That set looks good... Here's hoping they leapfrog over a couple of corps, especially that other one from Jersey.

I spoke to Ream. It's too cold for it to be his fault. :P

Ut oh...no updates...hope the power didn't go out or something.

<---wearing his '03 ring for good luck

So, scores for open class in case you're interested (lowest to highest so far) Sunrisers: 77.70 (0.0) Skyliners: 79.15 (0.0) Frontier: 80.288 (0.0) Music City Legend: 80.613 (0.0) Crusaders: 82.438 (0.0) Kilties: 84.213 (0.0) CorpsVets: 87.363 (0.0) Hurricanes; 88.263 (0.0)

Nice score for the Hurcs! GO HAWTHORNE! Oh, sorry, too early. :P

I hope it doesn't get so bad that they have to stop the show again.

So Class A Finals looks like this: (Order of Appearance) SoCal Dream 74.525 White Sabers 75.500 Govies: 78.900

Liquor 43 does a good job warming up the insides. Ask Jami Mills about the stuff from my flask at ACC's.

I'm here in Central Jersey today, and it is still pouring.

no scores for the other 2 corps yet?

I hope they can continue the show at some point. But we've been getting hammered in NJ all day. :( A suggestion to the Moderators: Pin this topic. :) GO HAWTHORNE!

Just a bit of a warning to those that are interested. NJ has a rule that you are required to have a minimum of 60 college credits to be working with kids. Now, if WVHS has worked around this (it can be done, beinig hired by the band parents assoc, etc) then all is good, but if not, it could be a problem. I was affected by this personally when I was teaching a couple of years ago. That being said, good luck WVHS!!

Yeah that's fun, but the encore inside the stadium is best! :)

Scientific Scoring Predictions. (Note, if a corps didn't perform in at least 6 shows the numbers didn't work right) Corps. . . . . . .Prelims. . . . . . . . .Score Bucs . . . . . . .97.297 . . . . . . . . .98.420 Empire . . . . . .96.222 . . . . . . . . .97.363 Cabs . . . . . . .95.106 . . . . . . . . .96.302 Bush . . . . . . .94.597 . . . . . . . . .95.383 Brigs. . . . . . .91.974 . . . . . . . . .93.231 Hurcs. . . . . . .86.263 . . . . . . . . .87.061 Cru. . . . . . . .81.884 . . . . . . . . .84.080 White Sabers . . .76.481 . . . . . . . . .77.928 Sky. . . . . . . .75.978 . . . . . . . . .76.627 I realize this isn't everyone. However, the formula I used to crunch these numbers provides unrealistic scores if there are not enough shows to draw from (Nobody is getting a 100. :P) NOTE: This is for entertainment purposes only. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Some settling may occur during shipment. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear

Weighted Scores: Bucs - 92.974 Empire - 92.764 Bush - 91.576 Cabs - 91.206 MBI - 89.244 Brigs - 87.200 Carolina Gold - 77.150 Corps Vets - 78.522 Hurcs - 83.422 Cru - 76.063 Sky - 75.636 Kilts - 79.628 Sun - 72.633 MCL - 71.403 Frontier - 70.438 Govies - 77.056 Chops - 75.488 Alliance - 73.450 (Unweighted, only one score) White Sabers - 71.907 Lakeshoremen - 69.550 Gulf Coast Sound - 67.613 (Unweighted, only one score) Like I said, I don't have accurate scores for the west coast corps, because I can't get recaps. An observation: Whoever judged the South St. Paul show on Sun August 20 obviously didn't like stuff. There were some very wild fluctuations in the subcaptions that just don't make sense. High Captions: (unweighted) Visual Composite: Bucs 28.15 (8/26) Music Composite: Bucs 28.725 (8/26) Effect Composite: Bucs and Empire 38.10 (8/26) High Subcaptions: Color Guard: Bush 18.9 (8/26) Percussion: Bucs 38.5 (8/26) Brass: Bucs and Bush 38.1 (8/26) I'm not going sub by sub....:P If you want to see the spreadsheet drop me a PM with your e-mail address.

OK...numbers are crunched. Sorry, no numbers for Renegades or SCD, and some DCI judged shows are missing for midwest corps, as I tried to be as fair as I could and just use DCA -run shows. Plus, 'gades haven't had a show since July, so there's some unfairness involved. Now, how do you want these presented? I used Musumeche's formula for DCI: 4 shows: .5, .25, .15, .1 3 Shows: .5, .25, .25 2 shows: .5, .5 What does this mean: Lets take Cabs last 4 Field Visual Technique scores: West Haven: 93 * .5 = 46.5 Scranton: 91 * .25 = 22.75 Kingston: 91 * .15 = 13.65 Syracuse: 87 * .1 = 8.7 Add the above and you get Cabs weighted score for Field Visual Tech: 91.6 You do this for every sub caption, and crunch the subs like you normally would. I have all this in a nice large excel sheet...so I can post what you want without much issue. Let me know. :)
