rai-mello Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would hardly call a 19.2 in brass performance lacking. Scores for all corps were insanely high last year. If the top 7 corps can break 19 in brass performance, then I would hardly say they held them back. 19.2 is a very high score whether you're in 7th or 3rd. It is not that it is bad. It's just that that was their lowest caption. To say that their percussion needs to be fixed means that they are the lowest scoring caption.

Harvey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 From what I'm hearing...Spirit is going to need a few more horn players first. From what I saw of BK's Nov camp , low hornline numbers are not uncommon this winter at the non-top 7 corps. Now that corps like Bluecoats are starting their cuts, the 8-16 corps will see an influx of people in the hornlines. As I previously posted, Blue Stars and Crossmen should both be much improved. Blue Stars new visual force of Kevin Ford and Michael Shapiro should fix some major visual and guard issues they had last year (heard they've already attracted quite a few members from Boston), and Crossmen's staff should be much better this year with a full season of DCI under their belt. Heard their numbers have been very strong so far, with very good talent levels as well. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Madison brings this year as well. I really miss their former attitude. I hope their new staff can bring it back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say that their percussion needs to be fixed means that they are the lowest scoring caption. Caption scores are not always indicative of which section is the strongest. Crown's brass was not a weakness for them at all, and I don't think any judge out there would consider their brass section as a weak link either.

He's not saying that Crown's brass was bad, or that their brass is the weak link. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percussion was definitely there last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjdavistuba Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just because the PLACEMENT was lower, doesn't mean the SCORE was lower. There is a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter90210 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Bluecoats could maybe crack the top 3 this yearAnd I think its entirely possible for the Blue Stars, Madison, or The Academy to slip their way into final before the season is through Bluecoats are NOT going to crack top 3 this year. You Bloo-bug-a-boos say that every year. The Bluecoats blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
