2023 DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

Anyone know what the attendance numbers were for Indy? I’m sure it’s been answered somewhere in the thread but I don’t wanna look😂 -
Way Too Early DCI 2024 Discussion
Vidal28Rdg replied to IllianaLancerContra's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Currently at the moment you need probably 19.9s minimum from all judges to match, potentially exceed BD in GE, and the corps right beneath them weren’t some massive gap off away from them on the score sheets themselves when it comes to what they put out there, so even throwing point 15 out there sounds odd to me. Some folks are arguing every corps has gimmicks, and to a degree they’re not wrong, even BD. lots of semantics with the discussion as to what words define what GE truly is when it is discussed, even when referencing the word-for-word writing as rigid of the caption when there is room for interpretation obviously. Using words such as demand, clarity, gimmickry, cleanliness, variety, etc. mean different things to different people a lot of the time. As far as I’m concerned, 20’s on the sheets for GE that a corps earns could be earned in a multitude of ways by the sound of it! Personally, I never go into a show to see who has the most “effective” show, never have I said “**** that’s some GE right there!!” for any particular moment. I just go in trying to feel something, and that’s all I wanna get from any show from any corps, that’s all for me mainly. -
Way Too Early DCI 2024 Discussion

I am usually an optimist, many folks will probably argue 2023 exceeded 2022 in terms of the overall quality of shows and corps, I feel the same will be true for 2024. For me personally, there hasn’t been a show for me that have really made an INSANE monumental impact for me since the 2010’s in the moment when watching live, although some shows definitely have great re-watchability and are fantastic earworms(bluecoats lately especially). Purely a personal take of course, I hope 2024 has that for me, I still think that corps will continue to get better next summer🫡 -
Carolina Crown 2023
Vidal28Rdg replied to MadisonBandMan1's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Oh yes I know, that’s why I said they did music GE in particular. I do think Crown will have a steady GE score this time around, especially when they were able to take one of the 4 judges away from BD, it bodes well. -

2018, SCV’s hornline sent me to another plane of existence, haven’t had that replicated since live with any corps so I am indebted to them🙏🫡 while this corps isn’t as powerful as I imagine 2012-14 Crown was, never saw them live, I did appreciate all the little snippets and bits that you heard that remind you of ‘12-‘13 and ‘15-‘16 when I heard them live. Couldn’t say that about last year AT ALL…that’s the difference this year with Crown, plus I think the show subject is catered for them, the uniforms are quite cool, etc. etc. haha -
Carolina Crown 2023

Crownies must be very happy of the result tonight, GE music judge that gave them first happens to be one of my past HS band directors, every time I see his name on the sheets, usually music analysis, music GE, i know he will have a pretty favorable opinion for Crown🫡 -
To each their own!🫡🫡 I know there’s various corps that employ the *shimmering* visual eye catcher to their uniforms, notably Boston this year with their front of their uniforms simulating the ocean blue, which I thought was cool to see in Denton earlier this year, BD has done it various years, I personally don’t find myself ever disliking it!
