You do realize that each caption is scored by a different judge, and the captions are added up at the end to get the final score right? So your saying that every single judge (or at least a majority) on the panel is corrupt and is out for a particular corps. I think many of us forget how difficult it is to assess these corps when they are all competing at such a high level. Just enjoy the show and forget about scores. If you think the kids are getting hurt by the scores anyway you are very wrong. None of those kids are going to remember the number that they got at finals, they are going to remember all the awesome moments, experiences and memories that they collected while on tour.
Also its not that Crown's percussion is terrible or anything. The level of playing at the top is just so high. Go watch some lot vids from Cadets, SCV, BD, and Bluecoats and tell me that Crown shouldn't be in the spot they are in now.
You are my hero
Also something to remember, These captions are only weighted half as much as they were in the past because of the new scoring system with double GE judges.
