumping all over the place. Dampening or boosting factors are added to specific shows if they calculate significantly above or below other recent shows. Daily progressions are then calculated to give every corps a score for that day, even if they did not perform. Then I add a dash of magic (or bs, depending on your opinion) to get the final results, and extrapolate the weekly rating forward to guesstimate a season-ending score.

    OOPS!! I meant the scores....... the other stuff is none of my business. I'm just happy to hear you're on the road to remission and wishing you the best going forward.

    We will see how this plays out next month in Indy..................

    But for right now, today July 16th, 2023...........it sure brings a smile to my face to see Mandarins sandwiched between two heavyweight prize fighters Crown and Phantom. 

    Keep it up Mandarins!

    For purely selfish reasons with nothing to do with my like of the Mandarins, I hope they get the top draw in their block.

    San Antonio - Draw for Order of Appearance

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    Posted

    Order for the DCI Southwestern Championship in San Antonio (July 22), will be based on reverse order of placement from July 15 events in Fort Collins, Little Rock and Rockford and drawn at random in groups of threes. Corps not appearing in any of those events will be placed in the order based on their last score received.

    **Blue Stars & Troopers are tied. Do they flip a coin to determine which group of 3? Or is there another way to make the determination?

    Here are the scores from the July 15 events in Fort Collins, Little Rock and Rockford:

    1    Blue Devils                89.600
    2    Boston Crusaders    88.100
    3    Bluecoats                 86.700
    _______________________________
    4    Carolina Crown         86.200 
    5    Mandarins                 83.850
    6    Phantom Regiment   83.250
    _______________________________
    7    The Cadets        82.6009    
    8    The Cavaliers     81.050
    9    Blue Stars          80.900**
    _______________________________
    9    Troopers            80.900**
    11    Colts                  79.650
    12    Pacific Crest     78.150
    _______________________________
    13    Blue Knights       76.150
    14    Crossmen           75.900 
    15    The Academy     75.450
    _______________________________
    16    Spirit of Atlanta      75.300
    17    Madison Scouts     75.050    
    18    Music City              73.100
    _______________________________
    19    Genesis                    70.050
    20   Seattle Cascades    65.300

    BAC alumni are watching closely.  Quietly.  That’s how lions are successful hunters and sailors successful fishermen.  Mixing metaphors a bit, lol.  Until you beat someone it’s best you stay quiet until you do.  Then when you beat someone, be a respectful gracious winner.  No matter what, this show is a benchmark for the end game in Indy.

    That's a good reason.

    But truthfully we're all taking naps!! It's going to be a late night. Scores are being announced after midnight!

    It's interesting you say that. Because I remember back in 2013 when Crown beat BD at DATR, a BD honk who no longer post here on DCP said almost exactly what you just said regarding altitude.

    And this forum ate him alive.

    Things I remember being said......."No excuses!!!.............. Crown won, BD lost deal with it......................Oh look, BD fans trying to justify their loss to Crown by saying they couldn't breathe................Altitude isn't an excuse as everyone has to perform in it....................Not our fault BD isn't in as good as shape as the Crown performers."

    Certainly not bashing you or Crown in anyway shape or form. I am speaking more in general.

    It's just interesting how a narrative can shift pending the corps we support/ root for. 

     

    You won't hear any altitude excuses from Boston tonight!
