JamMan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I wish DCP would update the caption scores, because those used to be the best to compare progress. Anyway, I'll wait to see the shows myself this week, but I hope it doesn't turn into the "Judges clearly have a favorite and will find a reason to make scores happen" that happened at a couple shows with various corps.

boxingfred Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Two very good corps. Two very different shows. It's up to the judges. Back on the road tomorrow! Two weeks of drum corps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 That said, if history is any indicator, the Cadets know how to clean. They know how to surge late season. Usually I’d agree with that but they never got clean last year, at least not Cadet’s clean. I wonder if the past few years have taken a toll on the talent in the corps. If so, and the show is that difficult (I have not seen them yet) they could peter out and slide down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they kept changing big chunks of the show almost until the last week. That seems less likely to happen this year, so perhaps they will be back to their more familiar August hyper-clean selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIpwnstesn00bs Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm going to say (re: "hope") that Holy Name caps the 1.3 point difference from last night and chips away at it over the next few weeks. I feel Crown's momentum right now is the stuff of story books. Those kids must be living the dream right now, and I can only imagine that their first waking thought every morning is to keep that dream going. This could also lead to arrogance in some of their minds where they dont try as much cause they r already on top Which motivates more? Who knows. Looking at a purely competitive, "what medal are we getting in Indy" standpoint, both corps have a lot "at stake". HNC's 75th anniversary. Crown's first legitimate shot at a title. also crown's 20th year, might help too That said, if history is any indicator, the Cadets know how to clean. They know how to surge late season. They have the vehicle to get them there, it just needs a few dings knocked out of it and a couple coats of wax. im pretty sure everyone has a vehichle to get them there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Soooo.......I retract my previous "trading all the way to texas." It might be, may be, could very well be....that HNC will not catch Crown at all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonious Cacophony Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Soooo.......I retract my previous "trading all the way to texas." It might be, may be, could very well be....that HNC will not catch Crown at all !! I don't know about that; corps tend to sandwich at the top towards late in the season. I expect the margin to get closer in August when the groups start firing on all cylinders. Personally, I'm hoping for a multi-corps dogfight for the championship, and right about now, it looks like Crown might be in the thick of it.
