kdaddy Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 If they hadn't won, PR's drum major would still have been "dead" for the first place announcement. Does the winning corps know ahead of time (i.e., prior to the public announcement) that it has won the Spirit of Disney award? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhanFan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yeah I thought about that too - would have been more dramatic if he hadn't had to come alive until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Maybe after the Spirit of Disney award, the other drum major should have killed him again and put him back under the sheet .... "I'm not dead yet ....." ($1 to Monty Python) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantheOldMan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The drummajor laying dead was an excellent part of the night, especially since the assistant drummajors didn't stand up front. PR rocked at that show!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, PR didn't know it had won the Spirit of Disney until it was announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peel Paint Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 If they hadn't won, PR's drum major would still have been "dead" for the first place announcement. Hahahaha! You're right, that would have been very cool. Part of the reason, I'm sure, that Phantom won Spirit of Disney, was their attention to detail in making sure that they took every opportunity to creatively interpret the concept, so whoever picked Phantom for SoD most likely also loved the dead drum major touch. Does the winning corps know ahead of time (i.e., prior to the public announcement) that it has won the Spirit of Disney award? No inside knowledge here, but I'm almost sure that all caption awards and Spirit of Disney are a closely guarded secret until their public announcement. I wondered how they convinced Meghan Huber of The Crossmen to march out with the other drum majors at finale. However they did it, I doubt they did it by telling her she'd won Best Drum Major.

However they did it, I doubt they did it by telling her she'd won Best Drum Major. I think they probably told her or at least the director that the Crossmen won an award and she would need to accept it at retreat. Disney votes on their award, and the captions are judged. Who decides best DM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcorpscadets Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I felt Blue Stars were a far better canidate for the Disney Award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 I felt Blue Stars were a far better canidate for the Disney Award That's interesting. I wouldn't say "far better," but I'd definitely put them in contention. Which brings up a good point - what's the lowest placing corps to win the Disney award? I believe Scouts won it in the six spot a couple times. Is that the lowest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
